1/11/16 Faith to Fall
Let go of your safety lines.
My sons and daughters the time has come to release all the safety measures you have placed around yourself. Let go of those places where you have wrapped yourself in cotton wool so as not to get hurt. Let go of the times you have spoken words over hard times and made them promises in your heart that stop you moving forward. Let go where you have placed your hands over your ears to stop the hurtful words of others.
I say let go today and allow my Spirit to comfort you in all areas of your life.
Every curse you have spoken over yourself “I BREAK THEM OFF YOU NOW” and set you free. Rise up filled with strength and power as these heavy chains of lies now lay at your feet broken and useless.
I will watch, as you fall effortlessly into my hands for I will catch you every time.
(NIV) Galatians 3: 12-14
The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.” Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
(NIV) Proverbs 3: 5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
(NIV) Psalm 31: 4-6
Keep me free from the trap that is set for me,
for you are my refuge.
Into your hands I commit my spirit;
deliver me, Lord, my faithful God.
I hate those who cling to worthless idols;
as for me, I trust in the Lord.
2/11/16 Overlooked or Forgotten?
I have not overlooked you, nor forgotten you.
See you are engraved on the palm of my hand. I am even now lingering over you with my watchful eye to ensure that my promises are fulfilled in your life.
Lift your head and see My Glory and know that I hold you fast. I know the places where you struggle and desire to walk in freedom, I do not condemn you, nor do I withhold my love from you. I lift you up and give you the grace to face every failure so that it will become a stepping stone to victory.
I have not given you a spirit of fear but one of power, love and self control. Arise, knowing my unfailing love for you!
(NIV) Isaiah 49: 14-16
“Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
your walls are ever before me.
(NIV) Psalm 139:1-6
You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
(NIV) 2 Timothy 1: 6-10
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
3/11/16 Pressure
My beloved, the pressures that you are going through are bringing about My plans and purposes in your life.
I am forming Myself in your heart and mind. Do not look at and focus on your light and momentary trials, for they are forming My very nature and character in you.
Keep your eyes focused on Me and let the Holy Spirit teach and guide you in all things, even when to take those moments of rest in the midst of the business of life.
Just as I set my face as flint and endured the cross for the joy set before me, so now I say set your face to endure and to persevere, so that you too will enter into the fullness of my joy.
(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.
(NIV) James 1: 2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
(NIV) Hebrews 4: 9-11
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
4/11/16 Stir the Pot
My beloved Sons and Daughters, you are moving through a time of stirring. I have been stirring things up in your life.
Like a pot on a stove, I have begun to stir the contents. As I stir faster, the blemishes are separated from the core. They are forced to the surface and into the Light, so that they can be shaved away from your heart, leaving behind that which is pure and healthy.
This stirring has been going on for a while in your life. You are watching as these things float to the surface. As each appears they can bring discomfort, yet you know that for each of them, My Heart’s desire is for you to allow, my spirit to envelop them and cleanse them from you.
Be healed, then go and tell others what I have done for you.
(NIV) John 5: 6-8
When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”
(NIV) 1Peter 1: 6-8
In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy.
(NIV) Acts 5: 19-20
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”
7/11/16 My love letter to Your Heart
To my beloved bride, each day I send to your heart my love letter.
You my beautiful one, you hold my gaze like the rising of the sun, and the early morning dew as it brings refreshing to the flowers of the field.
Open my letter this day and breathe in the fragrance of my love for you. Feel the very beat of my heart for it beats for you.
You, my beloved bride are all that I want, prepared, wearing the finest of silk, bejewelled with the most precious of priceless gems. Your perfume brought together from the beauty of the flowers in all their glory.
Open my love letters they are written upon your heart and in my written word, for I AM the Word.
(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 9-11
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!
Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
(NIV) John 1: 1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
(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.”
8/11/16 Digging for treasure
My sons and daughters, digging for treasure is never easy. There may be a small nugget or two that sits on the surface. It tempts you in and causes you to go on the search for more and more.
So it is with the Kingdom of God. I have placed a nugget or two for you to find, but I want you to search for the more, not to settle for the little. I draw you deeper and deeper into me. I call you to greater and greater intimacy with me every day.
My sons and daughters, not only is there treasure in me that you have to dig for, but it is also the treasure that I have placed in others that you need to dig for. Look past the outer facade and look to see what I have placed in the person next to you. Do not look with the eyes of the natural, but the supernatural, see as I see, the beauty that is contained within.
(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) 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.
(NIV) Luke 4:37-38
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”
9/11/16 Appointed Time
My sons and daughters do not move forward, and rush into things head on before the appointed time.
I will release to my prophets and intercessors, the clarity of vision, to see the blueprints of my plans and purposes for my family.
You are being trained, and made ready for what is to come. Even though at times you may become overzealous and step out prematurely. I have your back and I will draw you under my wings and protect you.
I will send around you those who know, and hear my voice, listen to them, as they carry my anointing for such a time as this.
Test what you hear against my written word and in prayer, seek my face and all shall be added unto you.
(NIV) Psalm 91; 3-5
Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
(NIV) Matthew 6; 33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
(NIV) Romans 12: 2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
10/11/16 Authority
Remember that the enemy no longer has any authority over you.
The death and resurrection of My Beloved Son, Jesus, has broken the power of sin, sickness, death and hell. No longer do you need to fear these things, for My perfect love casts out all fear.
Surely I have given you a Spirit that is contrary to these things. I have given you power, love and a sound mind so that you would no longer be subject to or allow these things to have rule over you.
Walk in the fullness of My authority over your life and your circumstances.
(NIV) Matthew 28:18-20
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
(NIV) Colossians 2:15
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
(NIV) 1 Corinthians 15:56-57
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
11/11/16 Greedy for Joy
There is a deep, deep well of joy that is simply waiting for you to lower your bucket into and pull up all you want. Remember, remember the ways that I have led you and brought you forth.
The season of mourning is over, bring your buckets, bring your vats and come fill yourself from My well of joy. Do not come and take just a little, take as much as you want. Be greedy, lust after the joy of My Spirit, do not hold back, but be filled and filled and filled to overflowing.
Then take My joy and release it to those around you and watch as colour comes into their world, into their families, their friends, their colleagues. Watch as my life wells up in them and overflows.
Today be My joy carriers!
(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) Galatians 5: 22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
14/11/16 Tears of Revival
My beloved, there are many among you who have spent long nights in prayer for your nation. So that it can come into a place, prepared and made ready for revival. Many rivers of tears have been released, as my sons and daughters, have humbled themselves and bent the knee before the throne of grace. Each tear a shout of freedom to a nation. I hear your prayers and supplications and I will heal your land.
As I pour out My Spirit on all flesh, the spiritual atmosphere of your nation, is in a transition of Supernatural Breakthrough, both, in the heavenlies and in the communities around you.
As the chains fall away from the oppressive structures that have had sway over everyone, you, my family, will watch as a mighty river of supernatural Harvest comes into effect, as each of you, step out into Holy Spirit Power and Authority, for your Nation and the World.
The time has come.
(NIV) 2 Chronicles 7: 14-15
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 I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
(NIV) John 4: 23-24
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.”
(NIV) Matthew 9: 38
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
15/11/16 Anointed Worship
My people will be known for their worship. As my beloved church raises its voice to the heavens and cries out my name, watch as the darkness surrounding the nations of this world begins to draw back and recede from the power of their anointed worship.
Sing in Spiritual tongues, dance with abandonment as the Spirit leads. Jump, shout and laugh as the chains of the enemy begin to fall from the lives around you.
The whole Earth will shake as my sons and daughters enter into my anointed dance of love.
(NIV) John 4: 23-24
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.”
(NIV) Jeremiah 31: 13
Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
(NIV) Hebrews 12: 26
At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
16/11/16 Made to Measure
My sons and daughters it is time to take off that ill-fitting armour, it was not prepared for you but for another to wear, it gets in the way of your sight and is too heavy for you to carry, it leaves you sore and chaffs in uncomfortable places.
There are some around you who will try to dress you in their armour, so that you will fit into their plans and purposes and will look like them in all you say and do.
I have prepared you for my kingdom plan, you will look like me, and you will talk like me. You will be clothed in my armour, it fits you perfectly and it is light for you to wear.
Take off the ways of this world and put on all of me.
(NIV) Ephesians 4: 21-24
when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
(NIV) Ephesians 6: 10-17
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
(NIV) Matthew 11: 29-30
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.”
17/11/16 My Prodigal
I am waiting, looking and longing for your return. My eyes are constantly surveying the horizon, aching for one glimpse of you. My heart is longing to have you home safe and sound, to have you in my arms of love. I am not angry, nor am I far away from you. My compassion fails not. My heart is reaching out to you tenderly, and ever so gently, even in this moment. Won’t you turn around and let me embrace you. Let me fall upon your neck and kiss you over and over again. My love is endless and kindness flows from my heart.
You say, “You don’t understand, you don’t know what I have done. I’ve messed up in so many ways. How could you possibly love me now? I walked with you once and now my heart is cold.”
Let me take you up in my arms and let me breathe again upon your heart. Let my love melt away all the anguish and pain and restore hope to every area of your life.
You are mine!
(NIV) Psalm 103: 8-13
the Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbour his anger for ever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
(NIV) Psalm 139: 7-12
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
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.
If I say, ‘Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,’
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
(NIV) John 16: 15a
All that belongs to the Father is mine.
18/11/16 Tenderness
Beloved I speak tenderly to you this day. Hear the softness of my tone as I draw you close to me. Know that the heartache and pain of yesterday is over and done. I bring you comfort and I dry your tears. I have heard your hearts’ cry and the moans that no words can express. I declare over your life that those days are ended and the bitterness of the last season is at an end.
Do not look back, but instead draw into me. I wrap you tightly in my arms and cover you with the kisses of my lips. You will no longer remember your shame or the guilt of your past.
Hear me call your name!
(NIV) Isaiah 40: 1-2a
“Comfort my people,” says your God.
“Comfort them.
Speak tenderly to the people of Jerusalem.
Announce to them
that their hard service has been completed.
(NIV) Hosea 2: 14-15
“Therefore I am now going to allure her;
I will lead her into the wilderness
and speak tenderly to her.
There I will give her back her vineyards,
and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope.
There she will respond as in the days of her youth,
as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
(NIV) Isaiah 54:4a
Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
21/11/16 Through the Veil
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.”
(NIV) 1Corinthians 4: 1-2
This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.
(NIV) Isaiah 35: 7-9
The burning sand will become a pool,
the thirsty ground bubbling springs.
In the haunts where jackals once lay,
grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
And a highway will be there;
it will be called the Way of Holiness;
it will be for those who walk on that Way.
The unclean will not journey on it;
wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there,
nor any ravenous beast;
they will not be found there.
But only the redeemed will walk there,

22/11/16 Exponential Supernatural Growth
For many, you are in a season of shifting sands, nothing feels stable or secure. I would have you grow in your trust of me in this season. Stop looking at your circumstances and looking for a quick fix and an easy way out.
I want you to put your hand in my hand. I want you to gaze up and see me as your loving Heavenly Father who only wants the very best for you.
You will find, that those things that can be shifted and removed from your life, some of them were never meant to be there in the first place. Even relationships are changing for you in this season, there are some that are maturing but there are others that now need to be left behind in order for you to reach your full potential in me.
In all things, this is a season of exponential supernatural growth for you. Trust me, I will fulfil My purpose in your life.
(NIV) Hebrews 5: 14
But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
(NIV) Jeremiah 29: 11-14
For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares The Lord
(NIV) James 1: 3-5
because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
23/11/16 Proclaim and Decree
This is a day to trample the schemes of the enemy underfoot, a time to stand, to proclaim and to decree your future and the future of your children. It is not a day to stand idly by, while the enemy robs you of that which is rightfully yours. It is a day for health, strength, riches, sound mind and success.
Rise up My Beloved and re-engage your spirit in the battle for your future. Stand your ground and say, “this far and no further”. This ground you have fought for with blood, sweat and prayers has been hard won, but now you can call it “Holy Ground” for you conquered it in my Name.
Call forth your dreams into the natural from the supernatural, fill them with my power and authority for my word over you is “Yes and Amen”.
(NIV) Ephesians 6:13-18
Therefore take up the whole armour of God that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints
(NIV) 2 Timothy 2: 20-22
In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.
Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
(NIV) 2 Corinthians 1: 19-21
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me and Silas and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but in him it has always been “Yes.” For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,
24/11/16 Time to Weed the Garden
Is your faith overgrown by your life? As weeds grow up, and steal the nutrition from the healthy plants and flowers in your garden, so does your daily struggle blind you from my perfect light?
My beloved church, it is time to tend your garden, pull up those weeds, get down to the root and destroy what has been running wild in your life. Cut off what feeds these weeds of despair and oppression. Chop away the jungle of entanglement that steals the light from the very heart of this special place.
Watch each new day, as my early morning dew brings refreshing, see as my light warms your heart and watch your garden slowly begin to grow again. Know that I love you and desire to walk in your garden daily with you.
(NIV) Luke 12: 27
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labour or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.
(NIV) Song of Songs 4: 16
Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.
(NIV) Ephesians 5: 1-2
Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
25/11/16 Jealous
Beloved, I have watched you as you have grown and matured, as you have made decisions to forsake all others, to lay aside the things you care about, to lay aside your own desires, wants and even your own needs. I have stood as a proud Father knowing that you have made decisions that were right, but knowing too that they have been very costly to you. Not only in terms of your own comfort, but also the cost you have paid in laying down relationships with those that you have loved dearly.
My dear one, know that I am proud of you, that I love you and that I care. I lift your face to my face and I kiss away your tears and I hold you close to me. I surround you with my love and I spread my cloak around you. I am jealous for you, I am jealous for your heart, I am jealous for all of you.
You are mine!
(NIV) Song of Songs 8: 6-7
Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.
(NIV) Psalm 125: 1-2
Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken but endures forever.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people
both now and forevermore.
(NIV) Ezekiel 16: 8
“‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.
28/11/16 Tentative Steps to Boldness
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.
(NIV) Acts 28: 31
He proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ—with all boldness and without hindrance!
29/11/16 Spheres of Influence
Many of you have been undergoing seasons of training and transformation, some have lasted years. The questions have been asked as to, “when, Lord, when?”. Many have grown weary waiting for the fulfilment of hopes and dreams.
I am now calling you to arise. You have served well in the places I have put you and I have watched as you faithfully gave of yourself even in those places that were unseen and unrewarded by men. Now, see I come with my recompense. Many of you will thrive and grow just where you are. I will display favour over your lives and you will no longer be hidden.
However, there are many of you who have served and been faithful, that I am now transporting not only within your local area, but nationally and internationally. I am fanning my faithful ones out across the world to place them in spheres of influence at all levels of society in order to bring in the harvest.
(NIV) Luke 16:10
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.
(NIV) Matthew 9:37-38
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
(NIV) John 4:36
Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
30/11/16 Release Your Spiritual Voice
There is a wave of pulsating power being released over my sons and daughters. It will wash through this world as a wave of living fire. Wherever it touches, transition and change will flow out of the churches, homes, towns and cities. Even nations will bow the knee before the throne of grace.
Watch as the darkness flees from my living flame, as the night becomes day, for my light will bring freedom for the captives. The prisons built by man to entrap the people of God, will crumble and fall as dust. The very earth that you walk on will shake, as my power is released from the very hearts of my people.
As you release your spiritual voice, all that stands before you will turn a flee, as My Supernatural Fire burns up the dross and leaves behind all that has been made perfect through the testing of Fire.
(NIV) Jeremiah 31: 35
This is what the Lord says,
he who appoints the sun
to shine by day,
who decrees the moon and stars
to shine by night,
who stirs up the sea
so that its waves roar—
the Lord Almighty is his name.
(NIV) Jeremiah 23: 29
“Is not my word like fire,” declares the Lord, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
(NIV) 1Corinthians 3: 12-14
If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.
