One word from God has the power to change everything.

“I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.  May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  I have given them the glory that you gave me that they may be one as we are one; I in them and you in me.  May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” John 17:20-23

My Precious One,

I am more than your God.  I am your Abba and as your all-powerful, loving Father, I have the ability to go wherever you go.  When you invited Jesus into your heart, we accepted the invitation; committing to never leave you or forsake you.

As your loving Father, I am here to empower and strengthen you.

In our family, we have many members—your brothers and sisters in the faith.  As much as I love you, I love them.  As hard as I fought for you, I fought for them.

When the rest of the world is entrenched in darkness and confusion, I empower my children to work in unity and love.  This is very different from world around you.  This unity entails support, encouragement, healthy admonition, prayer and hearts that are willing to serve each other.  The spirt woven through the fabric of my family is love; the same spirit Jesus operated from.  This untainted, unselfish, unconditional love is so supernatural, it goes against the nature and laws of this world; proof you’ve been re-born into another Kingdom. The world becomes lighter when you obey me and there is a radiance and glory in that obedience.

It saddens me when my children listen to the lies and temptation of the great divider.  Walls of offence, and bitterness are erected when they do.  When you feel anger and division rising up inside your heart, address it and give it to me.  I’ll walk you through it and show you gentle victory.

I don’t want any to perish or be deceived and when my children defend me in a spirit of judgment and self-righteousness they become blinded by those spirits.

There is freedom in trusting me.  When you come to me, I will open your eyes and touch your heart to see things from my perspective—if you ask.  This takes self-control.  Many of my children refuse to give me a moment when they’ve decided to become the judge.  I alone am the Righteous Judge.  I see everything from an eternal perspective.  Why not turn to me for wisdom as you walk through relational landmines?  I am pursuing the lost with my love.  How will they know you are not of this world when you allow the god of division to rule in your heart? Let me show you the wisdom of the king of the Universe.  I want nothing more than to share everything I have with you.”

“The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.”

Isaiah 58:11

My Precious One, I am always with you—in hardships and trials, I’m a breath away.

I tip my ear when I hear your call. I delight in walking you through difficult terrain. I enjoy supplying you with endless wisdom and refreshment.  I love to fill your heart with peace when it makes no sense-and I love it when you open your trust so I can.

It is my desire to watch you blossom as I nourish you with the truth of your identity.  Those who seek my face and voice radiate with my presence and the shalom that points to me.  This lights the path to reveal I am real.”

“Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow.” Philippians 2:9-10

“My Precious One,

Honoring my Son positions you to give and receive honor.

Remember…you don’t just hold my heart…you carry my name!

I never require my own to jump through hoops or wait for their inheritance; for I, The King, abide with you.”

“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.”
