“Now at one point the Pharisees asked Jesus when the kingdom of God was coming, so he answered, “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭17:20-21‬ ‭NET‬‬

“Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs out now. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”  ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:19‬ ‭WEB‬‬

Hope of all hopes, dream of our dreams,     a child is born, sweet-breathed; a son is given to us: a living gift. And even now, with tiny features and dewy hair, He is great.     The power of leadership, and the weight of authority, will rest on His shoulders. His name? His name we’ll know in many ways—     He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Dear Father everlasting, ever-present never-failing,     Master of Wholeness, Prince of Peace. His leadership will bring such prosperity as you’ve never seen before—     sustainable peace for all time. This child: God’s promise to David—a throne forever, among us,     to restore sound leadership that cannot be perverted or shaken. He will ensure justice without fail and absolute equity. Always.     The intense passion of the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies,     will carry this ...

Dear ( your name ) In this season I wish to remind you of my great love for you.  I see much within you, and have further plans in your life for my kingdom ways.   My ways and gifts are within you. Pour them forth and more will appear. Grow in me and what I have provided. My anointing is smeared upon your head.   I have challenges for you yet to be accomplished. Be washed and refreshed by the water of my Word. It will guide you and fill you with Truth.   Awaken to those I have sent before you. Do not imitate, but learn from them.   Allow me to spend time with you. Soak in my presence. I will wash away circumstances which have encumbered you. My peace will overflow you.

It is a new season.  Look beyond what you sense is possible; I am already there and waiting for you.   Learn a new reliance upon me. I am already there for you. I will give you the words to speak and a new heart.   There re new things bubbling up from within you. My Spirit is within you, shaping and directing you. I have been molding you before you even knew me.   Fear Not:  In this coming season I have things which you can do only through my grace and authority. I have an overwhelming favor within you, bubbling up.

It is time to awaken what I have placed within you. Open your eyes to what is possible through me. Wash the windows; Clean away the grime of the past.   Allow me to awaken you and guide you. I am here with you. Fear not, but rely upon me. Learn the strength of being in me.   I AM the creative light and you are mine. You are light which the world needs. Fear not what is coming, but see me.   Awaken to my ways for I am opening more to those who seek me. I am communicating my love and direction; seek me. Wash yourself in my Word; feed yourself the Word.

During a Saturday afternoon walk, I saw a large man. He seemingly appeared where it had been previously no one. He was dressed in all black and had a longer, dark beard. A few minutes later, as I was looking for this man, he was not to be found. Now there was a smaller, clean-shaven man walking.     We were driving in the car early this Sunday morning. I was looking for the moon, when I saw it seemingly directly in front of me. It stood large and white against the yet-dark skies. It was quite noticeable and impressive -the only super-moon for this ending calendar year.   I was glad to be able to again see the moon as I was on my way for the early-morning walk.  But now, I saw no moon. I turned every direction, but could no longer visualize the moon. I was puzzled and queried Father-God.   The answer was clear and pointed: "Because you can not see it, does that mean it does not exist?"

Stand firm. This is not the time to declare your fear. Speak forth the truth and in love conquer your fears. Declare truth with your mouth, so that your ears may hear. Be reliant upon what God has supplied and not what you feel you need.   Call upon the name of Jesus. Declare praises to Him alone Be firm in what he has told you; standing upon his word.

“If He should determine to do so, If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath, All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust. Job 34: 14-15 (NASB)

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! Psalms 107:1 (ESV)

I will not keep silent because of Zion, and I will not keep still because of Jerusalem, until her righteousness shines like a bright light and her salvation, like a flaming torch. Nations will see your righteousness and all kings, your glory. You will be called by a new name that the LORD’s mouth will announce. You will be a glorious crown in the LORD’s hand, and a royal diadem in the palm of your God. Isaiah 62:1-3 (HCSB)

“Then I said, 'What are these, my lord?' The angel who talked with me said to me, 'I will show you what they are.' So the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered, 'These are they whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth.'”  ‭Zechariah‬ ‭1:9-10‬ ‭(ESV‬‬)

Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But one who keeps the law is blessed.   Proverbs 29:18 (WEB)

The creator God says... Awaken, It is time to step into the things which I have for you.   Do not hold back, but allow me to work thru you.

For in him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge-- because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 1 Corinthians 1:5-7 (NIV)

I was on a recent morning walk with my dog. We went up a set of steps to get onto the bike-path.  At the top she turned left then slowed her pace and looked at me. There was a man not far from where we’d go.  She again looked at me, and then moved to my right side. The man seemed real enough, but strange that he had a set of bar bells. There were three pair of weights.  He was carrying a set of the weights towards the steps. He had left the bars in the middle obstructing the pathway.  In reality I'd thought we had been the only car in the parking area in the direction this "man" was heading.

Speak my word in love.

"If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.” Jeremiah 29: 13

  Do not grow weary or confused.  If you seek me you will find me. I will demonstrate my power and righteousness through those who know me. You will recognize them by the authority and abundance of my love.  Continue to ask me for wisdom, for you shall surely receive it. Spread my  truth in love, for there are many who need me. Remove the spiders from your life. Do not ignore them or they will multiply.  Continue listening for me for I am communicating with my creation. Know my love and draw near. Ask me, so I might supply your needs. Nothing shall keep me away from those I love. Knock down the lies and high places of my enemies. There rebuild my altars for I am holy. I am placing a new mantle about your shoulders. It will conceal a sash of  blue and gold. Remain covered in me. Those that are actively seeking me will find me. I will be their great  reward.

  So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God .  Romans 10:17
