My beloved. In the midst of the uncertainties of this world, the Spirit of the Sovereign Lord says, “Have no fear, for I am with you. Though it may feel like hyenas and jackals have surrounded you on all sides, the Lion of Judah is here.
There is a roar He is releasing in this hour. It’s not only around you, but in you. Can you feel it bubbling up? Can you feel the roar rushing forth?
The enemy is cowering and fleeing. The tide of battle is turning in your favor. Can you see the monkeys that have mocked and laughed, holding your treasures in their hands? Watch as they release everything that was stolen, as the Lion roars!
Activation:
Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Focus on the Lord. See the enemies and troubles that have weighed you down. See the Lion of Judah roaring over them. Now partner with the Lord and release the roar of the Lord over your life. Declare that is enough!
The lion has roared! Who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken [to the prophets]! Who can but prophesy?
I see the real you. I know who you are, and I want you to have confidence to be your authentic self. I know you worry that people won’t like the real you, but I have made you to be unique.
I formed you in love and I placed you in the right place. I don’t want you to get lost in the crowd and try to be like those around you. I have made you to stand out. I have made you to be extravagant and even a little wild.
I know people have said you should calm down, that you are too extreme. But in conforming to voices that are not Mine, you have shut down My moving in and through you. You have become bland and lukewarm.
My Kingdom is full of life, energy, colour and creativity, and that is how I have made you to be. So shake off the bland. Show My vibrancy in all its glory. Demonstrate My extremes, My vastness, My ecstasy. I sing and rejoice over you with dancing and vivacity.
And this will be contagious, My child. Experience the richness found in Me.
Activation:
Put on your most colourful clothes. Do something creative with the Holy Spirit – paint, dance, sing. Experience the freedom of being you in Christ.
I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
In a prophetic dream, I was in a room full of light and the smell of spring. Five ladies clothed in softly draped pastel dresses with flower designs, sat on comfortable brown leather chairs.
With a smile, they invited me to join their circle. My companion presented the ladies to me. They were called “New Hope“, “New Beginning”, “New Courage”, “New Faith”, and “New Endeavor”.
We had a lovely chat. They spoke encouraging words and I could feel myself starting to be filled up. My body, soul and spirit were soaking up new hope, new courage, new faith, and I could see new beginnings and new endeavors.
“My dear Child”, says the Lord, “I want you to have encounters with Me and My Holy Spirit. I want to impart My nature into your being, so that you might find new hope for seemingly hopeless situations, strong faith in your great God, and new courage to start implementing what I have shown you before, and what I am showing you now. Trust My New Beginnings. My spring is at your door.”
And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true [they are accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy].”
My child, I am the Prince of Peace. I want you to grab hold of My peace, which is not the peace of the world. In the middle of personal and global circumstances, lean on Me and know that I am holding you.
Nothing and no one can deprive you of what you find in Me, because I am fiercely protecting you. Therefore let nothing distract you, and keep your eyes locked with Me.
My intent is to pour a balm of love over you, to remind you who you are, whose you are, and know where I’m leading you. So come into My peace. O precious one, step inside My heart and develop an even greater trust in who I am, and what I will do in your life.
Can you feel that I know every single detail of your being? Let your heartbeat be in unison with Mine and put no limits to what I’m about to show you. It’s Me and you, you and Me. Leave the rest outside.
ACTIVATION:
Find your favourite spot. As you slow down and focus on Jesus, allow Him to envelop you in His mantle of peace. Then when you are ready, step into His heart. What does it look like? How do you feel? Be open to receive whatever the Lord wants to do or say. Stay there until the Lord’s peace becomes part of you.
Peace I leave with you; My [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid. [Let My perfect peace calm you in every circumstance and give you courage and strength for every challenge.]
I looked in the spirit and saw Jesus, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, open up a realm of faith. The doorway is wide open, and He invites you to step through. It is an open invitation; the only requirement is that you are willing to break free from the limitations constricting your faith.
This realm is entered into through faith. A simple child-like faith. A faith knowing that nothing is impossible for God. A faith knowing that God gives good gifts. A faith expecting wonders and miracles.
I saw Jesus reaching out His hand, ready to help those willing to step through. “Ask Me and I will strengthen you to break free,” He said. Not only is there an invitation to step into this realm of limitless faith, but also an invitation to break free from limitations.
So break free from limited faith. Break free from a doubtful mind and a wavering heart. Let Jesus help you, and step into this realm of limitless faith. It is there you will bear everlasting fruit.
12 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father.
13 And I will do whatever you ask in My name [[a]as My representative], this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son.
14 If you ask Me anything in My name [as My representative], I will do it.
“You are an inextinguishable light!” says the Lord.
My child, just as Jesus was a light the darkness could not overcome, YOU are the light that pushes back the dark.
Do not be tempted to focus on what you read in the news or on social media, or lower your perspective to your vantage point on earth. Do not allow the darkness to dull the light I have placed within you.
You have the mind of Christ, so exchange your thoughts and your perspective for Mine. Press into My Spirit until you see the way I see, from the heavenly place in which I have seated you.
From there, you will know and understand My strategy among the nations and the place where I have set you to shine brightly. Therefore, don’t fear the dark. Simply stand and shine as the unyielding light I have created you to be for Me.
No matter where you are, no matter what you face, hold fast to the truth that the light of God shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it.
The Light shines on in the [a]darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorbit [and is unreceptive to it].
John 1:5 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] John 1:5 i.e. the world immersed in sin: all that stands in opposition to God and biblical truth.
To the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments. A Psalm of David
1 Hear my cry, O God; Listen to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help].
3 For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, A strong tower against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name [with reverence].
6 You will prolong the king’s life [adding days upon days]; His years will be like many generations.
7 He will sit enthroned forever before [the face of] God; Appoint lovingkindness and truth to watch over and preserve him.
8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever, Paying my vows day by day.
My chosen ones – I draw you close as I say to you, “Open wide your ears and listen.”
These are days in which much distraction is being released on the earth. You don’t have to be a target. As you find yourself bombarded with lists of ‘shoulds’, and ‘oughts’, and other mind traffic – Press Eject.
Press the eject button and let yourself be catapulted out of the chaos into the clear blue stillness of My Presence. It is here where things fall into place, where the shifting into peace happens, so that only that which is of Me remains.
Activation:
When experiencing mental bombardment, visualise pushing the eject button and hurtling into the presence of God. A space where all clamour is sifted out, and your gaze connects to the Lord’s. Stay there, absorbing His presence till you know you carry it with you into the life you momentarily left on pause. Allow the Lord’s presence to transform all your concerns.
2From the end of the earth I call to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and weak; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I [a rock that is too high to reach without Your help].
3 For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, A strong tower against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah.
It is I who cried out. It is I who seek you. I travel across the plains, across the earth, over all the rolling hills, forests and deserts. I cry out for My children: those who are near, those who are far away, those who are wounded, and those who call me their enemy.
I call from the heights, “Come up!” I shout from the mountains, “Come up!” I bellow into the depths, “Come up!”
I see you cry and weep. You do not always hear My voice, but I tell you, I stepped down from heaven to you. I made the journey first. I loved you first. I became flesh so I could clothe you in dignity.
Now you must strip away all that stops you coming to Me, so that we may meet – you before the cross, and I hanging upon it.
There I cried out, “It is finished.” Step forward and meet me. Each of you has an appointment at the tomb with Me, where My resurrection took place. And in that meeting with Me, you shall be transformed.
The LORD appeared to me ([a]Israel) from ages past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you.
Jeremiah 31:3 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Jeremiah 31:3 Also referred to as Samaria, Ephraim, Jacob, and Rachel in this chapter.
Clear away the cobwebs, the debris, the ash. Work with Me to make you, the holy temple of God, clean and ready. Assist the Holy Spirit to dust away the old. Now stretch, move, and bring out before Me the areas of your life which you have found too painful to sit and look at.
I know it can feel scary and painful. But take up each area and allow My cleansing oil to wash away the muck, the residue, the hurt and pain. There is no rush. We have time to clean one bit at a time.
Take as much time as you need to take. Let Me show you the why and how each part got in the state they are in. And watch as we partner together to wash, heal and make them whole again.
Activation:
Sit with God, your Heavenly Father, and ask Him to show you what pain you have hidden away. The things that may be too painful for you to face. Ask Him to give you the courage to look at them and allow Him to bring healing and cleansing to that area. You may need to do this over a long period of time, even weeks, or months. Keep going until He shows you the areas have been restored.
20 Now in a large house there are not only [a]vessels and objects of gold and silver, but also vessels and objects of wood and of earthenware, and some are for honorable (noble, good) use and some for dishonorable (ignoble, common).
21 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
22 Run away from youthful lusts—pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those [believers] who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:20-22 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] 2 Timothy 2:20 Like Rom 9:20-23, the analogy here has its roots in OT poetry (e.g. Ps 31:12; Prov 26:23) and prophecy (e.g. Is 45:9; Jer 18:2-6). Paul speaks of believers and unbelievers in Rom 9, but here he seems to be describing God’s household or family, in which all the vessels (containers, utensils) represent believers. While the objects in Rom 9:21 do not change, the vessels here are capable of changing their status and the use to which God puts them by keeping themselves from sinful behavior and influences (v 21).
