Release my words, not your own

One of the things I’ve heard God speak to me about the coming year related to a crossing over into the land of promise. Many are impatient, wanting to move across the river on their own. Your zeal is seen and is commendable. You wish to do great feats; and you will in my timing. If you are released prematurely you risk losing the higher calling I have for you. Others of you too are impatient. I have filled you with a righteous impatience and have placed you in situations to test your maturity. You have passed this test. You thought you were forgotten and I’d sent others over in your place. That is not so. I’ve taught you what is necessary for this next step. Renew your time in prayer. Pray with expectation. Proclaim aloud what I am about to show you. There is no time or reason for timidity. Release my words, not your own and watch the enemy withdraw. Speak forth what I have told you and see truth prevail. As you follow forth what I have set forth for you, there will be an opening of yo

what you seek

Come to me. Come, you who are brokenhearted. Come, so I may hold you close to me. Allow me to release my healing. I will heal that which the tears at you, causing you to feel defeated and worthless. Rest now, away from the clamour and commotion of the recent weeks. Breathe deeply of my sweetness. Allow my aroma to permeate your every cell. Come now to me. Look into my eyes, study my face. I will show you things you’ve forgotten. I will open ways for my plans to be fulfilled through your cooperation. Come to me without fear. I bring no judgment against you. You have been lied to and shredded by my enemy. He is the maker of accusations and lies. You are safe within me. Let me tend to your wounds. Allow my spirit to pour forth fresh oil of peace. He releases peace that stays without measure. Recognize I am what you seek. I have paid the debt for your redemption.

The GOOD NEWS never changes...

You who bring good tidings to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, "Here is your God!" See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power, and his arm rules for him. See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him. He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young. Isaiah 40:9-11 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

the season of gift giving

"Turn to my reproof, Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you; I will make my words known to you. Proverbs 1:23 (NASB) Come to me. Don't hesitate. Do not allow your expectations and form to keep you from what I have for you. Come into my presence and find healing. Soak-in what I have for you. Abandon yourself in me. Come to me when I whisper your name. Draw near to the opportunity when I invite you. As you learn obedience to me, revelation will flow. Let your wounds be cleansed and healed thru me. Wrap yourself in me and find the colours of my name. Let me flow through you so you might learn the liberty I hold for you. This is the season of gift giving. It is a time of giving and opening the gifts I have given to you. Allow me to unwrap what I’ve placed within you.

the month of 12

When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him there. After three days they found Jesus sitting in the Temple with the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. Luke 2:45-46 (NCV) I am calling; searching for those who want more of me: For those willing to be apart of my kingdom work. I am asking for those who will sit with me; For those who have learned to listen. Close your eyes; listen to what I am saying. Resist the urge to move in whim or when you feel me near. Grow in the satisfaction of my proximity. The times of extremes are approaching. Many will grow dim, yet others will glow in new sight. Darkness and light will grow. Radicals will separate to their positions of polarity. Great revelation and dull deception will grow. Those I know and those I do not know. This is the month of 12, a soon-coming completeness. I am maturing those I can trust. I am releasing new levels of my Spirit. My appointed ministers will begin to flourish. They wil

Come to my altar

Come to my altar. Find yourself beneath my covering. As you wait at my feet, my love extends to you and my acceptance can be realized. I offer my covering and characteristics to those who are willing to accept them. I am the light. Bring me your idols. Let them be burned away in the fire of my holiness. Come to me and be changed into my likeness. Allow my spirit to speak to you. Be covered in my glory. I desire more of you. Fear not, for my plans are to prosper you. Come to me and pour forth your heart. Surround yourself in me.

learning cooperaton

My teaching will drop like rain; my words will fall like dew. They will be like showers on the grass; they will pour down like rain on young plants. Deuteronomy 32:2 (NCV) It is a time of learning cooperation. Learn to move together and put the enemy to flight. Those who cooperate with my plans and ways will go into places they would not normally go. Their eyes will be opened to the new thing I am doing. You will not be self-conscious, but God-centric. I will have my light taken into the dark places by my people. There will be a rapid acceleration for those who walk unquestioningly at my request. My glory shall be upon you as you cooperate in my Spirit. I will drop my ways into your hearts and lives of those willing. I will water you with my Spirit. I will cause you to prosper in this season.

in this season

So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him. 1 Kings 19:19 (ESV) I am sending you forth in this season. Walk secure where I am sending you. You wear the covering of my name. My cloak will provide what is needed if you do not walk out from it. It is within my shadow of protection the enemy can not find you. You are apart of my apostolic teams. Unwavering you will declare my truth. You shall stretch forth your hand to those in need, declaring my love. While they see your weaknesses, they will be focused upon my strength. Speak to the destitute and broken-hearted in love. Find your way to the mall and stores. Walk among the people. I will direct you to whom I want you to speak with. Do not hesitate and I will give you more. This is the month I am establishing you within my governmental ways. I have set you with others, so together th

it’s the season

One of the things God wishes is for us to prosper. He gives us what we need and in his grace, he withholds that which we deserve. We grow in our ways of experiencing God by being aware of his written word and also by our willingness. If we are not willing to grow, our spiritual life will become stunted. We’ll become lax in prayer time and reading the scriptures. We’ll find excuses for not giving and begin to miss gathering together for services. In essence we die. It is not God’s wishes for that to happen, but we have the responsibility. Someone recently asked me, “What’s God saying for next year?” I initially wondered why she was asking me, but as I read it, I heard God chide me, as for why I had not inquired. Ask for nothing and it’s what you’ll receive. I did ask Him. I received a several things. As I share, you will need to pray for application where God has you. I repeatedly heard the phrase “It’s the season for giving of gifts”. The more we give the more He can give back to us.

For those who feel as jack-o-lanterns

Your season has not passed. Though you feel you are discarded and left unwanted at the curb. It is not so. Though you feel carved up and empty, it is not true. You are not contaminated with the mold of the world. That is a false picture. They are but images from the thoughtless and the enemy. They are far from what I see. My light glows out from you. I have chosen you. From the beginning I have known your name. I have cared and will continue to care for you. You are uniquely created. I have crafted my stamp upon you. My kingdom purposes are written within you. I have not set you aside. I see the purity of my son from within you.

speak

Speak. I have not called you to be silent. You are the light of the world. As salt and light you can release what is needed to those who come to you. Do not be timid or self-conscious. I have called you to speak in truth and love. Break the word-curses spoken against people. Speak truth. You can break the bonds of those caught in lies. Bind up the wounds of the broken- hearted, those who feel unloved. Feed the oppressed with the bread of life. I am the freedom that creates hope. Speak hope. Pray my words into the wind that I may carry it forth. Do not be silent in the face of accusation. Do not return accusation. Resist the temptation to respond in anger, that false humility. I have called you to prayer. Pray for those you come against my name. Resist the temptation to respond in anger, that false humility. Speak truth in hope to the world around you. Show them the love of Jesus. Feed the hungry. I am the bread of life. I am the water that satisfies the thirst of the lonely. My oil rel

Join me

Join me. Relearn the truth of my words. Look to me and receive hope. Allow me to encourage you. Grasp what I see when I look at you and be empowered. Leave doubt and despair. They are the tools of the enemy. Steady your ways in me. Allow me to accomplish my goals through you. Be empowered in me. I am releasing hope. Count on me. There is strength for those who come to me to stand. I am protection for those who abide in my ways.

lessons of a dog owner

We have two cocker spaniels. Last month they turned one year of age. In the almost year they have lived with us there have been many changes required. I have had many learning opportunities. While Sadie and Sophie are sisters from the same litter, they are quite unique in their mannerisms. These dogs are like most people. They like to do the things they like to do. Sadie is the sister smaller in stature, but is by far the more vocal. She is also one who tries to please. She is very responsive and comes when first called. She does not to be disobedient. While Sophie, enjoys doing her own thing. Yet when she has been scolded she does not avoid me. Instead she draws closer as if to re-establish the relationship. That can be such a good example for spiritual guidance. When I screw-up or receive correction, I should not avoid God, but come eagerly back to Him. As individuals, the dogs express themselves differently. There are different modes of play they each prefer. While they both may b

you are the light

My children, I want to remind you who sits on the throne of the highest heavens. I am yet creator, king and commander of the Hosts of heaven. Do not become distracted by the enemy. He roars to see who is scared and who he can flush out, that they might react on their own. Fear not. Stay near me. Nothing has changed but circumstances. My word brought forth light. My voice continues to dispel darkness. Walk secure in my truth. Darkness is yet an absence of my light. Darkness is the place where I send those I trust, so that I might breakthrough and destroy the works of evil. You are the light of the world. My glory illuminates the truth. It breaks the lies of bondage. It utterly destroys all that resists me. Walk in the love you have been shown. I am the Lord of Hosts. I will accomplish what I have planned. I am the great restorer.

water level rising

The water level is rising. I am powering forth my spirit. My water of truth is rising. I am increasing the signs of my ways. Be sure-footed and secure in me. As the water level rises, so do other things likewise rise. The enemy swarms in the flow feeding on the weak and ungrounded. The water moves more swiftly. Be certain what you do. Examine your motives. Fact that does not align with me; Fact that has no love is not truth. I am the truth. Much can get caught up and moved along in the water. Much can be hidden beneath the surface. In me is purity. I am on the move. I am extending boundaries for those who follow me. I am clearing away rubble and rubbish. That which stands in my way will not remain. Hold onto nothing that is not Me. The power of the Spirit will be demonstrated. I am raising up and supporting those who know me. They will rise on the crest of my waters. They will be taken in the flow of my ways.

remember the dream

Have you ever had a dream or promise from God? It was one that really encouraged you, but that was then …and now when you rethink it the excitement has ebbed. You now just laugh knowing the time has long passed. Well I have a story you should review for yourself. It’s in Genesis chapter 18, the story of promise that seemed to never occur. But one day… Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, and said, "My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. "Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. "And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant."

quiet yourself

Stop! Do not allow the residual noise of life to affect you. The enemy would bombard you with constant noise and lies. Stay next to me. Be within the shadow of my fortress. You don’t need respond to every criticism that flies your way. Learn to quiet yourself in me. Learn to be content where I have placed you. I will quench the darts of those who find their peace in me. Enjoy reading my Word. Savor the time. Ingest my thoughts.

arranging

I call you into new life. I am rearranging and aligning things. You have been saved by the blood of my son. You have been sanctified, set apart for my ways. Do not be surprised, but expect changes. I am calling forth a new order for this day. You have been saved by the blood of my son. You have been sanctified, set apart for my ways. Arise. Stand in Me .

I AM Love

I AM love. I do not demand perfection. Those who are my children walk in love. I do not bring judgment upon those who seek me. I reward those who seek after me. Their hearts learn of me. They are refined to carry more of what I have prepared for them. I am love. Walk with me without fear. I am love. Do not be stalled by intimidation. I am love. I do not bring condemnation. Step closer to me. Receive the joy I have for you. Ask for more of me in your life. Ask to learn my secrets, so I can share more with you. I am God. You are my child. I am preparing you to walk in maturity. As you learn to walk with me you will learn to allow my ways to penetrate your life. You will seek more of me, not for yourself, but more of me for others. You learn not to fear what I have shown you, for you know I am love. I am the God of all truth. Walk in me and I will be glorified. I am the way to life and abundance. I AM the light. Learn to walk in my pure light. You will see me. You will learn to recognize

no disgrace

But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift. Ephesians 4:7 (ESV) My Holy Spirit is preparing you. There is no disgrace to those who are mine. You are mine. My grace is free; it is for you. It is through my blood that abundant life is yours. I am drawing you closer. I am sustaining you. Learn to fall into the arms of my protection. I have fully clothed you. My blood covers the past and present. In me alone you have a future. Release the bonds that seek to hold you. Drink from my pure water. Be refreshed. Allow me to show you my love. Allow my grace to be active in your lie. The world can not understand. It does not know me; it had not yet seen me. I am ever-filling you. Draw nearer to me. Find the freedom you seek. I will clothe you in my majestic colours. Do not miss out. Come to me without fear or shame. I have called you by the name I have given you. Come forth. Come now from wherever you are. My armament is more than sufficient. I am the shie

the corn is falling

It is the season for harvesting. I’ve sent my workers into the fields. I want you to join them. Do not delay. I’ve supplied you with what is needed. Move into the harvest mode. Reap the benefit of moving in sync with me. Be busy in doing what I’ve called for you to do. The fruit need be in before the rain.

Look t the horizon

Look to the horizon and see the small cloud quickly arriving. You can see the dark clouds, but Look closely. I am there upon my throne. Let the eyes of my Spirit direct you to where I sit. I ride amidst the grey clouds. The wind of my Spirit blows across the face of the deep. I am about to release a fresh rain. Be ready, and not afraid of the coming storms. Look for me; You will surely find me. Those who love my Son walk where I direct them. They bring hope. They encourage others to grow. Let the scepter of my love rule within your life. Don’t hold onto the dead ways of the world. I see those that are mine. I see their hearts. They are safe within me. Look for me for I am coming. Expect my presence for I am active and alive. My wind is again moving. Breathe in a fresh breath of my life.

At War

Then he went into the Temple and began driving out those who were busy trading, Luke 19:45 (NJB) Be prepared. You are at war. Be alert at all times, your enemy never rests. Listen for me now, so you might hear me later when the enemy turns up the intensity of noise and distractions. Learn to advance into me. Exercise, so you will grow strong in my ways. There is a constant warring, but be alert. Be discerning as to who is the enemy. Do not battle against one another. Put away you, ‘I want’ and you hurt feelings. Together be drawn to me and my plan. My kingdom is expanding. I need mature soldiers to hold ground and open new territory; those who think of what I am doing and not what is seen in the physical realm. Be prepared. Be clothed in my protective righteousness. I have provided and will continue to provide all that is needed. Be ready for I am calling forth new warriors. Those relying upon me will be safe and prosper. They will move forth in ways yet revealed. While the skies are i

My People

Be not discouraged. Look to me. In me there is life. Allow me to teach you my ways. Learn from what I am doing. In you is my life. Be alert. I am working. I am teaching you my ways and showing you my heart. Consider your night seasons; See me actively moving on your behalf. I am filling my people. My goodness overflows you. My grace is abundant for those who move on my behalf. My heavenly agents are moving. They travel back and forth across the earth. They are on assignment. Expect that I will be with you. Seek me at every turn. Test each opportunity. Be prepared in me. Eat the truth of my Word and be satisfied.

I am revealing myself

So then whether we are alive or away, we make it our ambition to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil. 2 Corinthians 5:9-10 (NET) You are mine. I have called you and equipped you. Seek after me. Be one who is continually calling out and seeking me. Lift your voice that I might answer. I am revealing myself to you. I have called you to righteousness, receive my impartation. Fear not, for you carry my name. All that I have is available to you. As you walk in humility you will see my power extended. Those that dwell in my shadow shall prosper; No evil will prosper against you. Do not respond in anger, but bless those who curse you. It is my heart to remove them from darkness. I have called you to walk in places that others have failed. In me, you will succeed. In me you will rise up to rescue the oppressed. I am all you need. Know who you are in me; Tru

claim the land

My people hate what is evil. Your walk is to be one that destroys the way of the enemy. Claim the land. I have given you the earth and its fullness. In my authority you can rule, tearing down the demonic strongholds. I send you forth, empowered in love. Walk in integrity. Live in humility. Walk in the way I have set forth for you. Do not compare yourself with others, but be united in me. I have commissioned you and trained you. Go forth. Rely upon me and you shall be successful. Use the weapons I have supplied, not what seems handy. Be fed by my Word and you will hear me clearly. Do what you know is right, without hesitation. Increase your awareness. Learn to identify enemy with spiritual discernment. Follow me and watch the great things I will do. Wash yourself in the truth of me. Speak no lies. Avoid your tendency of conceit. There are others I have brought along side of you. Work together and scatter the enemy. I am tearing free the bonds. I am releasing freedom from the enemy. Fe

into the storm

For they all saw Him and were agitated (troubled and filled with fear and dread). But immediately He talked with them and said, Take heart! I AM! Stop being alarmed and afraid. And He went up into the boat with them, and the wind ceased (sank to rest as if exhausted by its own beating). And they were astonished exceedingly [beyond measure], For they failed to consider or understand [the teaching and meaning of the miracle of] the loaves; [in fact] their hearts had grown callous [had become dull and had lost the power of understanding]. And when they had crossed over, they reached the land of Gennesaret and came to [anchor at] the shore. As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people] recognized Him, And they ran about the whole countryside, and began to carry around sick people on their sleeping pads or mats to any place where they heard that He was. Mark 6:50-55 (AMP) Come my people. Draw near me. Each day draw nearer. Repel the fear that would seek to cover you. Release your life

the white bird shell

Then I [Wisdom] was beside Him as a master and director of the work; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing before Him always, Rejoicing in His inhabited earth and delighting in the sons of men. Proverbs 8:30-31 (AMP) Thursday evening (08/31) I was talking with God as I walked the dogs. I explained that I really wanted to see him when I heard Him answer. “Look around” he said. So as I looked around me I could see a white bird egg cradled in the grass beside me. The egg was mostly intact, but without the top, where a new bird must have recently emerged. I recognized the shell as a message, and did think it pretty late in the season for a new bird to be hatching. The next day, He gave me more revelation. Why would it seem strange that I give new life? I bring forth life in the proper season. In many ways I could now more clearly relate. While it may seem late in life for you to emerge from the shell provided, He was made the way. He has created us for this particular season. He will pro

Hunger for me

Hunger for me. Develop an appetite for my wordand I will feed you. In me are the words of life.Thirst for what I can offer. My way will quench that void deep within.Do not grow weary, but draw strength from me.Do not become bloated and satisfied with what the world will offer you.Reach for me. Let me answer your problems. Do not be afraid or ashamed.I have placed a hunger within you. Be drawn to me and my people. Learn to look for me in your daily walk.

From the beginning

From the beginning you were mine. I called you. I created you in my image. You have been precious to me from the start. I have watched over you, seeing you grow, becoming more like me. I reveal myself for you each step you take. You are growing in maturity. Leaning on me you grow. My heart beats with excitement when I see you. I watch as your spiritual nature becomes stronger and stronger. Each day I look for you. I watch each night as you sleep; planting and cultivating deep within you. I stir up within you gracelettes you’d not previously know. As you mature in them a new anointing flows forth. Favour raises its head. I have called you and continue to call after you. My image is becoming clearer. Your eyes are beginning to see the things that were once hidden. In my Word there will be more revealed. Wisdom stretches forth her arms. Hold her dearly. You will learn to stand firm. My courts await you. In them you will grow. In them you will see the creatures that surround me. Through th

Enter in

Enter into my rest. Eat at my table. Be refreshed and satisfied in me. I am your shield and defender. I am the doorway. No one enters without my knowledge. No harm comes to those relying upon me. Pick up my standard. Hold the banner high that all may identify it. I will perform my ways. My Spirit is neither weak nor lax. Be found doing what I am doing. Intercede for those things and people I show you. Rely upon me. Do not be trapped in the snare of performance. Once again, my light will guide the way. Stand your ground. Do not give way. Come closer to me so I may shield you. The evil one will tempt you with what seems good. My sword can pierce any armour. My word can heal any wound.

Explore with me

Explore with me. Be refreshed in what I am doing. Even when things appear quiet and hopeless, come to me. I am near. I’ve not moved away. Let your faith be buoyed into trust. Cling to what you know is truth. I am unchanging. Speak truth that your ears may hear. Bring your weary and woes to me. I am a God of comfort. I will sustain you. My presence brings refreshing for those seeking after me, and judgment for those that oppose me. Learn to rest in me. Retire, withdraw and enjoy our time together. Encourage one another. Pray and intercede that I might act for my people. My presence brings healing. Do not wait. Come to me. Seek me with your heart. Allow me to lead you. Sanctify your imagination for what I shall soon show you. Close your eyes and dream with me. I am the voice calling you. I am whispering your name. Listen, can you hear me? I am here. Find what I am saying. Listen for me. I am calling you. Explore my worlds. My Spirit is flowing like the wind. Receive Him. Ho, everyone wh

restoration and shaking

I am a God of restoration. I am restoring that which has been stolen and lost. My people, come to me. Draw near. Close the door to those things that steal from you. Be sealed by my spirit of life. My kingdom stands firm. Ask for me. Do not be satisfied with what you’ve seen or read of me. There will be a great grounding shaking. Do not be afraid. I have prepared you for this time. Those I know will be safe from the pestilence to come. No weapon shall harm you. Be prepared. I am calling you. I am moving in my people. I am positioning my people for the soon-coming times. My wind is already starting to blow. I have marked you. You are mine. Be secure in what I have placed within you. My righteousness will show forth. I am standing for those who stand firm. I am working with and for those who are working with me. My angelic hosts await my word.

Now arise

The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to the prisoners; Isaiah 61:1 (NRSV) You hear me. You know my voice. Now follow me. Come forth and eat at my table. You have passed into new life in me. No longer are the cords wrapped about your wrists, nor does the shroud of death envelop you. I have given you my name. You are mine. Arise as my light. Crash the gates of hell which seek to trap others. Do not be ashamed. Hold the light high, so the walls of the enemy will fail. My word will deliver the oppressed. My words spoken through you will bring forth hope. Now arise. Walk in a new confidence. I am with you. I will guide you. I am your provider. Uphold my words of truth and shatter the lies of the enemy. When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet bo

through this tme

Through this time of stress and dryness: Come and drink. In your weariness: Look to me. As the climate changes about you and new enemies seem to appear: Seek the peace I have for you. In your hunger for more of me: Feed those in need. While finances seem thin and uncertain: Give generously to those who are less fortunate. Do not withhold my goodness from others. You are rich in what they need. Learn to open your heart in new ways. Become perceptive in what I am doing. Look to me and I will be found. I am changing the world through you: Drink fully of my refreshment.

with me

Do not be weary or become discouraged. Set your heart in me. I am the refreshing. Come, and eat at my table. Be found with me. Let me supply for you what is needed. It is my pleasure for you are mine. Sit at my table and eat richly. Feast with me and be satisfied. Be renewed in me. Bathe in my joy. I will overflow you. Be anointed in my goodness and grace.

my warkings

Stop the internal murmuring. It is not a part of the vocabulary I have given you. I am the creator God. I have created you whole. Within me you have no lack. My blessing is released through faith. Agitation is swept away as you are with me. My presence washes away the filters and allows light to penetrate your heart. I desire that you come to a fuller knowledge of my ways and wholeness. You ask for more of me and that is good; yet exercise the provision you’ve already received. Do not be satisfied with lack and what the law offers. My righteousness is not there. Move into grace and promise. You have the opportunity of freedom. Stop dwelling on your perceived lack. Do not put on the yoke of slavery. Wear what I have provided for you; royal clothes of righteousness are for you. Walk more fully in the ways of my Spirit. In and through me is the self-control and patience you lack. In me and my ways are found goodness, kindness and gentleness. My Spirit will bear you up. You will be taken
I must admit I have waited regarding this message I recieved early this week. I had asked for a word and got it Monday morning on my way to work. At that point it was too dark to write any more than the word, reprise . But without a doubt I kept thinking upon the word and the application it could have in my life. That was the message, for you, as a reader. The father speaks reprise to you. Prayerfully consider how he may apply it to you and through you in these coming days. Reprise It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. Proverbs 25:2 (NIV)

more of me

Turn off the distractions. You say you want more of me, that you wish to be used; That too is my desire. Take a step in my direction. Listen to see if I don’t respond. Withdraw to a place of solitude Where we can be close: A place where you can feel secure. Be flexible in me. My Spirit is moving. Join me. Each day I desire to speak with you. Each day there are opportunities intended to draw you nearer to me. Come into alignment. Be beneath my umbra. In my shadow you can see the winds howl, yet you remain safe. The arms of death cannot reach my children. Turns towards me; seek me in your day and night. Listen for me for I am speaking to you and through others. Learn to recognize me. I wish to communicate more with you. Desire more of me and receive me.

talking to you

I am talking to you. I have good things for you. Your welfare is in my heart. You are mine. Increase your expectation. You are being prepared. As you learn to abide in me New anointings are released. Do not hesitate. Walk in them. As you say, Yes God, Ask for more, be ready! There is a new release for those who allow me to work in their character. I have said it before; Be not afraid!

birds on the front lawn

I am the God of righteousness. Examine yourself. Turn from those things that keep you away from me. Return. Eat fully of my Word. With it is life. Within it are my ways and revelation. Cleanse yourself from iniquity. Be washed in the Word. Allow my Spirit to flow over you. He brings no condemnation. Examine yourself. I see birds on the front lawn that should not be there. Clean up that which has been left discarded. If you judge yourself rightly there is restoration. I will be compelled to act on your behalf. Dreams and words that now seem dry and shriveled will again flourish. They will grow in my presence. Ask me in expectation and I will bring healing. I will pour forth my oil And anoint you. My Spirit will lie heavily upon you And you shall prosper. Walk upright and I will show you my promises. My kingdom is near; come and participate with me.

Look to me

Look to me. In all your thoughts and actions, look to me. I am there. Look to me when you are discouraged, having lost sight as to what you should be doing. In making decisions look to me: As you are in the storm or in the fire look to me. In all things, at all times and in all places, Look to me. In seeking me I can answer.

Rely upon me

Rely upon me. I am your GPS. If you take the time, I will show you my direction for you. I am the global positioner. I speak My words so you will know what is needed. I grant dreams of direction and encouragement. Those who seek me are rewarded. I am positioning my people in my plan. Do not be straying about, moving at your own whim. Allow my peace to blanket you. Rest within my borders; No strongman can rob you here

gather into me

Be gathered into me. Washed in the blood of my son, you may draw near. Do not be satisfied with what you now see or know. There is more. I have created you to walk in fullness. I am the way that was provided. In and with the Father are my ways for you. Follow me. Follow the new things I am showing you. There is no failure in those who love the Father. I have created you unique. It is time to gather into me. It is time for a new launch. I am making the nest too small. I am shaking the branches and creating an even greater hunger. Launch forth my eaglets. Though you will fall, I will catch you on my wings. Though you seem to plummet, fly. Set your vision on me and not what is seen. I have sent forth the mature ahead of you. They will direct you. Listen to my Words. I am speaking. I speak through those lives entered into me. Strengthen yourself in me. Embrace the food I have for you. I am supplying what you need. Grow in me. Fly higher. Fly up to me. I am calling you out of what seems

Step Closer

Step into my presence. Allow me to unfold my ways. Come closer. Do not be frightened by the clouds or the thunder. Withdraw into me. I will enfold you in my protection. Release your anxieties. Experience me more fully. I am all you need. Be intoxicated in me. Surround yourself in my ways, leaving the circumstances to melt away. I am reforming your life. I am causing change from within you. I am the way. I am the spirit of truth. Without me nothing exists. I am the good teacher. Study my ways that I may show you more. I am unfolding new revelation to a people who will listen. I am divulging secrets to those eager and willing to learn. Learn who I am. I am he who rides the clouds. The wind of my Spirit flows about. He will lead you into fullness of life. Behold the face of my Son and learn who I am. Come closer into me and behold new things. Learn of completeness and experience my acceptance. I am waiting. Step closer into me.

watching the time

Just as I watched over them to uproot and tear down, and to overthrow, destroy and bring disaster, so I will watch over them to build and to plant," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 31:28 (NIV) God watches over our lives. He has been speaking to many about seeing or knowing the seasons and time. I find it interested how he speaks. For me, it’s often in everyday circumstances that he highlights items. In our family we have two cocker spaniel puppies, so we take frequent walks to exercise them. One of the dogs has always been proud to find things she can carry during our walks. She’ll hold a stick or something she finds interesting in her mouth as we walk. When she finds the prize the way she walk changes. She now struts in show-cocker style and holds her tail-stub upright. This week was no different. We were on an early evening walk when I felt her pulling at the leash to go further into someone’s front yard. I paid little attention until I saw something dangling from her month. Upon cl

Awaken in the night

Awaken in the night and find me. I am moving about you, Stirring up and instilling my ways and purposes. Let your spirit awaken. Watch the time for I am calling. Be alert in your inner-man and grow. Ask me for more. Desire all I have for you. I am signaling acceleration for my people. Those who seek me shall find me. Spend time in me. Let go of needless activity. Do not become discouraged, nor listen to the lies of abandonment. Hold on. I am preparing those who will be ready for what will seem like an acceleration. I am preparing you so you might be successful in me. Turn not your ear away; continue to listen. Find me in the night-seasons.

Move higher

It is time to move higher. Soar into the unknown. Move upward with purpose; Ride upon the wings of my Holy Spirit. Come to me. Come up and sit in my presence. Turn from what seeks to keep you in a snare. Turn your face to my son. Do not hesitate. Come higher in me. I will open your eyes to what is important. I have created you. Shed old and immature feathers. Be renewed. I will cover you with my oil of preservation and refreshing. Come into new heights. Move higher in the purpose I have planted in you.

Be ready to move forth

There will be a crossing over; a time when my people will learn to walk upon the stones I have set forth and not stumble. Each marker has its purpose. Be ready to move forth. I have set forth those who will lead. They have been this way before and have learned to trust in what I direct. The pattern has been set. There will be unity and diversity. The lazy and self-minded will be left behind. They will not hear the clear call. Their eyes will not see the banners passing raised before them. Be ready to move forth. I am the Lord of Hosts. In me there is no lack. I have overwhelmed the enemy and washed away the wickedness that seeks to overtake you. I am leading before you now that you might remove the obstacles and settle the regions I have already promised you. Be prepared for new ways.

life abundant

I speak life into you. I prophesy newness and a renewed joy from the Holy Spirit of God. I prophesy new streams of living water to freely flow from you. I speak newness of life and purpose everywhere you place your feet. I curse that which comes against you. I bind the lies and cast them away. I bind the ways of God upon you and your family. To you I speak life abundant.

Into Your Home

Watch your home. Be on guard; Take care. Be mindful of what friends may bring in. Be quick to clean up the messes, lest they become comfortable, stay and invite their friends. There are birds of the air. They fly about, observing. They come to steal life of the young or careless. What are you listening to, or allowing unchecked? Ask me, that your eyes be opened. For those of you who are given much, much will be expected. Multiply my ways. Much has been planted; yet continue to examine the harvest. Not all is from me. I have given you eyes that may discern. My Spirit will guide you into all truth. Ask and receive. Be sharpened by my Word. Let truth be heard from your lips. Let it be carried forth on compassion.
Let the eyes of your heart be opened. Allow the veil to be pealed away. Be zealous for me. Seek my ways that I might hear you and answer. Turn away from what assails you. It seeks to dull your vision. It is in opposition to me. Appose the way of the enemy by being hidden in me. Do not draw attention to yourself or what I am doing through you. There is more. There are more anointings for those who remain in me. There is fresh manna for what I am about to do. Let the eyes be opened by my Spirit so you might see what we are doing. Let your heart be burdened for what burdens me. Allow me to cut away the calluses that insulate you. Be tender in my ways. Lean on me and my ways. I am brining refreshing for those who are dry. Within the new levels of trust come new ways of releasing me. Keep yourself from sin. Avoid that which you know is wrong. Seek to draw nearer to me and I will reveal what needs to fall away. Turn from accusing one another. Do not become the judge of your brother, less I j

Realignment

I am calling for proper alignment. Many of my children are feeling busyness. You have over extended yourself in that, “I can do it” mentality. That is not my plan. I’ve not called you to overextend. It’s time to learn to step back. This is a warning for those who’ve already ignored this message. I will begin to prune so you might return to me and away from your ministries. I am to be your ministry. You who know you are overextended, refresh in me. How can I lead you into the deep ways when you are always busy? Some of you are to step away now. Many of you are to allow the new leaders to replace yourself. Be sensitive to me and not to your “I ams”. Return to me. In your time with me I will re-sensitize you to what I am calling you to do now. Be fulfilled in me. Allow me to minister through you. You may be surprised with where I am leading you. I am all you will require. Align your spirit with my Spirit And flourish in this coming season.

Memorial Day 2006

"And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of compassion and supplication, so that, when they look on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a first-born. Zechariah 12:10 (RSV) Intercessors arise. It is time to lift forth the ways and promises of our father. Let your words pour forth. Let the supplications of you hearts reach into the heavenly courts. It is time for a new outpouring. Let it begin in our hearts and pour forth wherever we walk. Let there be a new full release of Pentecost; a sweeping of the Holy Spirit across the face of an expectant earth. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; Romans 8:19-20 (RSV) Like the earth calling forth, let us who know Jesus face, also call forth for the w

A new realm

I am God, your maker; I am the creator of all, the restorer. I am the God who speaks to his people. I am the one waiting for you to draw nearer. Come closer to me, that we might speak face to face. My spirit, in all seven, is moving about the earth. Invite me to be active within your life. Cross over into a new realm of sight. As you learn to trust me, you will see me at work. As you spend time in and with me, new strategies will emerge. I am the God who is calling your name. I wish to draw you into a new relationship, to take you places you’ve not yet seen nor imagined. Before time was created, I saw you. I know your ways. Invite me. I will not fail to come. Listen for me now. My spirit is speaking.

Be warmed

Become like the flowers of the field. Turn your face to the son. Stretch upward, reaching the potential I have reserved for you. I have planted you. I am continually Cultivating experiences so you might grow and blossom. My gifts I have set inside you Will be made manifest as fruit. It is for others to taste and receive nourishment. Inside the fruit are the sees of a new generation. Turn your face to my son and be warmed.

Sit before me

Sit before me in silence. Low the eyes of your heart to guide you, Not what you see or think what should be. Each time you come I am there And you grow more like my son. Bow your attitude. Place it in subjection to the spirit. I will guide you. Allow my spirit to grant impartations so you may grow in maturity. I am moving towards those who will seek me. I see your heart. I know what bombards you and how you react. At night I have visited you. My angelic forces even now are there. I have given them assignments. Sit with me. Work through the distractions of your body and soul. Commune with me, allow me to show you what I am about to do. My plans for you have not changed. My love for you has not weakened nor waned. Sit that I might strengthen you. Yes, learn to sit before me.

Sound the alarm

Sound the alarm. There are those dying who need not die. Call forth the soldiers. There are captives to be set free. I call forth my army to release reconciliation every day, every place they walk. Sound the alarm. There are children being murdered and abused. Release praise into the atmosphere. Send forth the shouts of praise into the highest heavens, that angelic response maybe released. Sound the alarm. It is time for the equipped saints to become equippers. It is time for the action of reclamation. Bring freedom and healing to those who have yet to know me. You have been called to action. I am releasing a new commission. Let there be a shout of affirmation rising up. Let there be a new responsive that allows me to grant new gifts and strategies. Sound the alarm. Listen for those who carry my apostolic message. I am directing them into new duties. I am releasing fresh prophetic eyes and ears to accompany them. My army will work as a team. My legion of soldiers will demonstrate the s

Releasing

I am washing. I am about to release a cleansing. There is a rain available to those who will walk in. There is a time of cleansing; a way for those who will, to draw nearer to me. The fire has burned many of you. You have been tested. The fire has burned away that which is needless and useless. Now allow my spirit to wash away the residue. Watch carefully what you allow back in; for there is a seven-fold return soon-coming. Weigh fully what you see at the door. Do not be afraid of this rain. It will be different from what you have seen. It will be a new expression of me: A flooding you’ve not experienced. I am washing away not only the ash of the past and the ash of the present. I desire to flow freely within you. I am waiting those who will allow me to wash away the ash of their future. I desire to flow. I wish to show you a new flood of my ways. No longer am I satisfied to take the path you wish me to travel. No longer will I be happy in following narrow man-made trenches. My rain is

I am about to rush

I am about to rush upon my people. My power is to come upon my children. I am releasing new zeal for my kingdom. I am freely flowing upon those who will serve me in obedience. New ways are being to be exhibited. New thought patterns that you’ve not yet experience are being created. They are being released to bring children from the streets instantly into the kingdom. There is a coming release of my glory as your imaginations and feet move in concert with my word. The written word will become alive. It will leap from the page and into your experience. There will be those who will live-out the living word, experiencing what I have already written; experiencing what is ever-occurring within my kingdom. I am releasing new warriors to do my bidding. If you are asking for me, then draw closer to me. In this nearness I will overpower you love. There is no fear in love as I rush with purity over my people. It is time for the greater things to be released. It is time for the greater deeds to b

ready for the battle

Draw back your bowstring. Take aim to let your arrows fly. Abiding in me your arrow finds its mark. In my strength the battle is won. Draw back. Come into the safety I offer. I am your shelter. My warriors stand! They stand together. Each division uses the gifts they’ve received. Stand ready for battle. Move forth upon my word. Do not act upon what you see. Listen carefully for I will direct you. I will guide your every move. Wait upon me else you will not succeed. Obedience is reward. It is better than the sacrifice of your time. Stand resolute with me. Stand within my shadow.

a new revolution

I am calling you to a new revolution. It’s a call to me. It’s the vision of my love and restitution. There’s a call to the restoration of all my children. I am calling you. Stand up. Let my son be seen in you. Release the bonds that hold you. Drop the cords of the past. Spread my truth. Let it begin in your life. Know the value you are. Realize the depth of my love for you. Redesign your thoughts into my thoughts. Step forth into a new boldness, a new humility of my sonship.

Ask me

Ask me the tough questions. Come to me and ask. Bring me your doubts and pains. Be assured I love you. Come to me that we might talk. Sit and converse with me. Quiet yourself. In the busyness of your mind you are not hearing clearly. Learn to relax in me. To hear me with assuredness talk with me that I might share my heart. Let my plan for you begin to unfold. My kingdom is at hand.

Lessons from Judges Chapter 13

A few lessons for the soon-coming times of increased supernatural activity from Judges 13. We can deduce that the number 13 is not always a bad number. Again the people of Israel did what the Lord said was wrong. So he handed them over to the Philistines for forty years. (Judges 13:1) We can not expect God to overlook our overt sin, yet He will never forsake us. He is will test us so we might learn, repent and turn back to him. There was a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan, who lived in the city of Zorah. He had a wife, but she could not have children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah's wife and said, "You have not been able to have children… (Judges 13:2-3a) God is watching. We can expect unexpected supernatural intervention. God himself will show up when things are naturally hopeless. The miraculous intervention will be shown to the nameless and unknown. …but you will become pregnant and give birth to a son. (Judges 13:3b) God has great expectations and will gr
