One word from God has the power to change everything.

“I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God.  For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest and as a bride adorns herself with jewels.” Isaiah 61:10

“My precious One,

you are a vison of pure delight and loveliness to me. It’s my dream to watch you walking out the freedom my Son died to give.

When you pray, I love hearing you mention the Robe of Rightousness, reminding yourself you’re worthy to bow before your Father, the King.  In my presence, no man/woman can stand and live (if sin shrouds them). My righteousness is a requirement.  Unlike the ‘Righteousness” of man, it is flawless and has the power to cover ALL forgiven sin.  My perfection and righteous requirements have been twisted. The enemy has used it make my children feel ‘less than’—but nothing could be further from the truth.  The Father of lies has taken the glory and made it to be a matter of offence, a stumbling block.  Yes, excellence and perfection is my nature and yes, I ask my children to follow me in all my ways.  But, I only require this to be done with my strength.  As my children lean on my strength and submit to my spirit, they tap into my supernatural resources and that which is impossible gets filled with my possibility.  This was always my plan.

Pride is the tool of the enemy.  It blinds my children into believing I am a harsh and cruel Father.  It blinds my children into believing they can do well without my spirit.  Yes, “good” can be done in the flesh, but there is so much missing from righteous works performed in that way. First, the pure joy of my spirit is not able to fill it—the experience is short-lived and falls ‘flat’ compared to what we can create together.  Good works done without me aren’t eternal and much of the satisfaction that results comes from Pride—the very spirit that is set up to destroy my own!

Oh how my heart aches.  It breaks to see my precious ones fall into this sneaky snare that appears “good” but has no eternal value or blessing attached to it.  If my children would spend time in my presence, they would know and earn the difference between “good” performed and motivated by man and the “great” that is God inspired.  Time with me sharpens spiritual discernment between the two.

Many believe the lie that to make a ‘big’ impact, ‘big’ things must be done.  Who defines ‘big’? When man defines it, it is mostly on what can be seen or recognized by other men.  When I define ‘Big’, I see past the superficial and go straight to the heart of what’s most important.

Remember, I am the God who rejoices at finding that one lost sheep, that one lost coin.  What makes little sense to man (and is a great stumbling block) is that I am a God that values, treasures and sees many ‘little’ things as big.  My priorities don’t match earthly proportions or expectations.

Meet with me  and I will show you more precious jewels that are slipping through the cracks; because the world sees no value in them.  Will you search with my eyes?  Will you dare to see the hidden glory that most people miss?  Will you invest in the ‘foolish’—trust me when I say–this is NOT fool’s gold but my precious treasure.

Sit with me.  Soak in my love.  Enjoy my song over you.  Let me water your thirsty spirit so you can blossom like the sweet rose you are.  There is power in my presence.  Revelations you get to share with anyone who listens to you.  Speak, my dear.  Share what you know of me.  Kingdoms of darkness will crash down at the sound of your voice. The ears that hear your laughter will desire to taste and see if I really am THAT GOOD.

I will open doors.  I will lead you to dry and thirsty hearts.  These are lands, grounds to capture back.  I long to bring life—abundance to those who are weary and hopeless.  Those who have mistaken the “Great I am” for the deceiving nature of ‘religion’.

My dear, will you join me and all I see us doing together?  A joyful partnership of revival.  Reviving dead and dry branches that I have NO INTREST in burning or throwing way.  My desire is to give life!  Life that bears much fruit.”

“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us.  We are hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair.” 2 Corinthians 4:7-8

“My Precious One,

How delightful is my design of creative collaboration with you? In me, you have a mixture of flesh and spirit, earthly realities shrouded in kingdom power…

The cracks of your weaknesses are perfect slits for my glory to shine; wonderful testaments to the changes my spirit was given permission to change.

Do not despise the heat and pressure of your fiery trials as they strengthen your inner character and embolden your faith. My refining power makes all things work together for your good.

You are my unique expression; an intoxicating blend of your giftings and personality fused with my wisdom and power.

As your life becomes a living, breathing expression of my heart, my glory within you testifies this truth: man was created for more than this life’s offerings.”

“Therefore, tell the people; This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Return to me”, declares the Lord Almighty,

and I will return to you”, says the Lord Almighty.” Zechariah 1:3

My Precious One,

You were created for deep, intimate connection with me.  When you opened your heart to mine, something shifted—your soul found its home! You finally experienced the rest, peace and unconditional love of a wise and mighty Father.

From the moment you opened your heart to mine, the enemy schemed to break our connection.  As temptations work to thwart you from my great plans and your great inheritance, I softly sing my love over you.

I wait patiently as you exhaust yourself pursuing everything…but me.

In the stillness, I remind you of who’s you are.  My love is steadfast, unwavered by your actions or empty promises. I wait for your heart to want to return home. I wait for your heart’s full pursuit, just as I’ve pursued yours.”

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”  Jeremiah 29:11

My precious One,

Every moment of your life is a precious gift.  Even the moments that are hard and do not feel blessed.

The beginning of your life is filled with hope and great expectation.  The middle is filled with options and discovery and the closing is filled with remembrance, regret, repentance and rebirth…a fresh understanding of what this life is for.

Some people let the regret take them to a place of hopeless self-pity but even regret, if handled with the right sprit, can be wielded for my glory.

Remember, not one thing given to me will ever be wasted.  For this is my redemptive nature.  This is the freedom you have in me!  This is the treasure the world is searching for—peace, hope and assurance that someone more capable will champion the way.

Stay close to me.

Hold onto the truth of your salvation.  I came to you when you cried out to me. I did not wait for you to perfect your ways.  I waited for you to be done with yourself!

The moment you turned your heart to me in genuine humility was a moment I had waited for your whole life.

You did not earn this grace.  It was given from the abundance of my love and my heart to see you flourish as my daughter.

Stay close to me.

Never forget your freedom could never come through your works.  Your freedom came when you came to me.

It was your humility and genuine repentance which shook the gates of hell and gave me access to turn things around.

Whenever the enemy has you in the grip of fear, fall on your knees and worship The One who has forgiven your sins and washed you clean.

Declare,

“I am the Lord’s and He is mine!  Do not waste my time!”

Fear.  Depression.  Loss.  Grief.  Sadness.  Sorrow and Hopelessness can all be given to me for I am the only one strong enough to defeat them.

You are my Beloved.  From the moment you were created, I’ve had my eye on you.  And until our eyes meet in eternity, keep your eyes on me.  For I have good plans for you.

I love you.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22

My Precious One,

I have so many treasures you have discovered…yet!  You’ve touched them on a surface level but you haven’t gone deep.  For with me, there is always more.

You know an earthly love, but did you know there is a heavenly version?

Just like there is an earthly version of joy, peace and patience there are much higher versions.

When I asked you to partner with ne in brining heaven down to earth….my dream was for you to tap into my heavenly abundance.

These things don’t come with a wish and a little prayer.  They come by prevailing and discipline.

When you sit in y presence, my glory quenches the flesh, making it fade in importance and value.

My glory is the magnitude of my holiness.

Those who tap into my heart with notice their own heart will change.

This is why it’s so vital to spend time with ne.

For my presence is the source of every good thing and if you want better for yourself and those around you, I am only a breath away.

“Call to me and I will answer you and who you great and mighty things!”

My people have heard of my peace that passes all understanding but did you know there is also a love joy, patience kindness, goodness and faithfulness which passes all understanding?

This implies that they are so out of the realm of normal they’ve become supernatural!  They are beyond the limitations of nature!

Despite your natural circumstance if you tap into my  holiness and partake of me, I will bless you with these incredible gifts of the spirit so you can bring heave down to earth,

There is a price to pay for holiness and it is denying the flesh.

Many people assume the price is too high to pay so they walk away.

They have made assumptions about themselves and me without digging further.

Don’t allow the Spirit of Fear or assumption to seal this great inheritance I have for you here and now and in eternity.

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:29

My Precious One,

My shalom, greater than any circumstance, not only neutralizes chaos but dominates it, carving paths through the most challenging trials.

When fear or anxiety attempt to highjack you, open your hands. Receive mine. I’ll lead you into an existence above your current realm.

When chaos, confusion and fear loom, I forge terrain above, through and out; the atmosphere of heaven, beyond the ‘calm’ of this world.

In me all your missing pieces are found but remember, salvation is not as a one-time deal, but a lifestyle. My blood makes provision for your complete restoration and continual peace.”
