Do not be satisfied in assuming I’m only talking to others. Allow my Spirit to move freely in your life. Receive my fullness. Know the love my Son has for you. I am constantly communicating with all who will expectantly listen. Quiet yourself, so you can learn to recognize my voice. Learn to walk in more of me. I am a jealous God. Get up from your laziness and come into my presence. Ask me into your life with more than your lips. Ask me with the need of your heart. I am speaking to you in the night times. I am the voice you hear while you work. Increase your expectancy that I would choose you. I have plans that were created for you. You are where you are because of my will. Be bold in me. I am your Father and protection. Learn to ask of me and you will learn how to receive. Sit with me and be changed. Move now as I lead you. Ask for directio...

"You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms; Jeremiah 51:20 (NKJV) I was reading email today during my lunch-time. As I was opening a newe-mail, I saw the words, in bold letters, "Pick up the Battle Ax". When Ihad fully opened the email to read it, there were no similar words, so Iknew God was speaking to me. As I asked him about this, he gave me these words: Pick up the sword I have given you. Now is not the time to be bashful or to hold back. Lift it to a ready position. Strengthen yourself in my written word. Ingest the truths I have for you. Be found with others of a like-mind.Do not be brash, but neither be caught by surprise. The enemy is real. Hecomes to kill those who oppose him. Stand beneath my shadow and beprotected.Pick up the sword and strengthen your arms. Raise them in praise of me. Find your strength in the light of my word. Eat of me daily. Come boldly to me for forgiveness ...

I will spring upon you. My ways will cover your life. I will bring those who come against you and curse you to their utter destruction. I am sending forth my blessings. My curse will weigh heavily upon those that curse you. Seek after me for all of your needs. You can have no secrets. Trust me with all of your will. The enemy can not penetrate the weight of my anointing. His plans will go awry. Do not walk carelessly from beneath my protection. I have chosen you. But each day you must chose me, so my goodness and blessings can overtake you.

I am moving ahead, bringing birth to new ways and new ideas. I am moving forwards with the plans created from the beginning. I am on the move, springing ahead. I am causing circumstances or thoughts of change into your life. I am propelling forward my people. In this next short season I am causing a rapid advancement. Already I am searching. My eyes are looking for those to move forward in advancement. I am rewarding those who move with an expectation. I am promoting those who continue to seek more of me. Those who have not resisted my preparation will be springing ahead.

I have known you since the beginning. There is nothing you have done or will do I am not already aware of. You are mine. I set you firmly into this time for my purposes. I have gifted you with all that is needed. I open my rooms to you. Seek me in these hard times and you will find strength. Look deeply into the eyes of my son and see clearly once again.

Know the love I have for you. Invite me into those secret rooms that healing may come.

To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men--robbers, evildoers, adulterers--or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.' "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Luke 18:9-14 (NIV) A few reflections on these verses of scripture: Do we realize that “what” we do has nothing to do with our right standing in God? They went to the temple to pray. The synagogue would have likely been closer...

I was sent, so I send you into the world. I am the light. Be filled with me and my light will shine through you to those in the world. They will recognize my light within you. You are the light of the world.

I am the Holy Spirit, your friend. I am with you, guarding you in every step. I am directing you to the Son, your bride-groom. I’m that voice which whispers to you. Ever-present, I am brooding over you, teaching you his ways. I am the blowing wind and the wings of the descending dove. I show you the way to him. I visit you, wooing you. I speak to you and communicate revelation in your sleep and I awaken you to a new holiness. I am like a mighty wind and a quiet whisper. I am the bridge into the new ways of the father. I am your friend. Continue to listen for me for I am your counselor.

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...

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.

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....

"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.

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. 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.

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.

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...

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. ...

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. 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...
