My child, you are always on My mind, in My thoughts, and in My heart. In fact, I have imprinted you on My hand. I never forget you. Yet, there are specific moments when thoughts of you ascend, like a sweet aroma and I remember you more intensely; My plans for you, your prayers, our beautiful relationship. I am passionate and determined that nothing will hinder our mutual journey. Nothing will stop you from taking the next step in the destiny I have planned for you.
In My written word, see how when I remember it has impacted individuals, communities and nations creating global, national, and individual change.
When Noah was in the Ark with his family and the animals, at the point where I remembered him, the flood waters began to recede, leading them out of the Ark to dry land. When I remembered the children of Israel and My covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I caused a process to begin where Moses was instrumental in their release from Egypt. When I remembered Hannah, she conceived her son (Samuel) who impacted the destiny of Israel.
I remember you, My child, and I empower you to remember. Partner with Me as you remember your nation, your family, your dreams, and others. See the doors of protectiveness and access being moved into correct position. See chains being broken not just over yourself but over your nation. See people being released from the clutches of the enemy. Let’s remember together so we can initiate a process of change. This is a weapon for your arsenal. Will you use it? Allow My passion to stir in your heart. See doors open, chains broken and the deliverance of My children as we talk about those things you remember.
Activation: Ask Holy Spirit
a) To show what is on the Father’s heart regarding you, your family, or your community.
b) What was His original plan concerning this area?
c) How you can partner with Him to bring about His plan?
YHWH called the expanse [of sky] heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
Genesis 8:1 (AMP)
And I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have [faithfully] remembered My covenant [with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob].
Exodus 6:5 (AMP)
For YHWH, whom I serve with my spirit by preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how continuously I mention you
My Children, the world is crying out for my light to be revealed through you, my sons and daughters, and I have given you all you need – Me, so it’s time to stop hiding!
I know you are afraid, but take courage, be bold, for I am with you. I will open doors to places you cannot; I will bring you before people you would never have dreamed would give you an audience that I may display who I AM. I will put my words in your mouth and give you answers to their problems so that they may know there is a God who knows all things and I AM he. It’s time to step out with confidence, assured that I have gone before you and made every crooked path straight, I have opened the doors that no man can shut. Do not be afraid, I am with you and this will be a wild adventure if you embrace what I am calling you to. My Child, you know what that is! You have heard me whisper it in the night but you doubt that I would send you, that I would use you.
So today, repent of small-mindedness as it matters not how much strength you have, but how much strength I have and I AM the I AM THAT I AM, the all-powerful, all-knowing, always present one.
Activation:
1. Take some time to magnify YHWH, declaring and worshipping Him in all the ways that He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Do not stop until your Spirit recognises the eternal awesome YHWH.
2. Then, ask the Holy Spirit to bring to remembrance the calling and assignments He has spoken to you but you believed the lie that you are too small, inadequate, incapable etc of running with. Now look at the assignment through a new lense, not based on what you are capable of, but based on the eternal awesomeYHWH that was revealed to you in worship.
3. Now decree and declare YHWH goes with you in the specific calling/assignment and that you will be Bold and Courageous
14 “You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;
15 nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Matthew 5:14-15 (AMP)
And YHWH, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:8 (NKJV)
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for YHWH your God is with you wherever you go.”
Obedience in all things is key in this season. I am asking you to lean into My voice, trusting My timings. Don’t get stuck in the timings of the past, but focus on the fresh timings of this season.
I am asking you to yield to Me, and as you do so, you will experience closeness, intimacy, and an ability to discern My leading like never before. Lean into My voice, not relying upon your own understanding.
I am asking for your full trust, your full submission, and your full surrender in all things. Will you live your life on the altar for Me? Will you submit and surrender the things that are most precious to you? Will you choose Me above all else in your life?
I gave Abraham his heart’s desire when I blessed him with his son Isaac. When I asked for his obedience in sacrificing his precious son to Me, he was willing to give me both his son and his “yes.” I am asking you for both at this time as well. Will you give Me what is most important to you and will you give Me your full obedience?
Activation: Sit with Holy Spirit and allow Him to highlight the areas or things in your life that you have been holding onto but He wants you to submit to Him. Speak out loud:
“Lord, you have my full obedience and I will yield and surrender to you all that you ask. I give you access to all areas of my life and I give you my “Yes.” Amen.”
The Call of Abram
1 Now the Lord said[a] to Abram, “Go from your country[b] and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.
2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”[c]
Genesis 22:1-3 (ESV)
9 And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.
Abram and Sarai in Egypt
10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance,
12 and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me, but they will let you live.
Genesis 22:9-12 (ESV)
A Living Sacrifice
1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.[b]
2 Do not be conformed to this world,[c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.[d]
Gifts of Grace
3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.
4 For as in one body we have many members,[e]and the members do not all have the same function,
5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;
7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching;
8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads,[f]with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
Marks of the True Christian
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit,[g] serve the Lord.
12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.[h] Never be wise in your own sight.
17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.
19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it[i] to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

4 So Abram went, as YHWH had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
6 Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak[d] of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.
7 Then YHWH appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to YHWH, who had appeared to him.
8 From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to YHWH and called upon the name of YHWH
9 And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.
Abram and Sarai in Egypt
10 Now there was a famine in the land. So Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was severe in the land.
11 When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, “I know that you are a woman beautiful in appearance,
12 and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me, but they will let you live.
13 Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared for your sake.”
14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
15 And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16 And for her sake he dealt well with Abram; and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.
17 But YHWH afflicted Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram’s wife.
18 So Pharaoh called Abram and said, “What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
19 Why did you say, ‘She is my sister,’ so that I took her for my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her, and go.”
20 And Pharaoh gave men orders concerning him, and they sent him away with his wife and all that he had.

My Bride, do you not know how much I love you and how I long for you to choose Me above all else? For then you will see how beautiful you look as you live in my ways and become distinct from the world. The Nations are waiting to see My beautiful Bride, and, My beautiful children – the Sons and Daughters of the Most High.
My Sons and Daughters, it is time to be taught of Me so I can instruct you in how to live in these times. You will learn to live IN Me and THROUGH Me, and then you will see through My eyes and walk in the duality of life on earth and life in My Kingdom. Then man will see the reality of My Kingdom as you carry My light and they see darkness overcome.
What do I require from you?
I require your very life! Surrender to Me afresh. Give Me your time, your talents and your treasure and see the increase of My power working in and through you as you lay down your life. This is what I will do as you live (abide) IN and THROUGH Me.
Activation:
1. Ask Holy Spirit what areas of your life you need to surrender/surrender afresh to YHWH
2. As a sign of repentance physically hold your hands up as you offer those areas up to YHWH
3. Now declare the truth of Galatians 2:20 (AMP) out loud:
I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

Act III – The Son Speaks
7“I will reveal the eternal purpose of YHWH. For He has decreed over Me, ‘You are My favored Son. And as Your Father I have crowned You as my King Eternal. Today I became Your Father.
8 Ask Me to give You the nations and I will do it, and they shall become Your legacy.Your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth.
9 And You will shepherd them with unlimited authority, crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay!’ ”
Psalm 2:7-9 (TPT)
“Live in Me. Make your home in Me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can’t bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can’t bear fruit unless you are joined with Me.
My child, I have called you to accomplish great things and have revealed pieces of your plan to give you direction. However, you are now either so caught up in the past or future that you are not taking time to enjoy the present. This was never My intent.
I desire you to enjoy the journey. Take care of yourself, have a good time, love your people well and make the most of your work for as long as you live. I have placed so much richness and treasure in these moments. They are My precious gifts to you. Please, do not miss these gifts by focusing on the wrong things.
I deal out joy in the present. You cannot experience joy in the past, for it is already gone. You cannot receive joy in the future, for it has not yet come. So do not get lost in the past or future. Receive joy in the now. If you slow down and open your eyes, you will find it all around you!
The enemy attacks your mind to steal this joy and keep you from living in the present. He wants to sabotage you and keep you from your blessings. But you already know that I have overcome and can restore any lost time. So you have a choice – stay stuck or let go. If you let go, you will find Me. I will fill your heart with gladness, and you will discover complete contentment in the present. Your tank will overflow, making you a joy-filled fountain for My glory!
Activation: Ask yourself where your focus is fixed. If it is stuck in the past, find the root and properly deal with it. Then, choose to let go. If it is glued to the future, ask the Lord to give you a healthy focus and let go of what is not. Once centred, begin to look for all the gifts of joy YHWH has blessed you with. It can be found in your family, friends, work, church, scripture, nature, pets, and all of your favourite things. Make a healthy time for these things that is within your capacity (meaning do not overindulge to your detriment). When you are present, cherish the moment. Allow the joy of YHWH to fill your heart with gladness. Thank Him for the precious gifts and allow the joy to flow out of you and onto others for His glory.
Make the Most of What YHWH Gives
18-20 After looking at the way things are on this earth, here’s what I’ve decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as YHWH gives you life. And that’s about it. That’s the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what YHWH gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what’s given and delighting in the work. It’s YHWH’s gift! YHWH deals out joy in the present, the now. It’s useless to brood over how long we might live.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 (MSG)
But may all who search for yoube filled with joy and gladness in you.May those who love your salvationrepeatedly shout, “YHWH is great!”
Psalm 70:4 (NLT)
I have told you these things so that you will be filled with My joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
