1/4/20 Worship Warfare

Take up your weapons of warfare, prepare them for the battlefield, sharpen their edge and make it keen.

Lift your guitar and play those chords of Supernatural Vibration, allow My sound to flow freely into your towns and cities. Sing the new Songs, yes, the ones that have been downloaded to you in the dead of night. Write with gusto the words of transition that carry the flame of revival through every chorus.

Bring the piano and the dance together upon the frontline. Wave the flags and show the enemy the beautiful array of colours like the wild flowers of the field.

Watch, then tremble, as the earth vibrates and shakes with the New Sound of Worship, birthed from Supernatural warfare.

(NIV) John 4: 23-26

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

(NIV) Psalm 40: 2-3

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord
and put their trust in him.

(NIV) Psalm 144: 9-10

I will sing a new song to you, my God;
on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you,
to the One who gives victory to kings,
who delivers his servant David.

From the deadly sword

2/4/20 Ready Bride?

For the Bride has made herself ready, fine linen, bright and clean has been given to her. The fine linen that the Bride is wearing are the righteous acts of My people. Those who have prepared themselves, who have made themselves ready.

Those things I ask of you are not too difficult or hard for you. My burden is easy and My yoke is light. Yes, you will encounter difficulty in this life for the servant is not greater than the master, and if I suffered, so too will you. Remember I have overcome the world, so when all around you is raging know that I have given you perfect peace. Do not be taken by surprise, for these things must come, but I AM who I AM. Hide yourself in Me.

Make sure you have the extra oil to complete the journey, do not be caught short, even if I am delayed in the coming!

(NIV) Revelation 19: 6-8

Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting:

‘Hallelujah!
For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and be glad
and give him glory!
For the wedding of the Lamb has come,
and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean,
was given her to wear.’
(Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)

(NIV) John 16: 33

I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

3/4/20 History Makers

Today, I call you My History Makers. Arise, this is not a time for fear but for strength. This is a generational story that you will tell your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Have I not promised to keep you in perfect peace when you set your mind on Me. Remember the birds of the air, they live free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to Me than birds.

Live your life knowing that I am in charge, nothing escapes My gaze. I am not disciplining you, but I will use the situations and turn them for good, for those who know and love Me.

FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. This too will pass, for perfect love casts out all fear, and I love you with a perfect love. Look to Me for I will supply your every need.

(MSG) Matthew 6: 25-26

“If you decide for God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that you don’t fuss about what’s on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion. There is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds.

(NIV) Romans 8: 28-30

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

6/4/20 Empty Prayers to ROARING VICTORIES

Will your prayers be empty and will they just bounce off the ceiling of your limited faith?

This is the time for deep repentance.

Put on your running shoes and run back to your first love, yes, to the time before every other distraction got between you and I.

“I AM” Jesus Christ your Lord and Saviour.

I call you again to hear my still small voice. I whisper through the night hours for you my prodigals to come home and sit with me in the secret place.

Raise the Prayers of your Heart to The Throne of Grace and step into my presence with boldness as one who knows their Sonship.

There are no Orphans in My Kingdom only Sons and Daughters.

(NIV) 2 Peter 3: 8-10

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.

(NIV) 2 Thessalonians 2: 13-14

But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters loved by the Lord, because God chose you as firstfruits to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(NIV) John 14: 17-19

The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.

7/4/20 Mighty

Mighty are the deeds of those who know their God, who have put their full faith, trust and reliance in Me. Men and women whom you celebrate, so many giants of faith are listed in My word. You know of so many more, even in your own day.

These are men and women who have laid down their own agendas, in order to take up My agenda and to seek My face. They are no different to you, they had and have the same battles as you. Every day making the choice to follow Me as best as they could. Putting one foot in front of the other, never fully knowing what lay ahead, yet choosing to trust Me and move forward.

You too are mighty, I am behind you, before you and at the side. I have encompassed you in as you have set your face to seek Me.

(NIV) Psalm 32: 10-11

Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the Lord’s unfailing love
surrounds the one who trusts in him.
Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!

(NIV) Hebrews 11: 1-3

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for.

By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

(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 that was 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.

8/4/20 Thanksgiving

Lift up your heads and release your thanks for all you are grateful for. Praise and thanksgiving are your weapons at this time. Do not allow the circumstances to rob you of your ability to laugh at the little things. Take a deep breath, allow My love to fill you afresh and realise that I am still in control.

Remember to rejoice in Me. Don’t let anxiousness rob you of your peace in Me. Bring everything before Me, lay them at My feet. I care about every issue no matter how small.

Fix your eyes on things unseen, know that you are passing through. Allow your thoughts to dwell on what is true, noble, upright, pure, lovely and admirable. Anything that is excellent or praiseworthy, think about these things.

Put your trust and reliance in Me.

(NIV) Philippians 4: 4-8

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.

(NIV) 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

(NIV) Psalm 106: 1-3

Praise the Lord.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
Blessed are those who act justly,
who always do what is right.

9/4/20 Wide Eyed and Awe Filled

Stop a minute, breathe in the fresh air and have a look again at the birds of the air. They are still doing their mating dances, preparing for the new lives. Life goes on day by day all around. Take the time to open your windows and see what they are doing.

Let your eyes become like those of a child, watching the spiders spinning their webs. Yes, you know all about those things, but take on the awe of a child, that sees the wonder in the rain, in the sun, in the mud. Look again and see how I have beautifully created you from the top of your head to the tip of your toes and all the organs inside. Right down to the delicacy of your cells, the balance of your fluids and realise you are wonderfully made, both internally and externally.

Look and look again, you are beautiful. Look again at nature and see My work in all that is around you.

(NIV) Psalm 19: 1-6

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is deprived of its warmth.

(NIV) Psalm 139: 13-18

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand –
when I awake, I am still with you.

10/4/20 The Petulance of a Child

I want! I demand! I will have a tantrum unless you give me whatever I want! I hate you God because you don’t answer my prayers immediately and don’t give me everything in the manner that I ask for it! Come on God I will love you forever just give me what I need!

You are not children anymore. You are mature adults that sometimes act like children.

I want Intimacy with you, I want to walk in the garden of your life, and chat about your day and your problems and your loves and hopes. I want to hold you when you weep and cover you in your despair. I want your life to be entwined with my entire Kingdom. I want to know your coming and going as we share eternal life together.

I will give you more and more of “ME” all you have to do is “Ask”.

(NIV) Philippians 3: 15-16

All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

(NIV) John 16: 22-24

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

13/4/20 He Has Risen! Have YOU?

My Family, many of you have become warriors of many battle lines, and you know how important it is for you, to be in a deep, deep, relationship with Holy Spirit.

The Cross was and is the battle line for the end of satans’ rule over mankind and for all men, women and children to come into reconciliation with Father God, through Salvation in Christ Jesus.

When You have Forgiveness you also are raised with Christ and become a New Person, the Old wine skin becomes a New Wine Skin filled with Fresh New Wine. You reflect the Heart of Jesus to the people and world around you as His Witnesses.

All that the Father gave to His Son, the Power and Authority, Jesus has given to “YOU”.

Step Out Today with New Boldness. Allow Holy Spirit to Teach and Guide you in the ways of the Kingdom of God.

(NIV) Mark 16: 5-7

As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 5: 18-20

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

(NIV) Matthew 28: 17-19

When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

14/4/20 Treasure Seeker

Beloved what is your heart set upon at this time? What is your treasure? Who or what have you put your trust in?

I would say to you today that I AM the only one who is trustworthy. The Kingdom of God is that pearl of great price that you are seeking after. Set your face to seek Me and you will find Me. Do not worry about food and clothes, but seek first the Kingdom of God and all these others things will be given to you.

Today, seek the treasure that will satisfy the longing in your heart. Put your trust in Me and I will deliver you and bring you into open places. You will be glad and sing for joy for I will surely settle you in your own land. I will not fail you.

(NIV) Matthew 13: 44-46

‘The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.

‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

(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) Matthew 6: 31-33

So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

15/4/20 Kingdom Awakening

I have come to awaken my Sons and Daughters to their True Calling in and through Me.

You, Yes “YOU” The One Reading This Word. I have called your name and engraved it upon the palm of my hand. Why? Because I Love you and I have a Ministry that has been planned from the beginning of time, even before you were knit into your mother’s womb, that only “YOU” can complete in My Name.

Awaken oh sleeper, your time of slumber is over. The World around you has transformed and many people of every tribe and nation are hungry for answers. They ask for the Truth and you know that the Truth sets you free. “YOU” are My Witness and “I AM” the Truth.

I Commission you today, to step into the fullness of your Calling and walk boldly into the harvest fields with your winnowing fork in your hands.

(NIV) Romans 8: 18-19

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.

(NIV) Romans 13: 11-12

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armour of light.

(NIV) Numbers 27: 22-23

Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole assembly. Then he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as the Lord instructed through Moses.

16/4/20 Boldness a Catalyst of Change

The hands of time are sweeping away the dust of yesterday and change has come upon the church.

What has been, will not rule over my family anymore as I bring Change and transformation to the Ecclesia. The Remnant is rising from the dust and they boldly speak as One calling in the market places prepare the way of the Living God.

My Church will have no walls and no roof. My family will be the living bricks of my temple and you will know them by the miracles and the healing of the sick and blind.

Power and Authority will reveal the true heart of my servant leaders as they attend the needs of all who come to them. Their doors will never be shut and sealed by a security alarm or a padlock for My house is Eternal.

(NIV) Revelation 2: 16-17

Repent therefore! Otherwise, I will soon come to you and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.

(NIV) Romans 11: 5-6

So too, at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.

(NIV) 1 Thessalonians 1: 4-6

For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake. You became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you welcomed the message in the midst of severe suffering with the joy given by the Holy Spirit.

17/4/20 Mine the depths

Beloved, will you settle for the little you have of Me, or will you mine the depths? There are so many facets to My love and character that you have not yet seen or understood. I long to show you more of Me. Open your heart and eyes and see afresh. The oil of My love is being poured out minute by minute and second by second. It never ceases. You can have a little or an abundance. Choose.

I have so many treasures and gifts to release to you. You don’t have to work for them, they are freely available for you. The more time you spend with Me, the more I will release to you. Come sit with Me and rest awhile. Let the depth of My love draw you in deeper.

(NIV) Psalm 42: 7-8

Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.
By day the Lord directs his love,
at night his song is with me –
a prayer to the God of my life.

(NIV) Colossians 3: 1-4

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

(MSG) Matthew 11: 28-30

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”

20/4/20 Royal Warrior

Come to Me Royal Warrior, you are tired and washed out. It has become hard to get out of your bed in the early dawn and put on your armour and sword. The weightiness of your Shield has become like lead to your feeble arms, but you still try to rise and ready yourself for battle upon the front line.

Royal Warrior, I say it is time to Rest. Lay down your weapons of warfare and leave your armour upon your chair. I will send My angels to minister to your needs. Allow yourself to let go of all that you have to do. I will send another warrior to fill the gap for you, while you and I take time in the secret place.

Hear my whisper like a roar in the heart of a warrior, watch, as you, my friend will be refreshed and the well will overflow with my love and abundant blessings. You will be restored and fighting fit again.

Then and only then will I send you out upon the Battle Field my Royal Warrior.

(NIV) Matthew 11: 28-30

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

(NIV) Psalm 51: 6-7

Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

(NIV) Zephaniah 3: 9

“Then I will purify the lips of the peoples,
that all of them may call on the name of the Lord
and serve him shoulder to shoulder.

21/4/20 Turnaround

This is a season of turnaround. The things that the enemy has meant for evil, will be turned to good, for all things work together for good for you who love Me and are called according to My purpose. Watch and listen as the good news stories are revealed. Those who trust in Me are mighty. Many will arise from this season, with hearts revived and renewed, with fresh vision and fresh vigour, and a passion to see the Kingdom of God released in a greater measure into the earth.

Remember that those who overcome will inherit the good things I have promised. Yes, there will always be difficulties, but stand strong and know that I am there to support you and uphold you with My righteous right hand. Stand firm and watch for My Salvation in this land.

(NIV) Romans 8: 28-31

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

(MSG) Matthew 4: 17

He (Jesus) picked up where John left off: “Change your life. God’s kingdom is here.”

(NIV) Mark 1: 15

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

22/4/20 Remember the Embers

There a many lives around you, that have been roaring flames, but the enemy has stolen the wind from their fires and has left them as a dying ember.

Reach out today to your families, brothers also sisters and children across this whole world, and begin to stir up the embers of their faith in Me. Holy Spirit will send a fresh breath of supernatural transformation, to every life that you pray for, and their embers will begin to glow red and a small flame will spring up.

As they come closer to the throne of grace and repent, there will be the sound of a furnace released in the heavenlies, as these flames become a roaring fire of healing grace. Which will be poured out upon all who meet these prodigals, who have been Restored and given full Restoration as true Justice is revealed throughout their lives.

(NIV) Luke 3: 16

John answered them all, “I baptise 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 baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

(NIV) 2 Peter 3: 8-9

(NIV) Ezekiel 34: 15-16

I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice.

23/4/20 Stuffed Up

My family, many of you are going through a time of clearing your heads and turning your ears once again, to my still small voice.

You have been inundated by voice after voice, telling you how to live, how to walk, how to believe and how to give! At this time all churches are closed and your home has become your meeting place. You have remembered and reopened your prayer closet and we have started talking again. Worship vibrates from the inner sanctuary of your dwelling, and the voices of you and your loved ones as they worship Me, is heard by your neighbours and transformation has come to your street.

The time has come when you listen to the Holy Spirit for fresh revelation, and begin to teach every member of your family, from the youngest to the eldest, that they to carry the fullness of Holy Spirit.

Expect the miracles to be released through your children, as they speak out in authority over their friends and neighbours. Take back what the enemy has tried to steal from you. Freedom which can only be found through Me.

(NIV) Zechariah 1: 3-5

Therefore tell the people: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Return to me,’ declares the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will return to you,’ says the Lord Almighty. Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the earlier prophets proclaimed: This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘Turn from your evil ways and your evil practices.’ But they would not listen or pay attention to me, declares the Lord. Where are your ancestors now? And the prophets, do they live forever?

(NIV) Isaiah 30: 21

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

(NIV) Acts 2: 17-18

“‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.

24/4/20 Comfort, Comfort

This is not a time to be downcast and fearful. I have not given you a spirit of fear or timidity. I come as the comforter in this season to bring peace to the hearts of the broken and hurting. I AM the healer. I would not have you give way to despair or depression. Yes there is a time of sorrow and a time of mourning, but there is also a time to laugh and to dance. There is a time for everything. Your mourning will turn to joy. Allow My comfort to lift you up.

(NIV) Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

(NIV) Isaiah 40: 1

Comfort, comfort my people,
says your God.

(NIV) Matthew 10: 28-31

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

27/4/20 Extra! Extra! Prison Doors Opened

Prison doors have been Opened, those held in captivity are Free to walk out.

Choose this day to walk free from these prisons where you have stayed, where others have put you. Watch as I lead you out with My loving kindness. Just reach out your hand and I’ll take it and support you in the transformation from the old to the new. Give yourself to Me as a living sacrifice and be changed by the renewing of your mind.

As your thoughts are transformed, so too will your life be transformed. Fix your eyes fully on Me and know that I am for you. You are surrounded with such a great cloud of witnesses, all of whom are cheering you on.

So go ahead, reach out your hand and take the first step.

(NIV) Romans 12: 1-2

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

(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.

28/4/20 Refiner’s Fire

I watched as a person had two flags in their hands, they were beautifully crafted in reds, oranges and gold’s. I watched as the person got so lost in worship that glory fell. The glory that was unleashed fell like fire from heaven above. As the person continued to wave the flags, I watched as the fire hit the flags and was waved away over the other people in the room.

I watched as the flames alighted upon one person, then another. They wept, they laughed, some were so silent and still, while others rose to dance. Each responded from within their hearts and what they had been longing for.

As I watched, I asked what was happening and I heard the Lord say, “I am releasing My refiner’s fire, each heart is responding to the fire. Some are being purified, others are rejoicing for they are living sacrifices and know what the fire is, and how to respond. No-one will be left untouched by My Fire. Open up your heart and let Me work.”

(NIV) Malachi 3: 1-3

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.

But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the Lord will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness,

(NIV) 1 Kings 18: 38-39

Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.

When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!”

29/4/20 Sanctified Mind

My family, each of you came to Me on bended knee, and asked Me to come and live within you, and to forgive your sins. When I knocked upon the door of your life, you opened it and we now have a deep relationship built upon love.

Where the enemy has tried to come against your thought life, and has been tugging at those memories of the past, to bring confusion and despair in to today. I say “Remember I have given you a Sanctified Mind and all your thoughts have been taken captive and are washed through My Blood”.

You are sound and capable to help to lead others through this time of hardship. There are those around you that need that deep love you carry in your heart, to reach out to them and share My Salvation with them.

I AM, knocking at their doors today.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 10: 13-14

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.

(NIV) 1 Corinthians 6: 11

And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

(NIV) 2 Corinthians 10: 4-5

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

(NIV) Revelation 3: 20-21

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.

30/4/20 Dawn Chorus

Hear the song of the birds as the beauty of a summer’s day begins to rise upon the horizon. The warmth of the deep hues of orange, purple and red as the fingers of colour spread out across the sky, and chases away the gloom of dark shadows of the night before.

I Sing over you My Bride, with songs of love. I wait for you to rise in your Splendour as you put on your wedding dress and we walk together for eternity.

Come now is the time to worship, raise your voices and sing this day a “New Song”. Fill it with colour and joy, laughter and love, hope and completion.

(NIV) Psalm 65: 8

The whole earth is filled with awe at your wonders;
where morning dawns, where evening fades,
you call forth songs of joy.

(NIV) Zephaniah 3: 17

The Lord your God is with you,
the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing.”

(NIV) Isaiah 42: 9-11

See, the former things have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce them to you.”

Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
you islands, and all who live in them.
Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.
