SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND
Archive
December 31, 2020: In a vision I saw a warning sign (yellow diamond shape), which read "Slow". I believe this means that the transition into the new year will be a slow process, and we need to cool our jets to alleviate frustration. God is still on the throne, and we can trust Him to take us one step at a time and one day at a time into the new season. We praise Him for His faithfulness to us. Psalm 23:1-6 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. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
December 30, 2020: Put your faith and trust in Me to help you in ways that are beyond your ability to help yourself. I will lead you in ways that you would never have thought of, which will result in the perfect solution to difficult problems. Resist the urge to allow presumption to take you off course. You will know the truth when you live and walk in the Spirit. John 14:16-17 "And I [Jesus] will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
December 29, 2020: I am aware of a great spiritual battle at this time. It reminds me of the angel who had to fight the Prince of Persia before he could give a message to Daniel. Similarly, there is great darkness over the earth, and God is trying to speak to His people. The dark forces are preventing most people from hearing Him. Even the prophets who once heard God no longer hear. The Lord is calling us by His Spirit to break through the darkness and deception to hear Him. Jeremiah 29:11-13 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. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
December 28, 2020: I heard the words "hair trigger", having to do with a firearm set to release at the slightest pressure. To those who tend to be volatile I heard the Lord's warning to consider the negative outcome of going off half-cocked or without considering the outcome. You need to take time to cool off before you react to situations that seem to be threatening. Let My love overshadow your responses. 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
December 27, 2020: Surrender completely to Me. Only then will I bring you to a higher level where you can begin to see with spiritual precision. From that place your life will unfold step by step as I go before you to prepare the way for My purposes to not only be revealed but demonstrated in your life. Put your trust in Me. 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.
December 26, 2020: Seek Me to establish peace in the very core of your being, and set your heart to be at peace with yourself and others. Peace is an empowering choice. It will take practice to perfect, but worth the effort as you release yourself from fear. Let peace be your new normal. You will be delighted with the result. Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
December 25, 2020: When it is important to you to be treated well, you must examine how you treat others. Be done with pride and cruel criticism, and align yourself with My commandment to love one another. Change your view to always give the benefit of the doubt. Your judgment of other people will come back to you in kind. Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."
December 24, 2020: Be quiet and still. Wait for Me and I will come to you and speak to your heart. I will reveal to you what you desire to know and understand. I will give wisdom and guidance. You will only hear Me when you set yourself apart from the noise and chaos of the world around you and seek. 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!
December 23, 2020: To those who feel trapped without the liberty to do as you please, consider that true freedom is that of soul and spirit. No one can keep you from free thought, feelings or desire. And no one can dictate your dreams, your dedication to Me or your worship in Spirit. Your internal work is your own without censorship. Rejoice in the power to be unhindered in the things that really matter. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
December 22, 2020: You are My temple, My dwelling place. It is up to each one to make yourself a fit habitation for My Spirit. Yet I find some who are nothing more than a pile of rubble as you lie in ruins and are unable to be what you were born and called to be. It is time for you to rise up and rebuild your life in the Spirit so that I can live fully in and through you. 2 Corinthians 6:16-17 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people." Therefore "Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you."
December 21, 2020: To those who have been traumatized by circumstances, I want you to know that I understand and see your discomfort and stress. And I will bring you through this time stronger, wiser, and more resilient if you will keep the faith and let Me help you. You will never forget this time, but you will get past it. Be encouraged. 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
December 20, 2020: Use this season to renew your commitment to the Kingdom of God and to righteousness and peace. Rejoice in the birth, life, death, resurrection and redemption of your Savior. Take this time to worship in spirit and in truth and give glory and honor and praise to your Redeemer. John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand."
December 19, 2020: This is a perfect time to leave your disappointments behind and to take every opportunity to draw near to Me. You can dream and imagine what it would be like to have a close, personal relationship in Spirit, but it will only happen when you make the effort. Take the time to quiet the noise and distractions both outside and inside, and truly seek Me with all your heart. Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me.
December 18, 2020: Dwelling on past regrets is a waste of time. The best you can do is to learn from your mistakes and poor judgment and set your course to walk in the Spirit where I can impart wisdom, mercy and grace. Righteousness will be the result of your relationship with Me. James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
December 17, 2020: The problems you have had to face and deal with will bear the fruit of resolution. Be patient and continue in your determination to do what is right and good. The seeds you sow in this season will produce a bountiful harvest in due season. Be strong and keep the faith. 1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
December 16, 2020: You're living in troubled times, but you must remember that I am your help. When you seek Me I will elevate you above the problems so that you can find peace and assurance. In My presence your hope will be restored. Do not allow current conditions to drag you down. Get up and go up! Jeremiah 29:11-13 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. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
December 15, 2020: In a vision I saw a brilliant rainbow, and there was a sense of exploration and victory. The rainbow and its colors represent our covenant with God and our progression in the Spirit. Red symbolizes the blood of Christ that covers and forgives sin in the flesh. Orange is the determination to seek the Lord. Yellow is enlightenment and illumination. Green is life in the Spirit. Blue is the inspiration to walk in the Spirit. Indigo is living in the Spirit and unity with Christ. Violet is spiritual fulfillment. So the rainbow describes our journey and destiny. Psalm 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
December 14, 2020: Take advantage of every opportunity to display My character and nature. Live your life in ways that demonstrate constant and unfailing relationship with Me. It is impossible to live in the light and in darkness at the same time. You will choose one or the other. Choose to exhibit the fruit of My Spirit and the power of redemption. Romans 3:24-26 Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
December 13, 2020: It is futile to try to manage those things that are beyond your ability to control. Everyone has been given the option to decide and choose, yet there are times when you want to hijack that right and intervene where you have no authority to do so. I call on each one to respect the autonomy and freedom of every individual without judgment. Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged."
December 12, 2020: Beloved, you must work out your own salvation. You have been washed and cleansed by the power of the blood, but the details of living according to that promise of salvation are up to you. You will choose to live in the light or remain in darkness. It is your decision to either live righteously by the Spirit or live carnally by the flesh. I have given you the tools to succeed. Do not underestimate the power of your choices. Philippians 2:12-15 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. 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.
December 11, 2020: Breakthrough will come as surely as the sun rises, but you must wait for it and not lose hope in the process. Set your heart on the journey that will take you to destiny. When you feel too weak to go on, rest assured that I will strengthen you and surround you with a hedge of protection. Do not quit. Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!
December 10, 2020: Be flexible; there are adjustments that must be made in order to find and stay in the flow of the Spirit. Settle down and don't panic because things didn't turn out the way you had envisioned. Patience is required to get through this season. Take a breath, relax, and trust Me to bring you through in My timing and perfection. I am with you! Psalm 138:8 8 The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands.
December 9, 2020: Examine yourself to see whether you live in the Spirit or not. You will know and be known by your fruit. Check your motives, attitudes, and behavior which should align with the fruit of the Spirit. If not, you are more likely than not exhibiting the works of the flesh and your carnal nature. Strive to maintain spiritual relationship with Me and to be an example of My kingdom. Galatians 5:19-23 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
December 8, 2020: When circumstances seem to be insurmountable you need to factor in the power of the Spirit. When you live in the Spirit you are an overcomer and able to accomplish the impossible. You can rely on Me to give you wisdom and direction in every situation. Have faith. Mark 10:27 But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
December 7, 2020: No one can make it through life without a mountain of regrets. There is nothing to do about the past, but know that I paid the price for your sin. My blood was shed to cleanse and cover you. Your entrance into eternal life is through My sacrifice. Remember what is at stake when you choose the darkness of sin over the light of life. Choose well. 1 John 1:6-7 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
December 6, 2020: Do what it takes to stay focused and to keep your perspective tied to reality. There is a difference between spiritual reality and religious superstition, and you must choose the side of truth instead of trying to make yourself feel better by believing fables. You must forge ahead clear-eyed and ready to take life as it comes. 1 John 2:21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
December 5, 2020: Hold all things loosely, and put your future in My hands. The result of your assumptions will be disappointment. You are not able to see what is ahead with clarity. You must live in the here and now to the best of your ability through My Spirit who will enable you to live righteously. Refuse to allow fear to gain a foothold in your life. Matthew 6:19-21 "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
December 4, 2020: Transition has taken longer than you thought it would, and it still is not over. Patience is required for this leg of your journey, but you must not lose hope and faith in Me to give direction and wisdom for the season. Take each moment as it comes and make the most of it. Colossians 1:9b-11 ... that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.
December 3, 2020: Be determined to stay awake spiritually because the forces of darkness will try to get you off course through complacency. Get focused, stay focused and refuse to be sidetracked by things of the world. You are My priority and I want to be your first priority, but you get to choose. Romans 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
December 2, 2020: I dreamed that there was a pig in the basement of our house. I knew that this pig or other pigs had gotten into our house in the past, but we never knew how they got in. It was too large to enter by the pet door. But now how would we get it out? The pig was too heavy to remove physically, and we had to coax it and herd it out the downstairs door. I believe this dream has to do with our flesh or carnal nature that seems to just suddenly show up, and we don't know how it got in, but we have to deal with it spiritually and shut the door. Romans 8:12-13 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
December 1, 2020: This is a time when you can make changes that will release you from the past. You have considered for some time the direction your life might take, but now you will have the fortitude to take action. Do not be afraid of what your future holds. You can only live in the moment. Trust that I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and of good courage. 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."
November 30, 2020: Refuse to allow condemnation to take you down. Many of you feel that you make more mistakes than you get things right, but I tell you honestly that the enemy of your soul is lying to you. You have not been this way before, and understanding what is not effective is valuable to your life experience. It is part of your learning process. Set yourself to walk and live in the Spirit. 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.
November 29, 2020: Do not be moved by conversations and opinions of others because they will take you off course. You should only be affected by My word and by what I show you personally. These are days when the truth is hard to come by, so you have to be on guard and keep yourself in righteousness, peace and holiness. Romans 6:13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
November 28, 2020: For those who have been seeking for wisdom in solving difficult problems, your answer to resolution is forthcoming. Stay alert both naturally and spiritually so that you don't miss the directive that will facilitate your steps to breakthrough. The answers you are seeking will be subtle but powerful. Proverbs 2:6-8 For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints.
November 27, 2020: In a vision I saw a series of bridges--one over a deep canyon, several over rivers, and one that was a covered bridge. I heard the Lord say that we, His people, are still in the middle of transition, and we are in process of getting to a place of safety in our journey. He is our covering and our very present help in times of trouble, and all we can do is just keep moving forward. He is with us! Psalm 91:3-6 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
November 26, 2020: There are things you can do for others and things you cannot do, and you must draw a clear line of distinction between the two. Your sympathy could cause you to cross that line and take on burdens that do not belong to you. Establish the boundaries that I have set for you by reminding yourself that you only have responsibility where you have been given authority. Luke 6:31 "And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise."
November 25, 2020: Be on guard for those who would scheme to exploit you because of their desperation. If it seems to good to be true, it probably is. You may not be able to trust other people, but you can trust Me to reveal assignments and plots against you. Ask for wisdom and know that I will give it. Mark 4:22 "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light."
November 24, 2020: When you are overwhelmed and undone, take the time necessary to commune with Me. Do this regularly for the sake of sanity. Take a breath and release all tension and stress as you rest in My presence. Come to the place that is above and beyond the worries of the day. Be at peace. Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
November 23, 2020: Just as your physical life began in the seclusion and safety of the womb, your spirit life will be established in the secret place of the Most High. Your relationship with Me will be nurtured in privacy, sheltered from the noise and distractions of the world. Find that place where spiritual growth can take place. Matthew 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
November 22, 2020: Be filled with My Spirit. When you yield to the presence of the Spirit, His gifts and fruit will be demonstrated in your life. Only then will the works of the flesh become a thing of the past. Invite the Holy Spirit to live in you and allow Him to lead. Galatians 5:19-23 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
November 21, 2020: Exercise generosity and compassion. This season calls for an effort to help where you can. Do not forget the times when you have been helped and rescued, then go and do likewise. Demonstrate the power of My love and be understanding and kind to others. Romans 12:10-13 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
November 20, 2020: You cannot predict where you will be or what you will be doing in the distant future nor should you. You must walk out your life moment by moment, day by day. Do so without fear or trepidation because I am with you and will command the blessing for all who put their trust in Me, and when you go through difficult days you can walk in faith regardless of circumstance. Deuteronomy 28:7-9 "The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you. The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways."
November 19, 2020: Look to the horizon of a new day both naturally and spiritually. The difficulties you have endured will become a thing of the past, and you will begin again. Things will never be the same, but you will have the strength and desire to embrace what lies ahead. Refuse to give in to fear and dread. 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.
November 18, 2020: I speak to those who have not progressed spiritually and have gotten stuck. I tell you the truth that there is more for you, a higher level of anointing and understanding. But you must reach beyond your current position and with a sense of purpose rise up to achieve that level. You have not arrived. Push forward to realize what is available to you. Ephesians 1:17-19 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power...
November 17, 2020: Maintain sound reasoning and truth. There are many voices designed to lure you away from spiritual reality, but remember that I am the way, the truth and the life. Circumstances come and go, but your relationship with Me will endure forever. Foster that relationship. John 8:32 "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
November 16, 2020: Come to Me. Set your heart and mind to seek and find Me. The fulfillment of the plan of redemption has removed the veil between us so that you can come boldly and without fear. Come in faith believing that I understand your needs and will have compassion on you. My love for you is boundless. Hebrews 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
November 15, 2020: Deliberately align yourself with Me. Make sure that you yield your body to My perfection. Reset so that your thoughts, emotions and will are in perfect union with Me. And bring your spirit into absolute unity with My Spirit. Only then can you function as one with Me and reap the rewards of this advantage. John 17:21-23 "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. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
November 14, 2020: Set yourself to expand in areas of strength and success as you let go of the positions of defeat and failure. To those of you who keep doing the same things that do not work for you, it is time to seek My direction so that you can move forward with a different plan. I will give you the wisdom necessary for breakthrough, but you will have to abandon mindsets that have hindered your progress. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
November 13, 2020: Be aware that the difficulties of these days will not frame and define the rest of your life. What you are going through is momentary and transitional. These are times to dig in spiritually and feed on the truth and peace that surpass understanding. Encourage yourself in the fact that I will give you the power to overcome as you align your body, soul, and spirit with My will. Philippians 4:6-8 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. 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.
November 12, 2020: These are days of precision. When you allow Me to direct your steps, every detail will be exact. I will guide you with flawless accuracy so that you never stumble or fall. You will be able to fulfill My will and purposes for your life without a hitch. So, listen for My still, small voice and follow My lead. Psalm 18:32 It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
November 11, 2020: Examine yourself to recognize the issues that need your attention. Fear and dread have caused you to procrastinate, but now is the time to push forward and do what needs to be done. These issues have become spiritual hindrances and have taken you out of the flow of My Spirit. I will give you the ability to overcome when you face your fears and trust Me. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
November 10, 2020: Many of you are steadily gazing at life's circumstances, which will keep you earthbound. Look up and access all that is available to you as My child. Trust Me. I see your dilemma, and I am willing and able to bring you through to victory. Shift your focus from natural to spiritual, from earth to heaven. Psalm 5:3 My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.
November 9, 2020: In a vision I saw a ram in mid air as he was leaping over a deep chasm. Rams are able to navigate rough terrain with ease. We who walk in the Spirit are likewise able to live in the spiritual heights comfortably. The point of the vision is that we are spiritual beings in transition, and we are well able to deal with every situation we encounter successfully when we walk in the Spirit. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
November 8, 2020: If you are to make the most of this time you will be required to shift your focus from subject matter that keeps you from living at peace within yourself to seeking the peace that comes with living in the Spirit. You must put aside persistent thoughts that result in inner turmoil and come to Me to find peace and grace. Romans 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
November 7, 2020: Beloved, like clay in the hand of the potter, I continue to mold you into My image. The things that you endure give opportunities for you to grow stronger and more resolute both spiritually and naturally. Never forget that you are My special treasure and loved beyond what you can imagine. Go forth with renewed assurance that I am with you and for you. Jeremiah 18:3-4 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.
November 6, 2020: When you pray do so with confidence and not with trepidation. Bring your concerns to Me and leave them with Me. Many of you pray and then try to micromanage the outcome as you worry and stew over your request. It is imperative that you come in faith, leave your burden, and go in peace. 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.
November 5, 2020: In perilous times it is more important than ever to receive the outpouring of My Spirit. When it feels like you have been forsaken, you must remember that I will never leave you nor forsake you. I will lead you out of dark times into the glorious light of My presence. Seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that you may receive all that I have for you. Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
November 4, 2020: You have always been set apart or separated for My purposes, but I am doing a further work of separation so that you can more completely fulfill the spiritual work you have been given to do according to My plans for your life. You must rise above everything mundane and fleshly. You can no longer do things that you find to be marginal. You belong totally to Me. You will know that you are ready to rise higher spiritually when you have no tolerance for strife, contention and hatred. Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
November 3, 2020: Stand your ground. Hold your position. Maintain and continue. I am your enabler, and I will uphold you. Your part is to submit and yield to the work of the Spirit in you. I will not lead you astray or tear you down. Allow Me to build you up and strengthen you to live according to My will and purposes. Establish yourself in peace and do not be afraid. I am with you. Psalm 29:11 The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.
November 2, 2020: When you get discouraged renew your faith. Set your sights on having relationship with Me. It is not necessarily about what I can and will do for you, it is a matter of eternal life which is beyond your temporary conditions in the natural realm. Invest in My word and believe! 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
November 1, 2020: I call you to maintain truth and integrity in the midst of a crooked generation. I am your Rock, your Fortress and your High Tower. If you are truly Mine, you will reflect My values of being just, upright, and righteous. Refuse to slowly drift away from all that is good, solid and eternal. Stand strong and unwavering. Deuteronomy 32:5-6 "They have corrupted themselves; they are not His children, because of their blemish: A perverse and crooked generation. Do you thus deal with the Lord, O foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father, who bought you? Has He not made you and established you?"
October 31, 2020: In a vision I saw a runner jumping hurdles and there were still a bunch of hurdles ahead. I heard the Lord say that we, His people, are running the race of life and there are still obstacles ahead that we must navigate. However, He has trained us and prepared us for such a time as this and we will overcome with His help. Hebrews 12:1 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.
October 30, 2020: The order of the day is to move from outside to inside, from external to internal, from flesh to spirit. When your focus is on people, places and things around you, it is unlikely that you will walk and live in the Spirit. The greatest place of awareness, knowledge, wisdom, and healing is found in your spiritual connection with Me. You can do this by deliberately changing your point of view. Make the move. Romans 8:7-9a Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you.
October 29, 2020: Allow Me to lead you in the way of solving difficult problems. I will give you the wisdom and direction you need for this specific time if you ask. You are facing issues that you have never had to deal with in the past, but I am not surprised or confused. I will show you the way to overcome and gain the victory. 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.
October 28, 2020: When you chose the way of redemption, you changed your destiny. You moved from the darkness of the world into the light of the Lord. Now you must walk the path of redemption in goodness and truth so that you can produce the fruit fitting a child of the King. Exercise wisdom, and rise above the evil of these days to live righteously. Be an example of life in the Spirit. Ephesians 5:8-11 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
October 27, 2020: To those who have become cold-hearted, mean, and haughty so that you dismiss other people, do not forget that the law of sowing and reaping cannot be averted. Make a concerted effort to develop a softer attitude, one of love and humility. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
October 26, 2020: Never forget that I have equipped you to carry out the work of the Kingdom. Complaining about the difficulties you endure is beneath your dignity and purpose. I have given you the strength and power to not only endure hardship but to overcome by the power of My Spirit who dwells in you. Pick yourself up and push on to victory. The reward is worth the effort. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
October 25, 2020: Be strong within yourself and refuse to be moved either in soul or spirit by outside forces. Strength will come from your strong and firm foundation in Christ. Even in the midst of the whirlwind your underpinnings will prevail. Do not be afraid. I am your protector. Psalm 91:4-7 He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.
October 24, 2020: For those who have chosen to seek Me, I have insulated you from natural and spiritual destructive forces. This isolation will seem like a time of silence, but it is indeed a place of extreme safety. Set your heart to find Me, and you will find that the anointing that comes with My presence is very strong. I am present with you and will never leave you nor forsake you. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
October 23, 2020: I have set a higher standard of excellence for My people to abide by. But you can only meet this high standard by living and walking in the Spirit. You do not have the ability to live at this level through outward manifestations of the flesh. You can only do this through your vital, intimate relationship and unity with Me by the Spirit. Then, I will work in you what is pleasing in My sight. Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.
October 22, 2020: There is a very strong anointing that can be accessed by those who rise above the cares of the world. It is an anointing to do My will in the spiritual realm. You must quiet your flesh and listen for My instruction and not set out on your own to do a religious thing. This is above and beyond anything you have been called to do thus far. Your journey will be sacred. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
October 21, 2020: In a dream I was renovating my living space using redwood. The key to understanding the dream is to understand the properties of redwood. Redwood trees are known for their longevity, they stand taller than any other tree, they are stable and always green, they contribute to the stabilization of the global climate, and they have the ability to not only survive but to thrive. I believe the Lord is calling us to grow and stay alive spiritually, to stand tall in His purposes, to be godly in our environment and to thrive as His people. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
October 20, 2020: For those who are waiting for things to change, your wait is not over. Disappointment will be the result of unreasonable expectations. You cannot count on people to fulfill your desires, but you can put your faith in Me to guide you to your destiny. It will not be easy because there are challenges to be met and lessons to learn, but you will succeed if you trust Me. Jeremiah 17:7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord."
October 19, 2020: When it seems like I have retreated and am further away, it is essential that you draw near, seek and find Me. Reach out spiritually and set your heart on intimacy because it is time to grow. There are times in your life when you have to run to catch up; this is one of those times when everything around you seems to be stale, bleak, and quiet. Set yourself in motion. Ecclesiastes 1:13 And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.
October 18, 2020: In these uncertain times you can maintain solid footing by putting your spiritual life first. You are an eternal being, and your primary investment must be in things eternal. Yet many of you are focusing on day-to-day chaos. Set your sights higher and get your priorities in order. Separate yourself from the crowd and come away with Me. Let Me lead you in the ways of righteousness. Proverbs 2:20 So you may walk in the way of goodness, and keep to the paths of righteousness.
October 17, 2020: In a vision I saw a family of mountain goats scrambling up a very steep and craggy terrain, and the Lord said, "The way is difficult and the path is daunting. Only those whose hearts are set on going higher spiritually will endure the hardship of elevation. With My help your footing will be secure and steady. I will make a way where there seems to be no way." Matthew 7:13-14 Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
October 16, 2020: Circumstances will dictate your best course of action in the days ahead. If you are uncertain and afraid settle yourself in the assurance that I am with you. I know you. I care for you. Allow Me to bring you through difficulties. I am your very present help in times of trouble. Psalm 33:20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield.
October 15, 2020: Do not forget to include Me in every area of your life and ask Me for help. I am not a silent partner. I will speak to you in a still, small voice when you must position yourself to hear. Internally you must shut down the fear, worry and other loud voices that would lead you astray. This will depend on your level of sensitivity to My Spirit, which must be developed in quietness as you seek. John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what yo desire, and it shall be done for you."
October 14, 2020: In a vision I saw a large corn field ready for harvest. As I watched, I saw people who had been hidden in the cornstalks begin to emerge. And I heard the Lord say that those who have been hidden in a place of obscurity will begin to come forth and experience breakthrough with varying degrees of significance. For some breaking through will be life-changing and for others it will be moments of unusual clarity of purpose and direction. Praise God for His goodness! Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
October 13, 2020: Check yourself and be aware of your vulnerabilities both naturally and spiritually. Look for areas in your life where you can be exploited by the enemy of your soul. Remember that I am your safe haven, and I will give you the awareness you need to strengthen your habitation. Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, until the indignation is past.
October 12, 2020: Quiet yourself and find physical and spiritual space where we can commune. The earth is overflowing with loud and invasive corruption, but you can set yourself apart to focus on your relationship with Me and to hear My voice, obey My leading, and find rest for your soul. Come away from all of that, My beloved, and be refreshed and renewed. 2 Corinthians 13:14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.
October 11, 2020: You can plan ahead and set your sights on better days. But you still have to make your way through the time you have presently. Ask and I will give you unusual insight and understanding of how to make the best of where you are now while you maintain hope for the future. Set your goal to progress and develop spiritually. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
October 10, 2020: When everything feels broken around you it likely is. So much of what seemed dependable and solid in the natural realm is no longer the same. Your only place of security and safety is in the Spirit. I remain the same and My word is still the truth. You will find that your place of stability is your relationship with Me and your dependence on that which is eternal. Stay grounded in the Word. Psalm 119:160 The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.
October 9, 2020:
Do all that is necessary to maintain integrity
regardless of the darkness that covers the earth. You do not belong to the
kingdoms of the earth, you belong to Me. Cling to the principles that represent
My kingdom. Take a stand for righteousness, peace and safety.
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.
October 8, 2020: You must live true to your convictions and refuse to allow what others do or say to take you off course. I will be your guide when you trust Me. Your spiritual awareness will keep you in your correct position. That awareness comes from My Spirit. Quiet your own thoughts and emotions so that your responses are righteous. Be strong and silent. Isaiah 32:18 My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.
October 7, 2020: You live in extraordinary times, and it is more vital than ever that you stay alert both spiritually and in the natural realm. Be aware of the times when I say GO and times when I say NO. You must position yourself in divine order and move with the flow of My Spirit so that you can be safe. This is no time to be careless. Psalm 107:28-30 Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet; so He guides them to their desired haven.
October 6, 2020: Shore up places of vulnerability that could be exploited. Repent for all unrighteousness of thought or deed. Pay particular attention to prejudicial injustice. I tell you the truth that any place of weakness can and will be exploited by the enemy. Choose to walk in love towards everyone. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
October 5, 2020: Breakthrough will come in moments of progression and victory. Do not underestimate the power of My presence in your circumstances. Stay present with Me and rejoice in the small steps that result in your ultimate success. I am your helper. Go forth in strength and confidence. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
October 4, 2020: Don't cry. Pray! Nothing can be accomplished by feeling sorry for yourself or someone else. But when you rise up in the Spirit, seek My face and pray according to My will and purposes, I hear and answer you. You can also access that which I have already made available to you. 2 Peter 1:2-4 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
October 3, 2020: When change becomes the new normal, you may have to adapt in your routine or the way you do things externally. But spiritually you can count on Me. I am your solid foundation, which is unchanging and immovable. Your faith is absolute and resolute, and you will stand strong in the face of adversity. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
October 2, 2020: Settle yourself in the peace of My presence. Unsettling chaos abounds, and you need to find calm and tranquility in the midst of turmoil. Ground yourself in eternal truth. I am your anchor in the storm-tossed sea. I am your place of security. Come to Me and find rest for your soul. Colossians 2:6-7 As you have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
October 1, 2020: There is safety in knowing the truth. My word will set the guidelines for spiritual reality and access to wisdom. If you count on circumstances to lead, you will be led astray. Every action requires a deliberate decision. Decide to partner with Me, and I will keep you on course. Do not be afraid! Psalms 84:5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
September 30, 2020: Steady yourself, and refuse to allow anything to move you from what you know is right and good. This is a time when it seems as though the world around you is doing everything to keep you from living your life in quiet dedication to My purposes. Find the place of quiet determination to be one with Me in spirit. John 14:17 "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."
September 29, 2020: I am with you to bring you through everything that has the potential of taking you off course. There are many issues that could distract you from your primary spiritual focus. So you must keep Me as the apple of your eye, just as you are the apple of My eye. Strengthen your resolve to live righteously and be led by My Spirit. Psalm 17:7-9 Show Your marvelous lovingkindness by Your right hand, O You who save those who trust in You from those who rise up against them. Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me under the shadow of Your wings, from the wicked who oppress me, from my deadly enemies who surround me.
September 28, 2020: Be filled to overflowing with My Spirit. It is imperative that you live and walk in the Spirit. There is no other way to navigate life and be spiritually vital. Religious dogma will not empower you, nor will putting on a show of outward devotion. Your relationship with Me must be deep, genuine and abiding. Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
September 27, 2020: Do not be like a leaf blown in the wind. Rather hold firmly to My word of truth which stands solidly, without wavering. Position yourself in faith so that regardless of the challenges you face, you cannot be moved. Refuse to allow your confidence in Me to be undermined. Stand strong. 1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
September 26, 2020: In a vision I saw a tangled rope, and I heard the Lord say, "For those whose lives have been a tangled mess, put your trust in Me to untangle and straighten out every place of misunderstanding and confusion. I will make the crooked places straight. Only believe." 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.
September 25, 2020: You are about to get unstuck. Spiritual blinders will be taken off so that you can see clearly, and roadblocks will be removed to allow you to move forward without hindrance. Things that you have tried to accomplish for quite some time will now be possible. I speak to you of a new level of freedom and insight that you have craved. Seek My face for wisdom and come into My presence for restoration. Renew your partnership with Me. Psalm 27:8 When You said, "Seek My face," my heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek."
September 24, 2020: Pay attention to subtle reminders of past mistakes or bad judgment calls. Circumstances will come up again as a test to see whether you grasped what you needed to learn. Internal work is the order of the day to bring you to a higher spiritual plateau. Your interaction with this opportunity can easily be missed, so be on high alert and get ready to move forward. Proverbs 8:32 "Now therefore, listen to me, my children, for blessed are those who keep my ways."
September 23, 2020: Set yourself in a protected place so that what you see and hear is godly and uplifting. Otherwise you could give in to contention, which is not good for you or those around you. I would have you find a righteous place in which to abide, a place of walking and living in My Spirit. Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
September 22, 2020: I speak to those who have become exhausted and drained of physical and mental resources. Separate yourself for a time from the things that have used you up. If you try to wrangle your way through this time by sheer natural strength, things will only get worse. Come to Me for a time of refreshing where you will find rest for your soul. Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
September 21, 2020: When you encounter delays, do not try to force anything. Let your current circumstances play out. You have heard that the devil is in the details, but that is not true. I am in your details when you commit your life to Me, and I will give you the guidance you need to succeed. Hold fast to what you know is true and trust Me to direct your steps. Psalm 119:133 Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
September 20, 2020: Don't be in a hurry. Every moment of every day will produce opportunities to know yourself and to know Me better. When you rush through life, you are likely to miss some important details. Those details will come back around until you have gleaned the value and applied it to your life. Pay attention and be aware of what I am showing you. Proverbs 5:1 My son, pay attention to my wisdom; lend your ear to my understanding.
September 19, 2020: In a vision I saw a bridge spanning a deep chasm, and we were making our way across the bridge. I believe this has to do with transitioning into the new spiritual year. We are leaving the past behind and moving to the next phase of existence to embrace whatever the Lord has for us as we learn and grow spiritually. Mark 4:3-8 "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
September 18, 2020: This is a time of sifting and sorting.
There are things to keep and things to throw away. You are already aware
of this process, but you have not finished the course.
This exercise will not only be in the physical realm, but will also be an
activity of the soul. Internal work
will continue with greater clarity than ever, as you experience more spiritual
refinement.
September 17, 2020: To those of you who are spiritually sensitive, the conditions of this present time have overwhelmed you and made you want to retreat. And, I say to you that when you retreat you must find your place of safety in Me. Let your life in the Spirit spring up into a fresh, new beginning that will produce strength and hope for the days to come. Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
September 16, 2020: You can make significant headway if you will take advantage of opportunities presented as well as the help that is available to you. Help will come both naturally and supernaturally. I am your very present help, and you can call on Me and lean on Me. Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
September 15, 2020: In these uncertain times, almost everything you hear is distorted and exaggerated for the purpose of manipulation and control. It is more important than ever that you walk in the Spirit and in the gift of discerning of spirits. Your place of safety is in seeking Me for truth and direction. I will show you the way. John 14:6a Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
September 14, 2020: Refuse to become short-sighted. It is important for you to be able to look beyond the difficulties of this time to see the big picture. Do not become a victim of the problems that seem to overshadow optimism. Set yourself to go forward in the power and strength of the Spirit. The flesh is weak, but your spirit is strong when you abide in Me. Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
September 13, 2020: You can achieve some sense of normalcy by establishing yourself in a spiritual flow to include time spent with Me. Well-being cannot be attained when you focus on all that is wrong in your life, your neighborhood, your country or the world. Rise above the things that drag you down and seek the place of peace and safety that comes from Me. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all.
September 12, 2020: When you evaluate what you are stressed about, you will find that most of that tension comes from things you have no control over. Take action where you have responsibility and authority, and let go of the rest. Release to Me those things that concern you. I can do what you cannot. Trust Me. Matthew 11:29-30 "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
September 11, 2020: This season of change will require your flexibility, and dependence on the wisdom and direction that only I can give. Your most valuable asset is relationship with Me and the ability to quiet your soul and listen for My voice. Do not overreact to events that surround you, but rather maintain a sense of calm stability. Faith is a vital component of moving from chaos to peace. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
September 10, 2020: You will be tempted to resent current limitations, but you need to understand that you are not out of the woods yet, so to speak. Difficulties and dangerous situations still exist. Your security will rely on how able you are to be content and your willingness to allow My grace to be sufficient. 2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
September 9, 2020: Can you sense the change in the spiritual atmosphere? Prepare to truly leave the past behind and embrace that which is being made ready for your future. You have endured the difficulties of the present time and have trusted in Me nonetheless. That trust will be rewarded. Continue to stand strong in faith. 2 Chronicles 15:7 "But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!"
September 8, 2020: Beloved, you have always been set apart for My purposes. However, I am doing a further work of separation so that you can more completely fulfill your destiny. Rise above everything mundane and fleshly. You can no longer do things that you know to be marginal. You belong totally to Me and must not tolerate small talk and gossip. Proverbs 11:13 A talebearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.
September 7, 2020: Just as the moving of water within the confines of a river bank is adaptable, you must also adapt to the fluidity of life changes. You can do this with grace by moving with the flow of My Spirit. Resisting change will not be effective, but know that I have your best interests at heart. I care about your welfare and will give you the wisdom and direction necessary to navigate this time with simplicity and confidence. Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding.
September 6, 2020: Breakthrough will not be a single significant event but rather a series of victories both small and great. If you will trust Me to lead you in the way of success, blessing will become a way of life. Get ready to leave behind pessimism and attitudes that have kept you from achieving your goals and purpose. Look to Me for direction and instruction. Hebrews 12:2 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.
September 5, 2020: Regardless of your hardship or the feeling of being out-of-pocket or displaced, I am with you. Refuse to give in to fear, worry, or vulnerability. Rise up to walk in the Spirit where you are safe and secure in My presence. You belong to Me and I am your help in every situation. Have faith in Me! Psalm 46:1-2 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.
September 4, 2020: You have often been urged by My Spirit to deal with unholy attitudes and motives. Opportunities will come around again for you to do the internal work necessary to overcome and be done with the carnal triggers that keep you from total victory. Examine yourself to see where you continue to be trapped, and make a deliberate decision to respond in ways that are pleasing in My sight. Matthew 26:41 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
September 3, 2020: The doors of days gone by are closing, and new doors will begin to open that will allow you to forge ahead. This process will not necessarily be a quick turn-around but will be a significant change. Do not resist change; it will be an outward sign of inward spiritual growth. Maintain an open mind and heart so that your movement will be of and by My Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
September 2, 2020: I was reminded of the lyrics of a song I wrote some time ago: "A new day is now dawning; it's the fourth watch in the tower. The Son of Man is appearing at an unexpected hour. Guard your post and stay ready, knowing the Father's will. As lightning flashes east to west, the Word He will fulfill. I will stand watch to hear what he says to me. I'll set myself on the rampart to see what I can see, to see what I can see." Luke 12:40 "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
September 1, 2020: You are still in the process of moving from the past to embrace the future. This in-between stage can be disorienting and produce a sense of loss. However, your spiritual investment is not in belongings or circumstances and situations. Your investment must be in Me. I am your solid foundation. I never change. I am always the same. Trust in your eternal God. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
August 31, 2020: Beloved, I have called you to be strong in the face of adversity and challenges. This is no time to let down or give up. I am with you to strengthen you when you feel weak and encourage you when you are in despair. Rise up in the realm of the Spirit and receive all that I have made available to you. I have called you by name, and I will protect you in times of trouble. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
August 30, 2020: The changes that you have endured were and are necessary to prepare the way for that which is to come. There must be an end of the old order before the beginning of the new order. This transition has been in process for quite some time, and now you will begin to see the culmination. Do not fear. I have been with you in the hard times and the easy times, and I will be with you as long as you are in Me. 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.
August 29, 2020: When you don't know where to go or what to do, quiet your soul, your thoughts and emotions, and turn to Me. Ask Me. Trust Me. I will direct your steps and lead you where you need to go and show you what you need to do. Refuse to allow fear or uncertainty to override the work of My Spirit. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
August 28, 2020: The days are evil, but you must remember that you are a warrior. You are called to defeat the devil at every turn. Have you forgotten that you have been given the power to do so? Rise up in My strength, armed with discernment and the sharp sword of My word. You are more than a conqueror in the Spirit. Luke 10:18-19 And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
August 27, 2020: One phase of your life is coming to an end, and you are in preparation for the next series of events. Be sensitive to My leading and make every step be one with Me in Spirit. The days following can be either depressing or exhilarating. It will depend on the choices you make as you go forward. Set your hope, your faith and your gaze on Me and I will bring you through in victory. 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.
August 26, 2020: You have been transitioning into a new era, and change is becoming a way of life. You have not yet arrived, but you have made steady progress. I will lead you forth with great grace. It is still one step at a time and one day at a time on the way to your destination. Trust Me to show you the way and give you peace when the feeling of being unsettled begins to overwhelm you. I am on this journey with you. Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
August 25, 2020: Let the glory of My presence permeate every fiber of your being. I will fill you with love and peace. I will strengthen and heal you. I will lift you high above the darkness into My glorious light where your soul and spirit can thrive. Come! Come and be one with Me. John 17:22-23 "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me."
August 24, 2020: You have heard the old adage, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is." You may be tempted to believe something that is not true, but you would do well to stay firmly planted in reality, both naturally and spiritually. Put aside your wishes, desires, and fantasies so that you can know the unvarnished facts and truth. Keep your eyes wide open as you walk and live in the Spirit of the Lord. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
August 23, 2020: Know that when you are going through a rough patch it is for the purpose of learning something valuable about yourself as you relate and connect to Me. Look for the silver lining in every dark cloud, and appreciate the opportunities you are given to grow and gain spiritual strength. Job 12:22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings the shadow of death to light.
August 22, 2020: Despite the overwhelming sense of despair and hopelessness, know that there is an end to the difficult problems you face. When you walk with Me, you walk as an overcomer in the land, and you will overcome. Refuse to give up. Stand in the spiritual strength that is available to you. Do not be afraid. 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.
August 21, 2020: You will be tempted to get stressed over things you can do nothing about. This is an effort in futility. Stay in the place of serenity that comes from strong connection with Me. Most of what you worry about is not as bad as you have imagined. Life's circumstances will play out with or without your emotional investment. Be at peace. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
August 20, 2020: Prepare to be stretched beyond your comfort zone. You will be moved in ways that surpass usual personal expression and will test your ability to be flexible. Keep your focus and trust in Me. I am with you in this time of expansion. Discern what I am doing and where the Spirit is moving and stay in that flow. Psalm 46:4-5 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.
August 19, 2020: I am taking you to new heights, to places you would never have dreamed of. I speak of spiritual high ground. You want to advance, but hindering forces have stood in your way. Now is a time when you can break through the barriers and see more clearly the wonders of My kingdom and to know more completely what you are capable of in the Spirit. Get ready to rise! Proverbs 4:12 When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble.
August 18, 2020: Seek Me for wisdom so that the tragedies of life can produce victories. Do nothing apart from the leading of My Spirit. Refuse to be overtaken by carnal reactions to difficult situations. You are blessed when you follow My leading, hear My instructions, and heed My corrections. 2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.
August 17, 2020: This is a time of letting go. Let go of everything that keeps you from spiritual progression. Your fussing and fretting will do nothing to solve problems and concerns. Find the solid foundation of life in the Spirit and then what you build will last. Build on the Word of truth and righteousness. Do not allow the things of the world to become a snare. Proverbs 10:25 When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.
August 16, 2020: Watch for your tendency to hearken back to simpler times. You know that you cannot go back. You can only move forward. The lessons you have learned through life's challenges are among your most valuable assets. The one constant in your life must be your walk in the Spirit. You should neither deify nor rue your past. Both positions will distort the reality of what was. You cannot relive the past or live in the future. Stay present with Me. Colossians 3:1-2 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
August 15, 2020: Beloved, refuse to allow frustration to cloud your judgment. It is easy for your emotions to dominate, but that's not the best course of action for you. Settle down and be pragmatic. Work every problem by being realistic and sensible. And always seek Me for guidance in solving difficult problems. James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
August 14, 2020: Develop an attitude of patient endurance in these times of suffering. You have indeed endured times of difficulty and unpleasantness. But, just as I (your Lord) suffered to eradicate sin, you can use your current suffering to overcome the carnal nature and become a better person. Do not despise these days, but rather use every situation to your spiritual advantage. 1 Peter 5:10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
August 13, 2020: If you seek Me for wisdom, I will give you perfect solutions to what seem to be difficult problems. In these situations you often forget that you can call on Me for answers. Change your mindset to always look to Me for knowledge and good judgment in every circumstance. I will not disappoint you. Psalm 51:6 Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom.
August 12, 2020: Your uncertainty does not reflect My heart. I am never uncertain. I know the beginning and the end and everything in between. And I call you to be in the spiritual place where you trust so completely in My ability to lead and guide you that you are not uncertain either. Your natural mind wants to worry, but your spirit, grounded in Me, will choose to trust. Be strong and unwavering. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
August 11, 2020: To those who are grappling with a difficult problem, remember that you can ask Me and I will give you a solution. I will show you the way. Stand firm on the assurance that I will help you. Do not fret or worry. Silence your inner turmoil so that you can hear My still, small voice. Zechariah 2:13 "Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"
August 10, 2020: Refuse to allow condemnation to dominate your thoughts and actions. This is a work of the carnal nature and of feeling like you don't measure up. When you live and walk in the Spirit it is no longer you who live, but Christ who lives in and through you. Instead of beating yourself up, recognize who you belong to and remember your divine connection and destination. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
August 9, 2020: When things become to difficult and complex, focus on the basics of what is important to your well-being. Get back to the word of God and the power of redemption through the Cross of Calvary. Establish yourself again in things that actually matter in terms of eternity. Refocus and regain your sense of simplicity. 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
August 8, 2020: Keep your soul pure as you strive to be straightforward and honest. These are days when you cannot always trust those around you to tell the unvarnished truth. Prejudice will twist the facts to fit a certain narrative. Open your heart and mind to know that which is correct, accurate and genuine without personal bias. The devil is a liar and the father of lies. 1 Peter 3:10 For "He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit."
August 7, 2020: Your relationship with Me is similar to every other relationship. Neglect will erode the closeness that is necessary in maintaining a good connection. Staying connected to Me is vital to your spiritual well-being, so you must take the time and make the effort to stay close. Avoid things that are upsetting and rob you of intimacy and peace. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
August 6, 2020: In a vision I could see large groups of people half asleep, yawning and stretching as they tried to wake up. Many of them were so groggy that they couldn't get on their feet. The enemy had drugged them with complacency. Then, some of them began to deliberately shake their hands, arms and legs to get life flowing again. It seemed as though their eyes were still stuck shut, but they were doing what they could to wake up and feel alive. Others just rolled over and went back to sleep. Isaiah 60:1-2 Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.
August 5, 2020: When you feel distant or far away from Me, it is not I who moved away. You have become distracted with the issues of life and things of the world. Religious culture and ritual will not bring you back. It is your desire to know Me and your effort to come into My presence that will narrow this widening gap. Seek Me with an undivided heart. Psalm 53:2 God looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God.
August 4, 2020: Take advantage of the uniqueness of this season to do internal work. Examine your thought life and see how you respond to others. Be honest about the things you fear, for those things will undermine your faith. You choose a different outcome of your thoughts and actions when you turn from evil and unbelief. Ask for revelation of the condition of your soul, and it will be revealed to you by the Spirit. Luke 11:9 "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."
August 3, 2020: I speak to those who feel like a race horse waiting for the gate to open. Your prancing up and down will not make the gate open any quicker. Settle down. Conserve your strength and energy. The time will come when you can run the race again, and you will run well. Now is not that time. Be patient. Luke 21:19 "By your patience possess your souls."
August 2, 2020: Do not despair. Your breakthrough will come. It will be like the breaking of a dam, which begins as a trickle and then bursts forth in ways that are unstoppable. Right now, today, that seems to be an impossibility. But it will come. Your hope and faith in Me will bring forth its reward. Wait for it. Hebrews 10:35-36 Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise.
August 1, 2020: When you focus on things you cannot do, you are likely to get discouraged. There are things that you can and should do at this time. Set yourself to do what you can to overcome darkness and live in the light of My grace. I am with you to ultimately bring you through to victory. Be strong and resolute. John 15:5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."
July 31, 2020: In a vision I saw someone on a raft trying to paddle upstream and doing so with great difficulty, and I heard the Lord say that this is the condition for those who are not in the flow of the Spirit. Living and moving in the Spirit always makes life easier. You would do well to be carried by the power of the Spirit of the Lord. Otherwise, you will have to work against significant resistance. 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!’
July 30, 2020: Come to Me and let us commune together in silence and sobriety. Take advantage of this time to draw near to Me and form a bond of unity so that we are of one mind and one heart. If you seek Me, you will find Me because I am not far from you. Accept the invitation and make the effort and you will be forever changed. Psalm 30:5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
July 29, 2020: Many of you expect to respond to life's circumstances and do things perfectly on the first try. Everybody makes mistakes. Trial and error produce understanding. Do not be ashamed of what you deemed a failure. You learned a valuable lesson that will make you a more productive human being. The learning process will be of more value to you than getting everything right the first time. Don't give up. Ask Me for the strength to endure. Psalm 84:6-7 As they pass through the Valley of Baca [weeping], they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
July 28, 2020: You have become weary in the present season and it seems as though things will never get better. But I tell you honestly that the current circumstances will not last forever. There is an end in sight. Take this time to establish a living, vital relationship with Me. Spiritual growth and understanding are the order of the day. Come into My presence. I will give you the strength to endure. 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 27, 2020: In a dream, I kept hearing the word codify, which means to arrange systematically according to a plan. I believe the Lord is telling us to place ourselves under divine order according to His plan and purpose for each of us. He is omnipotent, having unlimited power; omniscient, knowing all things; omnipresent, being everywhere at the same time. He is Almighty God, and we can trust Him to lead, guide, direct and protect us when we are completely submitted to Him. Psalm 100:3 Know that the Lord, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
July 26, 2020: The current environment seems to be untenable and out of control. However, as the external noise gets louder, the more you need to quiet your own soul and seek to be at peace. Determine to abide in the Spirit where the outside world cannot penetrate. You are safe and stable in My presence. 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.
July 25, 2020: Refuse to get absorbed into the flood of dissipation. It is beneficial for you to choose righteousness in every situation. You know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. When you live in unity with Me, your responses to life will be an extension of My will. Holiness is a beautiful thing. Hebrews 5:14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
July 24, 2020: I could hear the ticking of the clock--tick tock, tick tock--and I heard the Lord say: The passing of time is a fact of life. You cannot change it. You cannot go back to another time or skip ahead. Each moment has its own problems and pleasures. The only thing that can change is how you perceive it and what you do with it. You would do well to take it as it comes and live every minute in the power of the Holy Spirit and in union with Me. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
July 23, 2020: When things become too complicated, seek Me for wisdom. Things aren't as complex as they seem. The solution is often found in simplifying your process. I will lead you through this maze of uncertainty, but you need to trust Me to reveal what you need to understand. Quiet your soul and find your place of peace so that you can be spiritually aware. 1 Peter 3:11 Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
July 22, 2020: Beloved, it is My desire that you separate yourself from the works of the flesh and allow My Spirit to dwell in you richly. Become one with Me and be renewed and strengthened by the power of My presence. Choose the path of righteousness, peace and joy. Stand firmly on the rock of salvation. Galatians 5:19-23 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
July 21, 2020: In a visionary moment I could perceive the darkness of the world closing in so as to obliterate or choke out the light of God. I heard the instruction of the Lord that it is necessary to push back the darkness with our faith and the understanding of His word. It is imperative that we walk in the light of truth. To not walk in light is to slip into obscurity and gloom. We must set ourselves to watch and be vigilant to keep ourselves in the safety of His presence. 2 Corinthians 4:6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
July 20, 2020: The best is yet to come, but the worst is not over. It will get worse before it gets better. You must stay the course by finding your stability in Me and trusting that I will lead you through this valley of the shadow of death. The days are treacherous, but you will find a place of safety with Me. Psalm 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
July 19, 2020: Take care of the details of your personal life and do all that is necessary for you to stay connected to Me, and everything else will come into order. Many of you have concerned yourself with issues that you have no control over. You must release those worries to Me and be at peace in your soul. Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.
July 18, 2020: For everything there is a time and season. You have to keep in mind that My perfect timing is not necessarily your timing. Patient endurance is required to get through this season in divine order. Trying to force your agenda will not produce the effect you desire and could even prolong the agony of waiting. Rest assured that I will open the way of progression in due season. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
July 17, 2020: There has been an onslaught of wickedness released over the land, and the effect is overwhelming. This strange spiritual climate can be exhausting. Many of you have separated yourself from this evil with an invisible veil of protection. That covering has made it more difficult to see and discern spiritually. You have to press through the veil to see spiritually again, while finding your place of protection in Me. 2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
July 16, 2020: I want you to be in lockstep with Me. You cannot do that when you are harboring ill will against others. You must forgive in order to thrive spiritually, mentally, emotionally or physically. Let go of pride, anger, and vendettas. Love covers a multitude of sins. John 13:34 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
July 15, 2020: In a vision I saw the dawning of a new day. It was majestic and powerful. The presence of God was palpable. Every part of creation began to awaken in unison like the instruments of a huge orchestra playing the first note at the direction of the conductor. I could feel the hope of the day. It was pristine and like the canvas of a painter ready for the first stroke of the brush. And, God said, “This is indeed a new day spiritually with the potential for greatness. Use what I have given you to make it extraordinary. Seek Me for wisdom, and I will give you direction and guidance. Greatness comes in our partnership.” Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.
July 14, 2020: In this time it is imperative that you function according to My wisdom. It is the only way you can navigate through the challenges you face in these evil times. More than ever, you must walk in the Spirit and not allow your carnal nature to rule. Righteousness is an absolute prerequisite. Ephesians 5:15-16 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
July 13, 2020: Agitation is a weapon formed against you to get you off track, but you can bind the power of that weapon and maintain your peace if you will take the time to do so. Actively resist the temptations that come to express anger or impatience, and they will pass quickly. However, if you act on the irritation that you feel, it will lead to unpleasant consequences. As you continue to maintain self-control you will gain spiritual freedom, says the Lord. Matthew 16:19 "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
July 12, 2020: Do not fret about what the future may bring. You can't live there. Your life consists of the here and now, and you can only make choices in each moment that will affect the trend of your existence. You are a child of the light and not darkness. Be diligent and do good right now, and the harvest will come in due season. Ecclesiastes 11:4 He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap.
July 11, 2020: Set your forehead like flint and move through these times with determination to gain the victory in every situation. Refuse to become part of the flow of dissipation, but rather establish and maintain a standard of excellence both spiritually and naturally. Reach higher. Be stronger. Go further. The separation between righteous and unrighteous will continue to widen and become more pronounced. Choose the side of right and good. Isaiah 50:7 "For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore I will not be disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I will not be ashamed."
July 10, 2020: I have seen a recurring vision of someone climbing a steep, craggy mountain. It is a difficult climb and looks impossible to navigate, but the Lord said that He will make possible that which is impossible. Don't lose track of your hope and faith. Don't give up or lose heart! Luke 18:27 But He said, "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."
July 9, 2020: Do not let your guard down. Set your mind and heart to maintain self-control because risks will be greater than rewards. Stay alert and discern your environment and spiritual atmosphere. Your avenue of safety is staying close to Me and allowing Me to guide you through this minefield. Believe and trust. 2 Peter 1:6 [add] to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness...
July 8, 2020: Prepare to be challenged again in old places of testing where you fell short of the goal. You learned a few things last time, but there is still more to be done. The lessons you learn this time around will be of great benefit and will enhance your spiritual well-being and result in eternal victory. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
July 7, 2020: Though circumstances seem uncertain in some ways, you can find your stability in your faith in Me. I truly am with you. All you have to do is keep moving forward. Take the next step. Do the next thing. I will help you with every decision if you will rely on Me. Don't get stuck in apprehension. James 1:5-8 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
July 6, 2020: Instead of allowing your dismay of the behavior of others to bring you down in despair, let it become an incentive for you to become a better person. You always tend to judge others from your position of strength to their position of weakness, which is unrighteous and unholy. I admonish you to not judge others at all. Without relationship with Me, people are wounded and broken. Be an example of redemption. Luke 6:37 "Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."
July 5, 2020: The winds of change are blowing. For those who have made Me their first love, the changes will be positive and fruitful. But for others who have shaken their fists, the changes will only bring more difficulties and stress. Sowing and reaping is a spiritual law, which cannot be broken. What you give, whether good or bad, will come back to you multiplied. Hosea 8:7a "They sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind."
July 4, 2020: I have seen the whirlwind of activity around you and the dust the enemy has stirred up to bring confusion and cloud the issues. But, I have also seen your willingness and ability to stand firm in the face of turmoil and not be moved by the chaos around you. And, I say to you, well done! You have refused to release yourself to anger and debate, and you have taken a position of trust and obedience to My word. Clarity will come just as surely as the sun burns through the morning fog. Rejoice! For the victory is sweet. 1 Corinthians 16:13 Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.
July 3, 2020: Let this time be one of forgiveness and reconciliation. You fight and quarrel while you display a haughty spirit. Be done with hatred, strife and contention. How can you live in My Spirit and come against those I love? You must exercise your senses to discern good and evil and to always choose what is good and right. Doing evil will stain your soul. Repent and let Me cleanse you and make you whole again. 1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
July 2, 2020: There are some things that you need to settle in your own heart. Otherwise, they will become issues that cause dread and worry, which will keep you from relationship with Me. Remember that I know the beginning from the end of all things, and your worry will not change a thing. Keep yourself in the Spirit and in peace. Matthew 6:25-27 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?"
July 1, 2020: Stay calm and keep your wits about you when everything around you seems to be unstable and uncertain. Do not forget that I am the place of safety that you can run to--a place where you can access direction, guidance and wisdom. I will surround you with a hedge of protection and keep you as the apple of My eye. Psalm 17:8-9 Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me under the shadow of Your wings, from the wicked who oppress me, from my deadly enemies who surround me.
June 30, 2020: Beloved I would have you connect again to your spiritual foundation. I am calling you back to your eternal purpose and a life of simplicity and purity of heart. Walk in the liberty and complete freedom that comes with living in the Spirit so that you do not succumb to the lure of darkness. Maintain a strong and vital connection with divine purpose. 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 29, 2020: Many have grown weary of being isolated in an effort to keep yourself and others safe in the pandemic. Yes, I know of this pandemic, and it is good for you to keep yourself in a place of safety until it has passed. Consider that even though you feel lonely, you are not alone. I am with you. Take this time to draw closer to Me and feel My love for you. I am with you to guide you through trials and troubles. 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.
June 28, 2020: To those who are struggling to survive in spite of danger or hardship, it is good to do what it takes to make it through. However, I want to cause you to thrive instead of just survive. Thriving begins with your thoughts, intentions and faith. If you set your will and believe, I will show you the way to thrive spiritually and naturally. You will grow, develop, advance and succeed as you follow My lead. 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
June 27, 2020: In times like these when so much seems to be more wrong than right, you will have to take your victory laps where you find them. Encourage yourself often, even in the little things, and do your best to rise above your carnal nature to walk in the Spirit and stay close to Me. Philippians 2:14-16 Do all things without complaining and disputing, that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.
June 26, 2020: Refuse to allow your thoughts to become the garbage dump of your soul. Set your sights higher so that your thoughts reflect spiritual truth and things that are good and not evil. You do not have to go down the path of destruction. When you change your mind, you change your path. Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
June 25, 2020: Be humble and avoid conflict. Refuse to allow a haughty spirit to cause you to act or respond inappropriately. Pride will only escalate the problem and create more trouble. These are times when a soft answer will turn away wrath. Exercise self-control and show respect to those around you, says the Lord, and I will undertake on your behalf. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.
June 24, 2020: You must put forth the effort to change your perspective. You have to look beyond the thoughts and opinions of others to gain spiritual insight. Do not take what you see and hear as gospel. Rather seek to know My heart and to hear My voice. I will not lead you astray. I will rescue you from deceit and establish you in truth. Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
June 23, 2020: I speak to those who are overwhelmed emotionally, mentally or physically. Take the time to settle down in the peace and safety of My presence. Make the truth of My Word your standard and live in the strength and assurance that I never change. I know you and understand your plight, but you need to know that this too shall pass. Move your perspective from the temporary to the eternal. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
June 22, 2020: Do not underestimate the power of your will. It is an impenetrable wall. It is the driving force on the way to accomplishment. It is vital to your spiritual growth. You have to want to have relationship with Me and to live and walk in the Spirit. You have to want to resist evil and to choose good. Use your will to the benefit of yourself and others. Set your will to be completely united with Me. Job 23:12 I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
June 21, 2020: In a vision I saw a solid foundation that was laid in Christ. The religious structure built on that foundation lay in ruins, but the foundation remained strong and ready to be built upon again. And, this time it will not be according to the dictates of men and religion, but by the Spirit of God. The mystery is found in hope and the promise of a new beginning that surpasses every other beginning. The expectation of His purposes in our lives will be fulfilled. The power of His cleansing fire will usher in this new life and light. 1 Corinthians 3:11-14 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.
June 20, 2020: Attune your spirit to My Spirit in order to receive the
inspiration that will answer questions and solve problems. You will begin
to see beyond the darkness and frustration in your quest to live according to My
will and purposes. This is a place beyond flesh and the natural order of
things. You will discover ways to make necessary adjustments in your
perception and responses to your environment, which will result in greater
spiritual freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit;
and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
June 19, 2020: You are longing for your life to be normal again and to get back to that which is predictable and comfortable. But, you cannot recover life as it used to be. I tell you honestly that things will never be the same. This is not a time to look back; it is a time to look forward. Many of the adjustments you have made to accommodate an unusual season will become your new normal. Lean on Me and trust Me to give you the wisdom and strength to advance in a new environment. 2 Peter 3:14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.
June 18, 2020: My eyes are not dark that they cannot see, nor My ears dull that they cannot hear. I see, hear, and know your struggles. I am your source of help and strength in times of trouble. I will lift you up and provide the strength you need to prevail. Refuse to give in to the temptation to dump down in discouragement. Exercise your faith in Me. Hebrews 12:12-13 Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
June 17, 2020: You are in between what has been and what will be. It is important to understand that you are in transition. Be good to yourself, be safe, and move through this transition with the grace that I provide. Don't be rash or get ahead of the curve. This time will require extraordinary patience, but you can do this! 2 Thessalonians 3:5 Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.
June 16, 2020: Many of you, My people, are feeling unloved and rejected. Allow My love to surround, permeate, and lift you up. I love and care for you above and beyond what you can understand; it is a love that is eternal. Let love be perfected in you and pour out of you towards one another. Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
June 15, 2020: Don't be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes. Use those times to be humble and to learn something about your methods. Take those opportunities to do your best without demanding perfection, which could lead to self-deprecation. Many times your "mistakes" can lead you to a spiritual truth you would otherwise have overlooked. Psalm 25:9 The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way.
June 14, 2020: You cannot go wrong when you always choose what is right and good. There are many differing opinions and options to choose from in a divided culture. But those who belong to Me can side with spiritual truth and access My wisdom by faith. Allow Me to fill your heart with love as I lead, guide and direct your steps. Hosea 14:9 Who is wise? Let him understand these things. Who is prudent? Let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
June 13, 2020: Do not fret about things you have no control over. Worry doesn't help anything. You need to be convinced that when you come to Me, I will steer you in the right direction and keep you safe. Release troubling things to Me and be assured that I hear you. Rise above the fray and find your place of peace in Me. Psalm 37:7-8 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret—it only causes harm.
June 12, 2020: Beloved, you must move beyond your myopic vision to see beyond your lack of imagination and insight. The current world view has become dark and in many cases hopeless, but you must not forget that you belong to Me. I am your ray of sunshine, your port in the storm, and your hope when despair overrides optimism. Look to Me. Look up and see that I have not forsaken you. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
June 11, 2020: You will overcome the obstacles that you have recently encountered. It has been a struggle, but you have fought the good fight, and victory is assured. Stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize. The destination will be worth the journey. Refuse to get discouraged! 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
June 10, 2020: Set yourself to be an example of good and not evil. Demonstrate My righteousness. Clearly show the existence of the truth of My word by the way you live and what you speak. The world is full of religious people who are Christians in name only, but their words and deeds betray them. This ought not be so. Matthew 23:27 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness."
June 9, 2020: Too many voices! There are too many voices that will take you off course and encourage you to live carnally instead of living in the Spirit. Shut out unholy conversation and be quiet. It is vital that you are only moved by the leading of My Spirit. The enemy is seeking to demoralize you and remove you from your place of safety in Me. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
June 8, 2020: In a dream I was preaching with sincerity and passion, but when I looked out at the congregation they had all moved to the back rows of the sanctuary. Some were sleeping and actually snoring and others were yawning and still others were slumped down in the pew. There was no spiritual life at all. As I was waking up I asked the Lord what this meant, and He said, "My people have grown fat and dull after being spoon-fed the truth of My word. And, now in the pandemic, they have a rare and valuable opportunity to seek Me in earnest. Yet, precious few have actually sought My face and entered My presence." Matthew 13:15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.
June 7, 2020: I have set a standard of righteousness and justice through My word. Measure yourself, your responses to life's circumstances, and your behavior to see if you attain to that standard. You must not compromise truth. I have shown you what is good. What I require of you is to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk in humility. Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
June 6, 2020: As I sat before the Lord, I began to hear these old song lyrics: "You've got to accentuate the positive; Eliminate the negative; Latch on to the affirmative; Don't mess with Mister In-Between." We are being encouraged to make adjustments in outlook and perspective. This is the stuff that faith in God is made of. 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 [weeping], they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
June 5, 2020: You are in need of strength and resilience, and both are available to you by the Spirit. Make sure that you are willing to be righteous in heart, mind and soul, then ask to be filled with My Spirit. He will come into you and cause you to thrive. When you live in truth and holiness, you will prosper. Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
June 4, 2020: I honor your dedication to worship and pray. Be sure to spend time with Me. Not only will you stay connected and feel better, but I will reward you in ways you could not have imagined. I will pour out My anointing on those who are faithful to seek My face. 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."
June 3, 2020: You must find rest and peace in My presence. It is the only place of peace that is acquired beyond your thoughts and feelings. It is the peace that comes with divine perception and spiritual truth where goodness is found. But you need to come. Refuse to live in turmoil and confusion and seek Me with all your heart. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
June 2, 2020: Refuse to allow the darkness of this world to engulf you. Rather, allow My light to envelop you and bring life and strength. Spiritual truth has not been shaken or adjusted by human tragedy. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. You live in a world of good and evil. You get to choose which one will define you. John 12:46 "I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness."
June 1, 2020: Maintain a steady pace as you push through difficult circumstances. Slow and steady. Slow and steady. Before you know it the hardship you have endured will be behind you, and hope will spring forth and carry you into the next phase of existence. Keep your faith strong as you believe that I am with you in all things and that I will never forsake you. Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
May 31, 2020: In a vision I saw a dancer in an open meadow. The dance was one of rejoicing in the presence of the Lord and of thanksgiving for life and light. The dancer had both light and life because of living in God's purposes and was, therefore, blessed in everything. He recognized that he was nothing, he did nothing, he knew nothing, and had nothing apart from the presence and power of the Spirit. And because of his gratitude and rejoicing, he had positioned himself for greater blessings and a closer relationship with the Lord. 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, 2020: The darkness of the world is trying to choke out or obliterate the light of God. Push back! Push back the darkness by your faith. Stand firm on the truth of the word. This time, more than ever, you must walk in the light and allow divine character and nature to manifest in, around, and through you. 1 John 1:6-7 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
May 29, 2020: Only a fool would become complacent in the midst of danger. Stay alert and be watchful. Refuse to allow yourself to be overly confident or self-assured. Humility is a good look for you. This is a time to hide and watch. The enemy is seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
May 28, 2020: In these times, you must find places of joy and contentment in the small things that you enjoy. Refuse to allow fear and trepidation to overtake you and quench your peace. Allow Me to fill you with the sweetness of My Spirit as you navigate your current circumstances. My grace is sufficient. 2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
May 27, 2020: I would have you take My commandments seriously; they are not just suggestions. The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind. And the second is to love your fellow man as yourself, regardless of political persuasion, nationality or religion. Hatred abounds. Make sure that you are not among those who refuse to obey the rules that I have set before you. Mark 12:30-31 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
May 26, 2020: To those of you who have been reminded of relationships from the past that ended in conflict. It is time to let go of all bitterness and forgive everyone who has disparaged or cursed you. Whatever you do not release will anchor you to the past and keep you from living in freedom. Forgiveness will produce liberty. 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.
May 25, 2020: Exercise diligence in assessing risk versus reward. Make your plans with careful consideration, and seek Me for wisdom in moving into the next phase of your life. Trust Me to guide you on the path that I have chosen. I will go before you to prepare the way. Isaiah 42:16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.
May 24, 2020: Rise up to the level of worship that will usher you into My presence. It is a place of worship in and through the Spirit, and is not found in the self-effort of flesh. It does not come from performance or of seeking perfection. It is the unbridled flow of holy adoration. Psalms 29:2 Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
May 23, 2020: Draw near to Me like never before. The storm has not yet passed and there is still more to come. But to those who will allow it, I will gather you as a hen gathers her brood and keep you safe under My wings. I will be your shelter in the storm. Psalm 36:7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.
May 22, 2020: Stay cautious and be careful. You are not out of the proverbial woods yet, but you are making progress. Refuse to succumb to emotional breakdowns. Stay strong and do not be moved by difficulties. Only be moved by My Spirit and not by your carnal nature. Ask for wisdom, and I will give it liberally. Live in peace and love. Ephesians 6:23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
May 21, 2020: I understand your being overwhelmed and feeling out-of-pocket. If you will quiet your mind and emotions and come to Me, I will give you peace and show you how to simplify your situation. You must not fret about things that you have no control over, and take action where you do have authority and responsibility. Silence your flesh. Zechariah 2:13 "Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"
May 20, 2020: Take every opportunity to recuperate and rejuvenate. Recover from the stress of recent circumstances, and use whatever time it takes to stabilize. Establish yourself in My presence where you can find peace and be reassured of My power in your life. I am with you! Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
May 19, 2020: You are worried about things that you can do nothing about. Give them to Me and trust that I will perfect those things that concern you. I am not a figment of your imagination. I exist. I know you and know all about you. Come to Me and bring that which you cannot do on your own, and leave it to Me in faith, says the Lord. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
May 18, 2020: You are capable of doing extraordinary things regardless of the restrictions you have to deal with. Do not become a victim of circumstances or external conditions. You are still you, and I never change. With My help you can accomplish all that I have set before you. And, I will show you the possibilities available to you. Stay close. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
May 17, 2020: Remind yourself of who I am and who you are in Me. You have been spiritually fueled by My Spirit and there is no limit to what I can and will do. But sometimes you neglect being filled again and try to run on the fumes or memories of a past infilling. Right now, today, seek to be filled with the Spirit to overflowing again, and receive a fresh anointing that will invigorate you and give you new desire to live and walk in the Spirit. Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
May 16, 2020: Settle down and put first things first. Evaluate priorities and make sure that what you value the most is at the top of your list. When calamity presents itself you develop a unique perspective, and what you have taken for granted becomes a priority. Know that your relationship with Me is paramount. Take care of and also revitalize important personal relationships that you have neglected. This is a prime time for restoration and rejuvenation. Psalm 103:2-5 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
May 15, 2020: These are days of silence when you have nothing to say because you are in shock and awe of conditions in the world. You have mixed feelings of fear and wonder. But you have never had better opportunities to search for Me and find Me. Reach out to Me and I will reach back and connect with you. You are not faceless or nameless to Me. I know you and love you, and I will reveal Myself to you in ways you did not think were possible. Seek and find. Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
May 14, 2020: Refuse to believe the enemy's lies that I do not care about you and have forsaken you. I love you with a love that goes beyond natural understanding, and I will give you the strength and determination to get through this difficult time. I am with you! 1 Samuel 12:22 "For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people."
May 13, 2020: Have you forgotten who you are? I speak to those who are experiencing an identity crisis. I would remind you of who you are in Me. You are chosen by Me, saved by grace, empowered by My Spirit. You are not a victim. You are victorious as you abide in Me, and you need to adjust your outlook so that you can live up to your position. 1 Chronicles 29:11 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all.
May 12, 2020: Life as you know it has been upended in many ways, which has caused a certain level of disorientation. Do whatever it takes to stay alive spiritually and not allow stagnation. Even though natural conditions can take a toll on your sense of well-being, what you are going through here and now is temporary and will not last. Set your heart and mind on the unseen things of eternity. 2 Corinthians 4:18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
May 11, 2020: Take this time to retreat, regroup, and reevaluate your life to see where you are and where you are headed. Make sure your ultimate goal is life in the Spirit and fulfilling your purpose in My kingdom. Strive to be one with Me in agreement with all that is right and good in thought, word, and action. I want you to be My representative on earth in every situation and circumstance. Ephesians 4:1-6 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
May 10, 2020: You are still in the process of change, and you must continue on with the faith that you are on your way to destiny. The things that you have learned in this process will last a lifetime. You will never forget where you have come from or all that has been accomplished supernaturally to prove My love and care for you. Ephesians 5:15-17 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
May 9, 2020: When you find yourself in a dilemma, remember that you can ask and I will impart the wisdom you need to proceed. Never doubt My ability and willingness to reveal things you don't understand and to show you the way. Put your trust in Me and wait for 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.
May 8, 2020: To those who worship Me from the heart, I tell you that I hear you and know you because we are bound together. I will never leave you nor forsake you. You are the heart and soul of the Body of Christ. You are the essence of childlike purity, and a very special anointing is released on you. John 4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."
May 7, 2020: As you begin to settle into a new normal, don't forget to make life in the Spirit a priority. Set aside time to feed your spirit with My word and to access My presence. Strengthen yourself in the knowledge of good and evil so that you always choose good. If your desire is to get closer to Me in relationship, that desire will be fulfilled. Deuteronomy 4:29 "But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul."
May 6, 2020: Do not be afraid! I am not the author of fear. Instead of giving in to fear, trust Me to give you wisdom and to lead you to safety. Quiet your emotions and stand strong in the Spirit. Refuse to allow your thoughts to work against your faith. 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 5, 2020: Make a conscious decision to shift your primary focus from your circumstances to possibilities and hope in the Spirit. Regain spiritual perspective by filling yourself with the truth of My word. This may be the end of an era, but it is also the beginning of things and times that are yet to be realized. Psalm 42:5 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance.
May 4, 2020: In a vision I saw a mime artist acting out a story. I
heard the Lord say, “I want you to demonstrate truth and spiritual reality.
To do this you may have to keep your mouth shut and show through your
actions what others need to see to understand.
There are too many mouths and not enough demonstrators.
Let Me do My word through you.”
May 3, 2020: You have not been this way before, and it is easy to feel disoriented, lost and alone. But this can also be a time of spiritual discovery and of greater understanding of yourself in the process. It is a matter of where you focus your attention. You will either break through into new or renewed relationship with Me, or you will begin to stagnate. You must choose. Psalm 31:3 For You are my rock and my fortress; therefore, for Your name’s sake, lead me and guide me.
May 2, 2020: Reach higher in the Spirit to know more intimately the truth of My calling and purpose for you. You cannot be satisfied with what you have known in the past. You must go up. Consider the Potter’s House where the vessel was marred and had to made again into another vessel—one more perfect, one stronger, one more useful. Allow Me to transform you. Jeremiah 18:3-4 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.
May 1, 2020: When everything seems to have been upended, you will only find clarity through My Spirit. Rise above fear and uncertainty to live in faith and the reliability of My presence. I will empower you and strengthen you to be victorious. Quiet your emotions and seek the peace that comes with walking in the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23b But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
April 30, 2020: You have learned some things that will serve you for the rest of your days. And you have been given many opportunities to grow spiritually, for which you will forever be grateful. But now you are on the verge of breakthrough in a number of ways. You will move forth with a greater sense of gentleness. James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
April 29, 2020: I speak to the many who have hardened your heart in the effort of self-protection. Soften your heart and look with compassion on others who are struggling. Listen for My still, small voice as I show you how to help those less fortunate. Deliberately develop a heart of love and empathy. Hebrews 13:16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
April 28, 2020: Never think or believe that I have forgotten you, says the Lord. You are of great value to Me. You belong to Me. I have not shut My eyes so that I do not see you, nor have I closed my ears to your cries. Rise up in faith and renew yourself in the truth of My love for you. Luke 12:6-7 "Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
April 27, 2020: Take this time to reflect on where you have been and how you have responded to your circumstances. Let go of the past and return to Me so that you can be revived and renewed. I will restore you and send healing to your body, mind and spirit, says the Lord. Isaiah 40:10 Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.
April 26, 2020: Remember the commandment to love one another. In order to do this you have to see others as equals. If you are to be numbered among those who love Me, you must be done with justifying hatred and prejudice. Let Me reveal your areas of pride and superiority so that you can fulfill My desires and your destiny, says the Lord. Mathew 22:37-39 Jesus said to him, "‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’"
April 25, 2020: One day at a time; one step at a time. Stay present with Me and maintain an eternal perspective. Every thought you think, every word your speak, everything you do either molds you into My image or moves you away from Me, says the Lord. Set yourself to be consciously aware of your spiritual condition at all times. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
April 24, 2020: There has been a great divergence among Christians. Many of you began with great zeal, but in the progression of time you have only managed to maintain religious attitudes and have lost your first love. I am calling you back to a place of genuine desire to be one with Me, says the Lord. You must settle this issue in the depths of your soul and deliberately re-establish divine connection. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
April 23, 2020: In a vision I saw a tortoise with its head retracted into the shell. And, I heard the Lord admonishing us to stay safe and to remember that ultimately He is our help and our safe haven in times of trouble. We must stay in touch with Him and trust Him to surround us with a hedge of protection. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
April 22, 2020: You are being moved day by day to a new place in the realm of the Spirit. I have been calling you to come higher, but you were distracted by life issues and world values. Now is the time when you can set your mind and heart on heavenly things and come into true unity with Me, says the Lord. Luke 10:40-42 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
April 21, 2020: With fewer distractions, you can be far more efficient in accomplishing what you have to do. You will be able to give more thought and consideration to the things that really matter. Do not waste time on disappointment and discouragement. Encourage yourself in the knowledge that this time can produce unexpected and excellent results. Psalm 16:3 As for the saints who are on the earth, "They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight."
April 20, 2020: You will have prime opportunities to bring encouragement to those around you. Woe to those who denigrate and disparage others. Remember the golden rule to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The law of sowing and reaping cannot be avoided or overridden. Encourage and you will be encouraged. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
April 19, 2020: Life as you knew it has changed forever, but the changes that you have made were absolutely necessary for all involved. You are living your life within parameters that will become a new normal for you and will provide a level of safety that you never considered. Allow the anointing of My Spirit to envelop you and guide you in all your ways, says the Lord. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
April 18, 2020: Do not despair for I am opening alternative doors for you to accomplish all that I have set you to be and to do. What you presumed your path to be has taken a turn that you could not have foreseen. But, I am still with you, says the Lord, and I will guide you so that you will not miss one step of My perfect will for you. Rest in that assurance. Psalm 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.
April 17, 2020: There is a wave of condemnation sweeping through mankind. It is an attack from the enemy to establish a sense of failure and self-loathing. Listen to Me! I love and value every human being, and I am reaching out to you with the truth of your worth, says the Lord. Do not believe the lies that will bring discouragement and depression. 1 Peter 5:10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.
April 16, 2020: In a vision I saw a huge mud bog that reminded me of quicksand. I saw a mud-caked arm come out of the mud and reach up. Then, a hand came down from heaven and took hold of the muddy hand and lifted the man out of the mud. He lay there as though dying, but the sun came out and dried the mud, which began to crack and fall away. Breath and new life began to flow through him, and he stood on his feet restored, refreshed, and renewed. It was a new beginning with new opportunities to live. Hosea 14:7 Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall be revived like grain, and grow like a vine. Their scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
April 15, 2020: Position yourself in the flow of the Spirit and allow Me to guide you through the current maze to reach your divine destination. Regardless of fear and feelings of despair, I will lift you up and set you in a high place above the fray. Trust Me, 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.
April 14, 2020: Many of My people are in the slump of stagnation. Refuse to allow this to become your new normal, but rather stir yourself up to reach higher spiritually and resolve to live and walk in My Spirit, says the Lord. This could become one of the most significant opportunities in your life to seek and find 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."
April 13, 2020: In a vision I saw souls sleeping in the sorrow of life's tragedies. They were in anguish. And I was aware of the Spirit of the Lord calling to their spirits to awaken out of hopelessness and distress to seek His life and light. It was difficult for them to let go of what they deemed to be real and true because they did not see their lives and difficulties as being transitory. We must awaken to spiritual life that cannot be touched by our circumstances. 2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
April 12, 2020: Receive My blessings, resurrection life, and the power to rise up and move beyond your crisis. Leave the past behind in this time of new beginnings. Go forth with renewed strength and hope. Let Me empower you and impart a new and fresh perspective of divine purpose, says the Lord. Psalm 30:5b Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
April 11, 2020: I see and know that many of you have grown weary as you go through difficult times. It has become even more important for you to come closer to Me, says the Lord. Do your best to stay in My light and life where you can be encouraged and strengthened. You are not standing alone; I am with you. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
April 10, 2020: Beloved, I would have you develop ears to hear and eyes to see spiritually. In order to do this, you must transcend the flesh and worldly views that keep you earthbound. Set your heart on living and walking in the Spirit so that you are constantly connected to 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 [weeping], they make it a spring; the rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
April 9, 2020: When you feel isolated and alone, remember that you are not alone. I am with you to comfort and protect you. I will give you strength and fortitude to do all that is necessary. I will lead, guide, direct and protect you. You are the apple of My eye, says the Lord. Psalm 91:3-6 Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
April 8, 2020: In a vision I saw someone in a large open space waiting for
atmospheric conditions to produce an updraft.
The individual had a kite and kept testing the wind to see if the air
quality was right to launch the kite.
I believe this vision represents us rising up in the realm of the Spirit
to get instructions for the right timing in certain life experiences.
We must deliberately and continually test our discernment to see if we
are in sync with the Spirit or not.
April 7, 2020: I am calling to you to search for Me and find Me. I am your hope in hopeless situations. I am your very present help in trouble. It is high time that you set your sights and values on things eternal. This must be a deliberate change in focus and attitude. You can trust Me, says the Lord. Romans 13:11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
April 6, 2020: You have been given a prime opportunity to grow and mature in your personal relationship with Me. In the past many of you have tried to have that relationship through your pastor, priest, or preacher. Use this time to seek Me for yourself and grow into the glorious saint you were created to be, says the Lord. Hebrews 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
April 5, 2020: I speak to nations of people who have become self-focused and concerned about their own needs and desires. I would have you deliberately rise above selfishness to develop kindness and generosity. Remember that reward always exceeds sacrifice, says the Lord. Help where you can without jeopardizing your health and that of others. You will not regret becoming a giver. 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."
April 4, 2020: In a vision I saw a single, straight and narrow path that was illuminated and seemed to be elevated above the ground. And I heard the word of the Lord: You are called to walk this path of illumination that is beyond and above earthly life. I am with you on this supernatural journey to direct your every step. Do not be afraid. Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
April 3, 2020: I am your strength and your shield, says the Lord. When weakness threatens you must find your place of refuge in Me and stand strong. Possess and maintain an attitude of faith and resilience. I have called you, My people, to be overcomers even in the most dire circumstances. John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
April 2, 2020: Beloved, discouragement is your enemy; it will kill faith. Refuse to obsess about life's conditions that make you afraid or cause despair. I would have you develop a more personal, intimate and vital relationship with Me, says the Lord. Stay present with Me. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I do not change, nor has My power diminished. Trust Me. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
April 1, 2020: I am reminded of Elijah when he was on the run from Jezebel who wanted to kill him. He was in a cave where God spoke to him. We also are in a cave of sorts, separated from other people, where God can and will speak to us. We must have a heart to seek and ears to hear Him so that He can direct us in the days ahead. 1 Kings 19:9-12 And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?" So he said, "I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life." Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.
March 31, 2020: I speak to those who are feeling vulnerable. You are not lost. I know where you are, and I am your safe harbor. I am your shelter in the storm. Your hope in Me will anchor your soul, says the Lord. Settle yourself in the safety of My presence. Do not be afraid. Hebrews 6:19a This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.
March 30, 2020: Strive to find a place of peace where you can get closer to Me than you ever have. It is My desire that you use this time to develop spiritual intimacy that will result in greater strength, purpose, and safety. You can achieve higher levels of understanding and wisdom than you have ever known, says the Lord. Matthew 6:6 "But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
March 29, 2020: My word is a great leveler. It will bring clarity to every issue and comfort to every heart. Refuse the temptation to overreact to your current circumstances. Take your position and stand firm on the word of truth, says the Lord. Refuse to allow fear to take you off course. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
March 28: Maintain clear perspective, and refuse to allow interim disturbances to dissuade you from strong and abiding faith. Look beyond these short-term difficulties by not giving them more power or significance than they deserve. I tell you truly that this too shall pass, says the Lord. Step back from your focus on trouble to see the larger picture of blessings and victory. 1 Corinthians 15:57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
March 27, 2020: Set your mind on things that encourage you. There are plenty of things that could not only discourage but devastate you if that is all you can think about. It is up to you as to how you view your life and circumstances. Strive to have a positive experience where you can perceive My presence, power and glory, says the Lord. Place your hope in Me. Psalm 31:24 Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.
March 26, 2020: Do not listen to the words of condemnation from the enemy. He is a liar and the father of lies. He wants to take you down and make you feel bad about yourself. Listen to Me, says the Lord. I want to lift you up and help you stand in light and truth. I want you to know My love and care for you as well as the power of forgiveness. Rise above the darkness and take your position in the light. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
March 25, 2020: I see the despair on the earth, but you must not forget that I am your God. I see and know all things. I will help you through these desperate times, and I have sent angels among My people to bring comfort. Look to Me for help when you feel helpless and insecure. I am your solid rock on which to stand, says the Lord. Psalms 91:11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
March 24, 2020: Take your time in being thorough. Thoughtful diligence will bring good results, says the Lord. These are days to deliberately seek My face in order to receive divine instruction. I will give you the knowledge necessary to make good judgments. Be strong and unwavering. Proverbs 4:13 Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; keep her, for she is your life.
March 23, 2020: Keep in the forefront of your mind the things that really matter as you navigate through this time of threatening danger. Exercise your faith in Me to give you the wisdom and guidance necessary to bring you through safely, says the Lord. Be strong and unwavering. 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.
March 22: You cannot stay in the flow of My Spirit and still obsess about your own perfection or lack of perfection. Your self-focus will keep you tied to flesh and will prevent your spiritual progression. Now is a time when you can exchange the temporary for the eternal, which is necessary to your well-being. Let go of everything that keeps you tied to worldly concerns, says the Lord. Matthew 16:26 "For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?"
March 20, 2020: Come into the secret place where you can connect with Me spiritually. Take every opportunity to seek in earnest. Rise above your carnal nature and find the holy place where you can enter My presence and hear My voice, says the Lord. Set your heart and mind to seek and find. Psalms 91:1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
March 19, 2020: Beloved, regardless of the chaotic atmosphere, you can maintain the peace that is beyond reaction to circumstances. Come into My presence where you can be assured that you are loved and protected. Quiet your soul and allow yourself to be soothed supernaturally, says the Lord. Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
March 18, 2020: Your place of safety is in My presence. Set your heart and mind on things spiritual, and refuse to dump down in fear and self-pity. I am your help and your hope, says the Lord. Stay close and do not deviate from the truth of My word. Psalm 91:7-11 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.
March 17, 2020: I will give you the grace necessary to successfully deal with the circumstances you are facing. I am not a God who withholds goodness and mercy. I will strengthen you and establish you in peace, says the Lord. Do not be afraid. Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
March 16, 2020: You have issues that are yet to be resolved, and it seems like an impossible task to access resolution. Do not lose hope or patience. The time will come when you can move forward with ease, but that time is not now. There are things you need to learn in this process that will establish a platform of strength and stability. I will lead you through this process if you will allow it, says the Lord. Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
March 15: These days will require strength and focus for you to make it through successfully. And, when things become difficult you must resist the temptation to give in to stress. Be calm and lean on Me for all that you need. I am with you and for you, says the Lord. Do not despair. 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—
March 13, 2020: Come to Me when you are tired and weary. Come to Me when you need wisdom and direction. Come to Me when you need love and comfort. I am here for you, and I will help you take the next step, says the Lord. Do not be afraid. Simply come. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
March 12, 2020: Your transition has been difficult in many ways, but you should be aware of the promises that exist for the days ahead. Seek Me for ways to move forward with new strength and hope, says the Lord. Never forget that I will give you wisdom and guidance. I am your place of comfort. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."
March 11, 2020: When you are in the throes of change, it is important for you to evaluate and prioritize according to what you value. Those who are dedicated to knowing and serving Me you will draw nearer than ever before. But those who focus on things of the world will find the separation from Me to be even more pronounced. You must choose between walking in the Spirit or living in the flesh, says the Lord. The chasm is widening. Galatians 5:16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
March 10, 2020: Raise up a standard of righteous living, and endeavor to always become part of the solution instead of being part of the problem. You are My emissary in your place on the earth, and it is up to you to be a living example of My kingdom, says the Lord. Endeavor to live a godly life. Acts 24:16 ...I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.
March 9, 2020: Be deliberate in your evaluation of where you have been, where you are, and where you are going. You have a valuable opportunity to make necessary corrections that will ultimately lead you to a more genuine relationship with Me, says the Lord. Seek Me with all your heart and soul. Psalm 61:2 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.
March 8: When your forward momentum seems to have stalled, be still. Flailing around will only set you back. There is no need to worry that you have lost ground. This is just a "selah" moment to pause and reflect. You must allow what you have learned to become part of who you are before you push forward again, says the Lord. Psalm 32:7 You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah
March 6, 2020: This current spiritual wind is subtle yet strong. It will usher in a season of supernatural clarity and strength that is beyond human understanding. I am preparing you to walk and live in My Spirit more consistently, so that you are no longer like a pogo stick of ups and downs. It is My will for you to be steady and have the kind of faith that is unwavering, says the Lord. Romans 4:20-21 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
March 5, 2020: Be assured that I am with you and directing your steps. You cannot see with certainty the outcome of the decisions you have made, but you must move forward without regret. I have asked you to let go so that I can take you higher spiritually. Do not try to stay in places that are familiar and comfortable. You can't stay and go at the same time, says the Lord. 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.
March 4, 2020: In these unsettling times you must find your place of peace in Me, says the Lord. Take care that you do not presume or make assumptions about the future. Stay present with Me and let Me lead you through this darkness and uncertainty. Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
March 3, 2020: There will be changes in your rhythm of life, so you must make your relationship with Me the most important tempo that you hear and follow. It is time for you to anchor your soul to My Spirit and move with the cadence of truth and peace, says the Lord. This will be a time of rapid spiritual growth if that is your heart's desire. John 3:8 "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
March 2, 2020: I heard the Lord ask, “What do you see?” I answered that I could see or sense invisible movement. And, He began to show me that He was moving us into greater spiritual awareness. I could sense the power as He touched places of hardness, religious places, places that needed to be revealed before they could be healed. There was an uncovering of things hidden or concealed. Mark 4:22 "For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light."
March 1: Position yourself for correction. You have done things that haven't been right, but that can still be fixed. This is a time to take advantage of every opportunity to put the things in order that are brought to your attention, says the Lord. This will ultimately give you the freedom to move forward with a clear conscience. Revelation 3:19 "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent."
February 28, 2020: Take a break and separate yourself from the things that cause fear or worry. Think about things that bring hope and bolster your faith, says the Lord. In this way you will access strength and better health. Learn to live in the moment as you stay present with Me. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
February 27, 2020: I call you forth to demonstrate My character and nature in all interactions with others. This will take forethought and self-control, but it is the only way that you can be My representative on the earth, says the Lord. You can accomplish what I have set before you through the Holy Spirit abiding in you and in no other way. 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 26, 2020: Many of you are still in a time of fluctuation as you deal with difficult circumstances. And you long for predictable and pleasant days. You cannot do anything about external situations that bring anxiety and discontent, but you can do something about your internal condition. You must find that place of unity with Me where you can rest in tranquility, says the Lord. Psalm 4:8 I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
February 25, 2020: It is My desire that you maintain peace regardless of the turbulence around you. Take one day at a time and focus on things eternal instead of things that are temporary. Be strong and unwavering in your commitment and faith in My kingdom, says the Lord. I am with you. Romans 4:20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God.
February 24, 2020: In a dream I kept going back to my childhood home only to find it vacated and desolate, and it troubled me. When I awoke I heard this: "Even though there is no going back, you can build on the foundation of things that made you strong. I am the Rock from which you were hewn. I am your refuge and high tower." Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
February 23: Your feelings of being displaced are hard to shake, but as soon as you come into divine order and get in the flow of My Spirit, you will feel right at home. Refuse to allow lingering regrets and condemnation to plunge you into darkness. As soon as you leave the past behind and move forward, you will see that you are all right, says the Lord. Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
February 21, 2020: Leave your disappointments behind and set your heart and mind on higher things. Begin to recount your blessings and be thankful. Everybody makes mistakes, but you cannot allow negative feelings and regrets to define you. Rather be defined by your relationship with Me and the things I have done for you, says the Lord. Rise above the darkness and live in the light of My love. Colossians 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
February 20, 2020: Beloved, your life has been characterized by what seems like a low tide. However, the metaphorical tide has changed direction and the water is beginning to rise. You are entering a season of favor and change, says the Lord. Stay flexible and roll with the ever-moving tide of the Spirit. Stay close. Deuteronomy 8:7 "For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills."
February 19, 2020: Seek Me for wisdom to live in the moment. You cannot live in the past nor speculate with precision about the future. You will either be overcome with regret or live in a fantasy about what is coming. Your optimal position is to do your best to stay present and connected spiritually with Me, says the Lord. Do not worry! Proverbs 2:10-11 When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you.
February 18, 2020: Many of you are overwhelmed with life's circumstances, and stress has overtaken you. Do not be afraid. I will lead you to a high place in the spirit where you can see yourself more objectively and make the necessary adjustments to fulfill divine destiny. Be willing to let go of those things that create needless tension, 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.
February 17, 2020: God showed me a man who left his city, crossed a desert and began to climb a high mountain. I believe that choosing to live in the Spirit will require putting our natural affinities behind and enduring the seeming dryness of separation before finding life in the Spirit. The mountain represents the Kingdom of God. It is a journey that we all must make. Isaiah 2:2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
February 16, 2020: In a vision I saw someone looking through a magnifying glass, and I realized that it represented a position of focus without peripheral distractions. And, I heard the Lord say, "I want you to focus on things of importance without being distracted by things that the enemy will use to divide and conquer. Your eternal perspective is vital to a successful outcome in your current situation." Proverbs 4:27 Do not turn to the right or the left; remove your foot from evil.
February 14, 2020: In this time of transition it is imperative that you maintain integrity. I have given you the ability to stay in truth, righteousness, faith and peace through the Spirit. I have empowered you and given you the grace to rise above and overcome the powers of darkness of this age, says the Lord. It is up to you to choose the high road. Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
February 13, 2020: While in the Spirit, I had the sense of expansion. It was like the atmosphere was expanding to be higher, wider and deeper. And I heard the Lord say that we will experience a time of spiritual growth when we can see more clearly, gain greater wisdom, and go beyond previous limitations. We just have to be available to Him and be willing to embrace all that He has for us. Isaiah 55:9 "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts."
February 12, 2020: I heard the phrase, "Stay in your lane." I believe that this is an admonishment for us to stay with what we know is right for us. We must keep our focus and not deviate from truth and peace. The Lord wants us to fulfill His purpose by the grace He has given to us through Christ Jesus. Ephesians 4:4-7 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
February 11, 2020: I am seeking those with tender hearts and yielded spirits that I can move readily, says the Lord. I want to lead My people to places they have never considered--places beyond the confines of religious tradition. I will take you to spiritual heights that will elevate your spirit and thrill your soul. Will you yield to the moving of My Spirit? Ephesians 3:17-19 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
February 10, 2020: In this time of uncertainty it is important for you to be found in peace. You must not be carried away from your place of safety and security by external conditions. Stand strong and immovable by knowing the power of My strength in you. I am unchanging, the same yesterday, today and forever, says the Lord. Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
February 9: Use caution in forming new connections. Things are not as they seem. Discernment is necessary if you are going to avoid being taken advantage of. You cannot trust systems or people that you personally do not know are reliable. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is. Ask Me for wisdom, says the Lord. Proverbs 2:3-6 Yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
February 7, 2020: I am refining you by testing your heart. Impurities in your character and nature will begin to rise to the top of your consciousness so that you can see clearly the things that need to be dealt with. This refining process will produce purity and sweetness of spirit. Set your heart to yield to this process, says the Lord. Proverbs 17:3 The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the Lord tests the hearts.
February 6, 2020: You are entering a time that may very well be one of the most defining moments of who you are in Me before you move to the next phase of your life. Be obedient to My direction, and stay close to Me. Do not be afraid! Your tendency is to fear the unknown, but your unknown is very well known to Me, says the Lord. Stand strong. 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, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
February 5, 2020: Plant your feet firmly on the foundation of the word of truth and refuse to allow the winds of change to move you from that place of stability. Be strong and unwavering. Stand fast in your relationship and commitment to Me, says the Lord. Spiritual focus is the order of the day. 1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
February 4, 2020: There is a shift taking place, and you must be alert and discern the changes required before you can do what is next. Your flexibility will result in stability, so you must be willing to do all that I ask without jumping out ahead of Me, says the Lord. Take it slow and steady. Proverbs 8:6 Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, and from the opening of my lips will come right things.
February 3, 2020: Take the time you need to rest and catch your breath from the demands on your time and energy. It is important for you to maintain your strength and stamina for the days ahead. You will be challenged in ways that benefit your spiritual growth and understanding of the current season. Stay alert! Matthew 14:23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
February 2: Beloved, I want you to consciously exercise your will with purity of purpose. Your decisions will dictate the outcome of your life in the days and weeks ahead. Only the foolish believe that they can get away with unrighteousness without having to pay a price. Stay spiritually and morally focused so that you can have the best possible results, says the Lord. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
January 31, 2020: Take a step back and carefully evaluate your priorities. For some it has been a wild ride, and you need to take a break from things that produce stress and hopelessness. Put your hope and faith in Me, says the Lord. I am your guiding light in the darkness. Enter into peace and rest there. Matthew 11:29 "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."
January 30, 2020: Do not waste time on regrets from the past. What's done is done! Rather, use past experiences to gain wisdom and to modify your views and behavior presently and for the future. Beating yourself up will do no good. Set yourself to seek Me for the best way to deal with every situation you encounter, says the Lord. Position yourself to exhibit My nature. 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.
January 29, 2020: Beloved, do what it takes to obtain and maintain spiritual focus. The cares of the world will inevitably take you down. But if you keep Me as the center of your attention, I will bring clarity and solutions to every problem. Seek Me for wisdom and direction. I will show you the ways you can succeed, 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.
January 28, 2020: Prepare to advance to a level of spiritual awareness and acuity that will take you to higher heights than you could have imagined. Your faith and dedication to do My will is of utmost importance. I am looking for those whose devotion to Me is unbridled and unrestrained, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
January 27, 2020: I admonish you to always speak the unvarnished truth. When you lie to one another, you open the door to a lying spirit and will also believe lies told by others. Keep yourself in the light and truth. Repent and be cleansed so that you can begin to discern the truth from error, says the Lord. Ephesians 4:23-25 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. Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another.
January 26: Most of you, My people, are still transitioning into the spiritual and natural position that I have prepared for you. Stay flexible and alert to the leading of My Spirit, for it will be as though I am taking you by the hand so that you will not miss a step, says the Lord. I am with you. Hebrews 13:5b For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
January 24, 2020: I heard in my spirit, "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Darkness covers the earth and deep darkness the people. Do not become part of the darkness, but rather become a beacon of light and a source of truth and strength in your environment, says the Lord. Remember that light dispels darkness. Isaiah 60:2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.
January 23, 2020: For those who feel lost and aimless this is a time to reevaluate your goals and direction. You may have to adjust your expectations. More importantly you cannot thrive without having a vital relationship with Me, says the Lord. I will give you the wisdom, insight, and the inspiration you need to succeed. Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
January 22, 2020: When the world around you seems so bleak, you must find your place in the safety of My presence. I will shelter you and give you peace, says the Lord. I am your strength and your salvation. Draw near and put your faith in Me for understanding and guidance. 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.
January 21, 2020: Beloved, move toward and embrace places of light and life. Refuse to allow the darkness to envelop you. This will require examination, discernment and deliberation. You must make a conscious decision to walk and live in the light and truth, says the Lord. It is the only way to spiritual health. 1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
January 20, 2020: Make sure that you are under My protection and that no one has violated your personal boundaries. You must maintain your spiritual space so that you cannot be taken advantage of or exploited in any way, says the Lord. I will give you the discernment and wisdom to know if there have been any breaches. Proverbs 2:7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly.
January 19: Your persistence in faith and your obedience in action will now begin to pay off. Nothing is impossible to Me, and all things will be possible for you as you walk and live in My Spirit, says the Lord. Be diligent to stay connected and to always seek My face. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
January 17, 2020: Expansion is the order of this season. You can reach higher, go deeper, and search wider to know Me more intimately and to accomplish that which is set before you, says the Lord. Refuse to allow a sense of not being capable to cripple your efforts. Go forth with courage and expectation. Isaiah 54:2 "Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes."
January 16, 2020: Let the past rest. You can do nothing about missed opportunities, mistakes you have made, or poor judgments. You must deliberately let go of regrets. At the same time you can acknowledge the things you did wrong and make calculated adjustments. However, the only way you can do better is by living and walking in the Spirit. I will give you the wisdom necessary to succeed in all that I have set before you, 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.
January 15, 2020: Silence your internal confusion, chaos and the worries that you harbor. The uncertainty of outcomes and lack of understanding aspects of your life have kept you from peace. I will reveal the truth of the things that concern you so that you can trust Me with the development and result of those issues, 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 14, 2020: Take a breath and settle down, says the Lord. I know your sense of urgency and impatience to get a move on, but right now I need you to be tolerant and long-suffering. Otherwise, you will remove yourself from the flow of divine destiny. Keep yourself in My Spirit and take life as it comes with the grace I will provide. Romans 16:24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Let Go Of Me: I’m looking deep inside to see what it is I hide. Could it possibly be my pride or the times I believed the lies…to me? I remember You who died and the many times I’ve cried to be forgiven where I defied Your desire to abide…in me. Come to Me, My Lord; rise up in me, My Lord. I do believe Your Word; I want to be restored. I want to know Your love; send Your Spirit from above like the soft touch of a dove so that I can let go…of me.
January 13, 2020: Go beyond your spiritual boundaries. Look, listen, and discern all that I am showing you. There is much clarity to gain and things to understand. This is not a time to get lazy and be distracted. It is a time to focus more completely on what I am doing in, around, and through you, says the Lord. Go forth! Psalm 123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He has mercy on us.
January 12: Pay attention to the things that disrupt your peace. You must quiet your thoughts and emotions in order to be restored. Peace is the platform of the soul from which you can access My presence, says the Lord. Refuse to allow chaos of any kind to interrupt your ability to stay calm. 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!
January 10, 2020: Many of you have struggled with complications and difficult situations, but a season of refreshing will wipe away the tears of agony. You are entering a time of rest and restoration when you can quiet your soul and enter into sweet communion with Me, says the Lord. I will help you recover. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
January 9, 2020: In a vision I saw a man wandering through the countryside in search of the meaning of life and seeking God for wisdom and direction. Then, the clouds rolled away, the sky cleared and in the brightness of that moment he knew that all he had to do was have relationship with God, continue to seek Him, and his destiny would be fulfilled. Romans 6:22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
January 8, 2020: Take a close look to see what stands between Me and you, says the Lord. It is My desire that we become one and stand in the unity of My purposes for all of mankind. Let there be peace and goodwill in your heart towards one another so that peace can reign in your heart towards Me. Allow love to be your standard. Psalm 34:14 Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
January 7, 2020: When life and circumstances become more difficult than you can bear, you must look to Me. These are temporary conditions, which will not last forever. Set your heart and mind on spiritual truth and My goodness, says the Lord. I will give you the strength to endure until the times of refreshing come. Psalm 27:13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
January 6, 2020: This is a time when you can begin again by renewing yourself in divine order and eternal purpose. Make your way through the maze of life's complexities to find the simplicity of life in Christ. It will take an undivided heart and single focus, but you can do it. It is a matter of priorities. 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 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, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
January 5: I was in the Spirit and saw two mountains with a valley running between them. Someone was standing on an outcropping, a high place overlooking the valley below. Conditions were perfect for his own voice to be echoed back to himself. He began to shout things to encourage himself. He shouted conditions and attitudes that would create victory over his circumstances. He shouted words of faith in God. He shouted what he wanted to become, and strength came into his spirit, soul, and body. The more he shouted, the more he believed, and the stronger he became. 1 Samuel 30:6b ...David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
January 3, 2020: It might feel like you're moving at a snail's pace, but if you just keep moving you will get where you are going. Encourage yourself by knowing that I will give you the wisdom and strength to accomplish all that I have given you to do, says the Lord. Don't give up! Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
January 2, 2020: It is easy to get overwhelmed, but know that I am well able to bring you out of the feeling of being deluged. I am your help in all kinds of trouble. Do not go down with negative emotions. Deliberately seek to be at peace and trust that I am with you. Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
January 1, 2020: Be strong and steady so that you can find your place of stability. I am your Stabilizer. Look to Me for direction, guidance, and wisdom. I will show you where to go and how to get there, says the Lord. Put your faith and trust in Me. Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the Lord there is strong confidence, and His children will have a place of refuge.
