Do not be afraid of what is coming. Word Received 6.4.2024

 Do not be afraid of what is coming. Do not fear and do not lose hope. All these things must happen but the end is not yet. Do not think you have nothing left to do. There is much to do and I am waiting for My people to respond to Me in awe and reverence. Seek My will and purposes and I will lead you into supernatural encounters that will bless many in My Name. I am with you to guide you so you do not stumble. I have My everlasting arms around you so you will not fall. You are precious to Me as My beloved child. Do not fear for I am with you until the end of all things in this life and so much more beyond.

Be watchful and mindful. Word Received 6.4.2024

 Be watchful and mindful for the enemy prowls around like a lion seeking whom he may devour. Do not be food for him but awake to righteousness. Seek righteousness according to My Kingdom. Seek it and do not stray far from it. The enemy is coming to plunder My people but I have given them everything they need to defend themselves in My Name. You are not powerless or defenseless. You have been given great authority if you choose to stand in it and proclaim My purposes. Do not think you are defeated when I have won for you a costly victory. Do not think you are helpless when I have given you My Holy Spirit in full measure to those who earnestly seek Me. Do not desire the corruption of this world but follow Me in righteousness and you will see My strong hand in your life.

There is a great deliverance coming on the Earth. Word Received 6.4.2024

 There is a great deliverance coming on the Earth for My people who have been persecuted without cause. The enemy has raged against them because they are My Beloved. The nations have raged against them because they are under a great delusion and have lost what is true. I am coming to deliver My people as their Beloved Kinsman Redeemer and they will fall in love with Me again. Where their hearts have been cold the fire of My love will rekindle them, where their minds have been dull to My Kingdom I will give them fresh vision and purpose. I will indeed pour out My Spirit on all flesh and you will see an extraordinary change happening to My people. You will rejoice and be amazed at My goodness towards My people for I have remained faithful to them and all the promises in My Word. Watch and see what I will do on their behalf and rejoice for My blessing will flow through them to others in My Name.

Deliverance is coming for My people. Word Received 6.4.2024

 Deliverance is coming for My people who have endured harsh persecution because of their love for Me. I will honor them where they have been dishonored and comfort them where they have been abandoned. I am coming with My great deliverance to pull many from the enemy's camp where they have been in turmoil and torment. I will deliver them to a place of peace and rest and their souls will know what it is to be alive for the first time. My great deliverance is coming to unjust situations where people have been persecuted without cause. I will be their great Redeemer as they look to Me and My ways. I am coming to judge the world in righteousness and people from all nations will see My deliverance in these days.

Because you will not listen to my voice. Word Received 4.3.2024

 Because you will not listen to My voice, because you choose to go your own way, because you will not seek My face you will be in the wilderness. Just as the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 years so My people wander for lack of contact with Me. They hear stories about Me but they do not know Me in their hearts. They know who I am but they do not honor Me or create space in their lives to be truly present with Me. They are not concerned for My purposes but for things that can bring benefit to themselves rather than to others. They are slow to seek Me and do not want to press into My purposes because their own agendas seem more appealing and interesting. They have lost their fear of Me and do not respect Me as they should. I have all of this against them and yet My great love is still towards them and My unfinished purposes still wait for those who are willing to respond to Me in this late hour. The reward for faithfulness is in and of itself. There is no greater reward than to walk closely with Me and be led by My Spirit. There is no greater joy than to have fellowship with My Holy Spirit and to be fully in My presence. Seek Me and you will find Me in this day. Lay aside everything else that hinders you from being truly alive in My purposes and walk forward with Me as My beloved as I cry out to you.

The enemy is coming to steal from My people. Word Received 4.3.2024

 The enemy is coming to steal from My people because they have left the door open and allowed him access to their inner rooms. They have not been diligent to keep their hearts pure from the corruption of this world and so the enemy has been granted legal access into the depths of people's souls to twist and to tear what I intended for them. There is a great loss and a great mourning for what has been given over to the enemy and My heart yearns for My people to understand what is happening to them before it is too late. Change your mind, change your heart and return to Me. I will wash you with the water of My Word and cleanse you by the power of My Holy Spirit. I will shut the doors of your heart so the enemy cannot walk in and out to steal and to destroy. I will put My hedge around you and you will walk in safety even through the chaos and destruction that is coming on the Earth in unprecedented ways. Take courage for I am with you. Open your heart to Me and I will show you My great power and love to redeem and to restore. Now is the time to listen to My voice and respond to Me. 

Don't listen to his voice

 Don't listen to his voice,

the one who hates you and would see 

the destruction of your soul.

He is the father of lies, 

and no truth can come from him.

His very nature twists and turns.

He is serpentine in every way.

Don't listen to his voice when he puts you down,

or tells you that you'll fail,

you will never amount to anything,

you will not succeed, you have no hope, no future.

Don't listen to him or believe him.

Listen to My voice

for I will show you your true worth,

your ability in Me to change the world around you.

Listen to My voice and I will speak words of life,

and hope, 

and Oh there is so much more to My Kingdom.

Listen to Me

and I will show you how much I treasure you.

Be careful who you listen to,

your life depends on it.

In the quiet place I will speak to you. Word Received 4.3.2024

 In the quiet place I will speak to you and show you what you must do. You cannot hear me when there is noise and distraction so if you chose not to enter the quiet place you are choosing not to listen to My voice. I will not shout to you over the noise of your life and I will not raise My voice over the clamor of other voices vying for your attention. There must be purpose in your seeking of Me and not an apathy to being in My presence. Are the distractions of the world so interesting to you that you do not have time for Me? Are the things that are fleeting more precious than those that are eternal? Re-value what is important to you and then seek Me so I can instruct you. I have called you for particular purpose and blessing that no one else can do. Do not leave undone what I have said already and listen to My voice as I lead and guide you through the days to come.

Speak to me Lord

 Speak to me Lord

and I will listen.

Maybe not today,

because I am particularly busy.

Tomorrow looks good.

I can get up early before work,

unless I'm too tired,

and I sleep through my alarm,

and then have to rush into the day.

You know how it is.

Speak to me Lord

and I will listen.

I will turn off my computer,

and mute my notifications.

I can't put my phone on silent completely,

because someone might need

to contact me urgently.

You know how it is.

Speak to me Lord

and I will listen.

I will have to find a time

when my other half

isn't trying to tell me something,

and the children are asleep.

Maybe late at night would work

really well when our home is quiet.

But I may fall asleep quickly.

You know how it is.

Speak to me Lord

and I will listen.

I think I will have to set aside a whole day,

but I don't believe that is going to happen

for the next couple of months.

My job is intense at the moment.

I can hardly take the weekends off.

You know how it is.

Speak to me Lord

and I will listen.

Definitely on a Sunday morning,

when we go to church,

but sometimes we don't make it.

You know how it is. 

There is a violent wind of opposition coming against My people. Word Received 4.3.2024

 There is a violent wind of opposition coming against My people that will set the world on edge. There will be terror and confusion and persecution that flows down from the highest levels of society. There is a battering ram of evil that is seeking to breakthrough into the very center of My people to displace them forever from My purposes. But I will show Myself powerful on their behalf and flip the battering ram so it turns back against the enemy itself. What is intended for harm against My people will become harm for those who hate them. I will do extraordinary things in their midst to show them I am real and I am who I say I am. Watch and see My hand move on behalf of My people. The world will be astonished because they do not understand Me or My purposes on the Earth. Be ready and be willing to participate in all I have for you in this coming time. 

Devastation is coming to this nation. Word Received 4.3.2023

 Devastation is coming to this nation because they have turned aside from My ways to follow a path that leads to the destruction of many lives that are precious to Me. This land is steeped in blood from the past and from the present. The land is groaning under the weight of it and will soon split open to show its pain. Choices have been made that have produced trauma and pain and a misunderstanding and confusion in people's lives that only My Spirit can bring healing to. You will see the earth shake and people be displaced from their homes. You will see My people respond and raise their voices to heaven on behalf of this land. I will turn over what the enemy has been allowed to do as My people cry out to Me. These will be the days of change, of destruction of the enemies' purposes and the construction of something new that I am birthing in this nation through these labor pains. Do not think I have abandoned this nation as you see these things happening. I have not abandoned it. I am holding it strongly and securely out of the enemies grasp.

I am with you

 I am with you,

till the end of the age,

not just till tomorrow

or when I feel like it.

I am constant

as the stars,

as the quiet moon

that reflects glory.

I am a quiet witness

to this worlds raging,

and I will judge all things

in due course,

and at the right time.

There is nothing that escapes My gaze,

no hidden thing against Me.

No slipping away,

I am here to catch your hand,

to stop you falling.

I am here to give you strength,

when you have lost

all of your own.

I am with you,

as you struggle on in your own strength,

willing for you to

give Me your heavy burden

to carry for a while,

until you can truly let it go.

I am with you,

as we approach the dark night,

and My hand will be holding

yours tightly,

so even if you can't see Me

you know I am there.

Tell Me your anxious thoughts,

and I will tell you

the truth about yourself,

and the times that surround you now.

Go to the inner room and pray. Word Received 27.2.2024

 Go to the inner room and pray and you will see My glory manifest in your life. I will not put My seal upon that which costs you nothing. You cannot see My Kingdom come until you press into it by faith and perseverance in the spirit. These things are not child's play so be mature in your response to the leading of My Holy Spirit. Do not presume you can walk into situations without being covered in prayer. This is a war and the requirements of war exist. Do not slumber for this is the time for My people to be fully awake and responsive to the call on your lives. Do not criticize others especially those who are sold out to My purposes even if you do not agree with their methods. I am their judge. Look to your response to what I have asked you to do and be faithful to do it. Get up and do what I have asked you to do and you will know the greatest joy. You are My beloved and as you respond to Me you will see My glory. 

Don't go this Alone

 Don't go this alone,

this steep and winding track

with sheer precipice on one side

and rising cliff face on the other.

Don't go this alone,

this stormy raging sea

with windswept white crests

defying gravity

as thick foam flies from ocean currents.

Don't go this alone,

this little quiet life

you call your own,

and protect so fiercely

with all your fragile might.

Don't go this alone,

this time as you look 

out of the window

from your illness bed and wonder which

hidden path brought you to this place of pain.

Let Me in.

Let Me be with you.

I have walked this hard earth,

and have felt the cruel sting of life,

and even tasted bitter death for you.

I am here

waiting

for your heart response,

even if you don't have the strength to speak,

I know what is in your innermost thoughts.

Receive Me into your life.

Don't go this alone.

 

Rest in Me so you will have strength for your journey. Word Received 18.2.2024

 Rest in Me so you will have strength for your journey. The things of this world will press around you and exhaust you. You must be diligent to spend time in My presence to the exclusion of other things. You cannot do everything so be led by My Spirit about what you should do. Do not become weary in doing good for you shall reap a reward. Prioritize My Kingdom and its values and your life will flow easily. Do not allow pressure from others to overwhelm. I am your Lord and you need to listen to Me. There are many voices calling for your attention. You need to listen for My voice for I will lead you by still waters and I will restore your soul even in the midst of these days of turmoil. I long for My people to know My peace and to walk in it, to know My love to share with others and to be filled by My Spirit in these days. 

Can I have a minute?

Can I have a minute,

just to breathe,

to sit and be still,

and not respond immediately

to everything

and everyone.

Can I have a minute,

to pause,

to reflect,

to not rush past

the 'Selah' of your Word.

Can I have a minute

to grieve,

to recognize 

what I have lost,

and how my life

has changed irrevocably.

Can I have a minute

to choose to say no

to the ever flowing

tide of information,

that demands

something of my soul.

Can I have a minute

to just

be.

Do not fear what is coming on the Earth. Word Received 11.2.2024

 Do not fear what is coming on the Earth. Do not be afraid and do not lose heart. My Word will strengthen you and will be as an anchor in the storm that is coming. The darkness will be so thick and the evil seemingly so strong that many people's hearts will fail. Be strong in My Word and wield it as a sword to cut through the darkness. My Word contains light and hope for the nations and it must be proclaimed loudly to those who would hear. Learn what My Word says so you are not astonished and petrified when these things happen. I have told you and I have warned you to be watchful and to prepare. The night is coming when no one will be able to work. Work now while you are able in the harvest fields and gather in the mighty harvest of souls that are waiting to be reaped. You must work now while there is still enough light to see by. Soon the darkness will extinguish everything except the most powerful lights, those who are radiating the truth of My Word. You have nothing of yourselves that can help in the days to come but in Me all things are possible. Do not fear for I am with you now and always.

Hold My Hand

Hold My Hand

as we step

into this ever present unknown.

The future that does not wait gently for you,

but rises storm like ahead,

with siren sounds

igniting fear.

Hold My Hand

for I have seen the outcome,

and you can be sure

in the end,

all is well

between you and I.

Your trust will reflect

your measure of faith,

as you step forward

into the looming chaos.

Those who know My peace

will be miracle workers

of their day,

for no one else will have the strength

to reach out to others.

Hold My Hand

as we step over the threshold

into the Holy place of My presence,

where fire can burn up dross,

and chains can be broken,

where My Name is hallowed,

and I am truly your Lord.

Hold My Hand

when the night

seems so much longer

than the day,

and the shadows contort

to frighten you.

Hold My Hand

for I will never let go of yours.

Shout from the rooftops that I am coming soon. Word Received 4.2.2024

 Shout from the rooftops that I am coming soon. Shout aloud praise to My Name. Do not let the enemy silence you out of fear or respect for this world's systems. They do not respect Me or honor My Name. There will be a great division between those who honor My Name and those who are willing to bow to the enemy's schemes. There will be great conflict among My people but My Word is clear so cling to it in the coming days. You will indeed be hated by all men for My Name's sake but your reward will be great as you hold fast to Me and proclaim My goodness to those who will hear. Believe Me when I say to you that time is short so make each day count and do not squander the gift of life I have given you. Prepare yourselves for My coming and be diligent to share My goodness. My lovingkindness and favor is around you and upon you as you pursue My purposes on the Earth at this time.

Footprint of Faith

 The footprint of faith is deep and wide in this land.

Step onto the land that I have made.

Step into My purposes for you.

Step out in faith and change the world in My Name.

My presence will go with you.

My life will be in you,

and flow out of you,

bringing My everlasting life to those who are thirsty.

I pour out My Spirit,

not in measure,

but in fullness,

over and above

what you need so you can share My goodness

with others.

Pour out My love to this hurting world.

Pour out,

and do not hold back.

For I am with you

always.

Shall I not speak to My prophets before I do something? Word Received 28.1.2024

 Shall I not speak to My prophets before I do something? Shall I not give warning to My people before judgment comes on the Earth? Will I not tell them to hide in My safety and under My shadow until this too has passed? I have told you in My Word what will happen in the last days but many are saying the time is not now the time is not yet. But I say to you the time is now and the time has come for you to respond to My warnings and to prepare yourselves and tell others to do likewise. Once these things begin to happen there will be no time or opportunity for preparation. Like a flood that overwhelms without warning so these things will begin to occur with greater frequency and intensity. Prepare now so you can be a blessing to others. Do not put off what I have told you to do. Each one has their task and responsibility from Me so you do not need to copy what others are doing. Believe Me when I say time is short and trust Me as I lead My people into the purposes I have for them at this time.

How long, Lord?

 How long

will the people refuse to listen

to your prophets?

The ones who speak

what they hear

your Spirit saying.

The words get

lost

in the information overload

that marks the modern world

in all its flaws.

We are too busy

to wait on You,

to read Your Word,

to sit in silence,

and rest in Your presence.

We are torn

a hundred ways,

and none of them

is towards You.

You wait patiently,

and speak to each generation,

and some hear

and follow,

and are criticized for doing too much.

How can we live

if we do not pray?

How can we pray

unless we believe You hear us?

How can we be

assured of Your answer,

when we are unsure

of the question?

Help us Lord, in this time of confusion.

When will Your glory be seen?

How long, Lord? 

The Night is Coming.

 The night is coming

when no one can work.

So do it now,

not tomorrow,

or the next day.

Don't put it off

and make

a fresh excuse

for not getting

around to it.

My procrastination

is becoming

an art form,

that needs a

critic to bring

it into line.

I know what I

should be doing.

So why is it

so hard to put

pen to paper

and write

that list

of accountability

and focus.

Scattered thoughts

like rain showers,

too short to

break the growing pressure

of the storm

hovering on the 

horizon of my mind.

How long will it

take me to begin.

Ask me again

at the end of the year.

Position your hearts to hear Me. Word Received 21.1.2024

 Position your hearts to hear Me for I will not speak to those who have no interest in listening. I will speak to those who seek Me in My Word and who wait on Me. Prepare your hearts for there is so much more to come both good and bad. Your perspective will make all the difference and you need to learn to see as I see and to hear as I hear. Tune in to the frequency of My Holy Spirit and tune out of that which corrupts and defiles and wastes your precious time. Time is more precious now than it has ever been. Don't waste your days but live with Me and allow My purposes to satisfy you for nothing else will. Do not go after the next big thing or search for manifestations of My power. They will come as you walk in obedience to Me and supernatural will become natural for you. You do not have long before the night comes when no one can work. Listen to Me and I will show you what to do in these days.

The terror of the nations has begun. Word received 29.12.2023

 The terror of the nations has begun. Many do not realize it for they are consumed with their own agendas and are not spending time seeking My face and reading My Word. The world has not yet seen the full manifestation of evil but it is coming upon the Earth. Be diligent to hide yourselves in My protection and live each day with intent. Do not let your spirit soar or fail but remain on a steady course where you cannot be tricked by temptation or drowned by doubt. The end of man-made plans and ambitions has begun. There will be destruction and devastation on a scale previously unseen. There will be firsts associated with major disasters. Things that humans have not seen on this scale. The demonic is manifesting at a rate beyond what you have seen or known. Do not be terrified for My Victory is already in place and these are the death throes of the enemies schemes to destroy mankind. My purposes will prevail and human history will end at My command and not before. Recalibrate yourselves to the functioning of My Holy Spirit. Do not be jarred when I move in power but move with Me in unity and oneness of purpose in My Kingdom. Do not be afraid. Do not fear for I am with you. I will not leave you or forsake you and I will return for My Bride.

Wrestling

 I know I cannot

wrestle with You 

and win.

I cannot even prevail in an argument

about a slight difference of opinion.

Why does my heart

justify itself,

thinking it can out staunch an everlasting God?

Maybe I'm a little crazy,

but I find myself

thinking I can get away

with things that I pull others up for.

Log or speck in your eye,

totally depends on perspective,

and we generally give ourselves

the benefit of the doubt.

How can I feel justified to judge others 

in an uncaring manner,

when I would so dislike

to receive that judgment turned on me?

How can I know I have truly forgiven

the one who caused me or another such distress?

Can my heart ever tell the absolute truth?

It will one day when I stand before the Lord.

So I wrestle,

and acknowledge my humanity,

and am so thankful

that I have made Jesus,

my Savior and my Lord.
