30/1/15 Underwritten
Beloved, why do you worry about all the mistakes and errors you make? All have been underwritten by My insurance policy. Don’t you know that the blood of My Dear Son, has not merely covered but has dealt with them fully. Simply bring them to the foot of the cross and leave them there. Paid in full has been stamped across your life. Do not let the enemy get a foothold in your life to bring condemnation and guilt. There is nothing left to pay, so today, come boldly into My throne throne, knowing that you are Mine.
(NIV) Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
(NIV) Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
29/1/15 Friends
There is a soft breeze flowing through your life, it brings the aroma of new things, fresh gifts and anointings are being released over you. Stay still in my presence and wait for me in the secret place, for it is here that we will talk together about all the mysteries that I am releasing to my friends.
Come my intercessors and open the land with your prayers. Watch as your words of power force the enemy back. Speak out life upon your friends, your family, your towns and your cities. Prepare the way for the revival that will change the face of this earth.
(NIV) Isaiah 45: 2-3
I will go before you
and will level the mountains
I will break down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
28/1/15 Together Forever
Come let us dance together. Take my hand as I hold yours. Come close my bride. Sense my breath as it brushes past your ear. Know my presence as we move to the music of Heaven. Feel my heart beat as it quickens for you. Let us dance for eternity.
My bride knows my tenderness and my love. Come, stand in my light and allow me to bathe you, from the top of your head to the base of your feet. Be washed in my transforming light. Watch as your laughter grows and your feet begin to tap, until your excitement, cannot contain what is inside, and all you can do is to, explode into the dance.
(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 9-10
You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
(NIV) Psalm 126: 2-3
Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
“The Lord has done great things for them.”
The Lord has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
27/1/15 Rich beyond understanding
The richest of men is poor in all things, compared to those who wear the robes of righteousness.
I have set your feet upon my path. As you walk your feet are bare, for each step you take you walk on Holy Ground. You move forward, walking slowly at first, testing each step for bumps and rocks that might hurt or cut your feet. When this does not happen, you gain boldness and walk with confidence. As you walk, the rags of yesterday begin to fall from your body, the further you walk the more they fall away from you, until there are none left. You stand naked before me and I clothe you in a tunic of pure white and around your shoulders the robe of righteousness.
The gold and diamonds, emeralds and rubies are mans riches these are trinkets of mans power, but beyond the understanding of man is the kingdom treasures that each of my family carry. The beauty of a diamond, does not compare to the beauty of hope, gold does not hold the richness of love, emeralds and rubies are cold and lifeless when stood beside joy.
My beloved you are adorned with the riches of Heaven.
(NIV) Matthew 6:19-21
“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
(NIV) Proverbs 13:7
One person pretends to be rich, yet has nothing;
another pretends to be poor, yet has great wealth.
26/1/15 The Looking Glass
It is time to step out of the normal, through the veil, and into the supernatural, leaving behind every hindrance that comes to rob you, of the clear and transparent vision I have released over your life, through my Spirit. See with clarity as you move forward with the seers anointing. Watch as the panorama of detail, is revealed to your spiritual vision.
Speak out what you see, look deeper as the colours of the vista around you explode with supernatural understanding. Sail into uncharted waters teaming with Prophetic revelation for all around you. Open the treasure chests of Heaven and pour out the riches upon all who have an ear to hear.
This is your adventure, live it!
(NIV) Matthew 13: 51-52
“Have you understood all these things?” Jesus asked.
“Yes,” they replied.
He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
23/1/15 AS we think SO we are
22/1/15 Drink from my Cup
I hear your prayers, your lips are dry, your throats are like sand in the heat of the desert sun, and you have come into a place where all seems arid, dry and hopeless.
I lift to your lips a cup of cool, clear, refreshing water. My beloved you sip slowly to begin with but as the coolness flows past your lips and into your mouth it awakens in you a hunger for more, you swallow and all that was dry is transformed, as the clear, refreshing, waters of life, fills every part of you.
The very core of your being shakes free of the dust of restriction. Refreshed you pick up a cup for those who are thirsty.
21/1/15 We Are What We Eat
Are you hungry my Church, for the kingdom and the manifestation of my Kingdom Gifts being released over you and your tabernacle? I am pouring out my Spirit upon all flesh. Signs and wonders will be seen across the whole globe. My church will be known, as a house of power.
There will be those who deny the move of my Spirit, even among the elect, for they have taken to eating from the tables of other religions and faiths. There is only one way and that is through salvation, only found in my Son. My Word is the food for the hungry, for it is a Living word, which brings life to all who sit at my table.
Come sit and eat.
1 Corinthians 2: 3-5
I came to you in weakness with great fear and trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power.
(NIV) Luke 22: 29-30
And I confer on you a kingdom, just as my Father conferred one on me, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
20/1/15 Hands Free
19/1/15 Make Time
Beloved, many of you have turned the time you have with me into spiritual disciplines. You stop for a minute or two to say a quick and hurried prayer or to read your daily devotion over a cup of coffee before heading out the door. I am so longing and waiting for you to come and spend time with me, to make time in your day so that we can talk about what is happening. I have much to say and to impart to you. My wisdom and my understanding will bring you into greater freedom, and will encourage you to see my plans and purposes over your life. I have a vision that I want to impart to you that will bring a new hope for the future. Come and take time with me.
(NIV) Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
16/1/15 The River of Life
I have set you my beautiful bride as a mighty oak, deeply rooted beside my river of life and your roots seek out the life giving waters. The earth around you is healthy full of nutrition, a place where the young saplings and flowers of the field can grow strong and full of days. The birds of the air will come and make their home in your abundant foliage; your branches are a fortress of safety to those who find themselves tired from the daily cycle of life.
My bride, open your arms wide for this world needs your embrace.
(NIV) Isaiah 61: 3b
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
(NIV) Psalm 1: 1-3
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
15/1/15 Uncover
14/1/15 Let It Out
Beautiful one, have you been hurt by another, by their words or their anger towards you? Are those burning hot tears that roll down your face, the product of wounding to your heart? Do you carry deep pain even to the very core of your being? Have you even heard your own voice in the distance saying “I can`t live with this pain anymore, when will it stop”? Pain is like a disease, when you don’t let it go, it turns inwards and eventually fills your whole being, every part of you lives in that battlefield. Your health, your mind, your strength even your identity will eventually be stolen from you.
“Today” I say “LET IT OUT”.
Forgive those who have hurt you, rise up and set the pain free, live again. For I will not leave you in this state for you have been set free through my blood, death and resurrection. You my beloved are raised up to live in freedom, filled with authority, power and love for all around you.
(NIV) Isaiah 61: 1-3
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
(NIV) John 14: 27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
13/1/15 Fire Rain
I release from the heavens rain drops of fire, come my daughters and sons, and dance in the rain of Holy Spirit Fire. Each drop is filled with power and authority to burn off all that the enemy has tried to attach to you. Lift your face and let my cleansing rain wash away the sadness of yesterday.
Sense my authority as it burns through to the very core of your being, leaving nothing in your life untouched by my hand. Open your nose and smell the fresh aroma of new life and growth, for after the fire, the new shoots will always spring forth by my command.
The smallest light in my Kingdom will always be greater than any light created by man.
(NIV) Luke 3: 16
John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 28-29
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
12/1/15 Overweight
There are many among you who find running difficult, your stamina is low, for the weight you are carrying is making you slow down, and at times will bring you to a gasping stop. The enemy has surrounded you and piled upon your shoulders every weight he can find, to weigh down your mind with lies, he fills your eyes with deceit and your mouth with gossip. He is a liar and a thief, it is time you got to know and recognise your enemy Satan.
I release you from the weights that you have been carrying, I command that your ears be shut to the words of the enemy and be supernaturally opened to my still small voice. I release to you a lightness of thought so that there is no place for the enemy to hide in the shadows of your mind. I loose your tongue from the chains of servitude to gossip and release over you a voice of authority and a tongue of honour for all that you speak.
I have called each of you by name, you are my family, my beloved, my beautiful ones. Your names are engraved upon my hands, I know every hair upon your heads, every step you take, I collect every tear and I hold you through the darkest of nights. You are never alone for I am always with you, there is nowhere in on or under this earth that you can go where I will not reach you.
You are my inheritance, I will never leave you or reject you.
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 1-3
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
9/1/15 Gifts of the past
My beautiful one, I call you to re-visit the cupboard with the closed door, this is the place where you have placed and kept the gifts that were released to you but were unsure how to use them. Today is the day to open wide that door and take out the gifts, the laughter, the fun, the hope, gifts of healing, prophecy and wisdom, the gift of dance, of song, the gift of music, to learn and play a new instrument.
Empty every shelf, and allow every gift that has been released to you, to pour over and through every part of your being, be all you are called to be.
(NIV) Isaiah 45: 3
I will give you hidden treasures,
riches stored in secret places,
so that you may know that I am the Lord,
the God of Israel, who summons you by name.
8/1/15 See the Truth
Remove the blinkers from your eyes that you may see clearly what I have planned for you. Look out upon the valley filled with milk and honey, grass so green and covered by the most beautiful wild flowers, of every colour your mind could perceive. Watch as the clear streams of running water, gently meander through, giving life to the trees and bounty to the land. See the might of the trees as they reach to the sky, and all the birds and animals that make these mighty giants their home, and place of safety.
This, my beautiful one, is your life in me.
(NIV) Isaiah 61: 3b
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
7/1/15 Belonging
Do you feel small and little when you stand beside others in my body? Do you look at those around you and weigh yourself against them? Do you hear these words in your own ears “everyone is bigger, taller, more powerful; they carry the Holy Spirit and the gifts of the spirit more than me. I’m little, I’m small”.
Where do you belong? Are you an arm or a leg, an eye or a tongue or do you see yourself as a little toe, so far away from the head?
My body is made up of many parts, each part is as essential as the others. I need my family to be united together, and to work together even with all your differences. One body many parts. The small toe to the big toe, the foot and the leg, all are required to be able to step out and share my gospel upon this land. The arms made strong to carry those in need, until they are able to walk by themselves. Fingers and hands that touch and caress, they hold close those in pain. The torso that houses the heart within the body, my heart that beats the rhythm of heaven and pumps my blood through every part of my body. The eyes that see everything through my Spirit. The ears, the nose, and the mouth that speaks forth my word of truth over this world. The head and the brain that send my thoughts, and my commands to every part of my body, even to the small toe.
Every part is equal in my body for each of you are co-heirs with Me in My kingdom.
(NIV) Romans 8: 16-17
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
(NIV) 1Corinthians 12: 12-27
Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many. Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. If they were all one part, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
6/1/15 Free Spirit
Today, I remove from your life the spirit of restriction and the spirit of frustration where they have entwined around the very heart of my church. I break their hold now, and release upon each of you freedom from restriction in your own life, and especially in your church life. I cast out all frustration that has stopped up my people in religious endeavors and shackled them to the pews.
My beloved, I set you free to soar, on the thermals of my spirit, rising and climbing higher and higher until you are so high, you will see all the plans and purposes of the enemy.
I have called you to be free and to move freely in my Spirit.
(NIV) 1 Peter 2: 4-6
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”
5/1/15 Milk Bottles
My beloved sons and daughters, each day the dawn rises, and you climb from your night of sleep and awaken in a new day. You get ready, wash, shower, choose your clothes, come down to breakfast, some sit around together and eat with your family, many of you have cereal with lashings of milk, then you put on your coat and leave for work, school and church.
Are you like the milk bottle? You find it on your doorstep each morning, sitting waiting for you, filled and ready for use. The night before, you had put it out, after using its contents that day. It is collected and filled, not by you.
When you rise each day my beloved, you also need to be filled ready to be used throughout the day and you do have a part to play in this daily filling. Make time for me, come into my presence, seek me and you will find me. Allow yourself the time to be filled daily with living water, that you will have overabundance to give away to all you meet. For tomorrow is a new day.
(NIV) Psalm 139: 8-10
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
(NIV) Hebrews 3: 13-14
But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.
2/1/15 Roll up your Sleeves
As you my sons and daughters transition into this new season, be ready for the call as I am moving you into a place or readiness, for this is a year of harvest in the market places and in the harvest fields.
Roll up your sleeves for this is a time where your hands need to get dirty. The last season was for preparation for what lies ahead, it was a hard and tough season for many. I watched your character and fortitude come to the fore.
My daughters and sons you are my light and have been made ready for such a time as this, you are my reflection to a world slowly slipping into complete darkness.
(NIV) Ephesians 2: 6-10
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
1/1/15 Teetering?
Beloved, are you feeling like you are teetering on the edge, unsure and uncertain as to what will happen when the tipping point is reached?
Let go and enjoy the ride of your life!
It has been an uphill struggle to get to this point but, even as a rollercoaster reaches the zenith, pauses for a split second and then comes crashing down for an exhilarating ride, so you too are going to find that this next season is going to thrill and cause your heart to soar in a way you never thought possible. Brace yourself for a fast paced and fulfilling time in your life. You will see many of my promises coming together in this next season. Keep your eye on the prize!
(NIV) Psalm 62:2
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I shall never be shaken.
(NIV) Psalm 16:8
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
(NIV) Philippians 3:14
I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.
