One word from God has the power to change everything.

“The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy you needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame.  You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” Isaiah 58:11

“My Precious One,

When you first turned to me, you were filled with darkness and devoid of hope; the world left you dry, defeated and trampled.

Bravely, you whimpered my name, unsure of what the future would hold…but desperate enough to give me a chance.

I extended my hand and despite your weakness, you grabbed with wild desperation. I held you tight and as you felt the weight of my strength, your heart warmed with re-ignited hope.

This was the beginning of your resurrection story.

My breath cooled your brow, my words healed your heart and my spirit strengthened yours; only then did you began to see and understand your true identity. Now, you’re thriving (in the legacy of your Father) and making decisions that line up with the woman of excellence you are.

I have great expectations that you, too will extend a strong hand and generously share with those desperate for my refreshing truth.”

“But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” Psalm 31:14

“My Precious One,

When I invaded your world with my Spirit and truth, you surrendered disbelief for faith in me.  Since that time, very day, hour and minute, you must make the same choice.

When circumstances don’t match your prayers, trusting me is challenging.   It’s difficult to hear my invitation to believe the unbelievable among the din of disappointment.

The Israelites experienced my favor, blessing and miracle power but when problems arose, they shifted the focus off of me, onto the challenge.  This opened the door for fear, lack, independence and rebellion.

My generous hands were restrained by their forgetfulness because my goodness, mercy and grace were not given faith to move.  So, the blessings I had remained with me.

Don’t allow things not going your way to stop my hand of favor.  Guard your heart and mouth from grumbling unbelief and doubt over your situation.

When you feel challenged to give up, remember my precious Israel.  They were blessed with my presence, favor and power, yet they still brought upon themselves problems that could have been avoided. Thoughts of lack blocked remembrance of my miracles and provision. They stopped the hand of God from working on their behalf—with their own words! If they would have focused on my good nature and provision, they would have seen more of it.

Challenges are reminders to focus on me and when you do, I ignite hope, peace and patience.

Your day of redemption comes with me and I will not let you down; don’t drop your faith for a lie.”

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14

“My Precious One,

From the moment you made me Lord over your life, my kingdom became ours.

As my child, you inherit my supernatural kindness, mercy, justice, love and peace.  Embrace the strength of being moved by something infinitely greater; steward yourself well by honoring my Spirit.

Sometimes your influence will be monumental, other times, small…but every time you hear my voice and act upon it, you make an impact. You are a world changer.

I’ve promised to increase you but remember, the increase comes as you follow my lead.  I’ve given you authority to conquer territory ravaged by the enemy and when you do, the landscape of our shared kingdom is increased.”

“Charity suffereth long and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up.  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

“My Precious One,

When you’re not being loved in the way you need, turn to the source of every good thing for I’m always ready to bestow even more of my goodness.

I flow through love and when you choose it, you choose me. Let me show you how to love the (seemingly) un-loveable from a place of compassion (not resentment). Yes, this means you’re embracing vulnerability but you’re also embracing the greatest force known to man…which enables you to be used in the mightiest of ways.

You’ve prayed, “Lord, use me for good.”

But the answer to this prayer falls upon you…

Will you love? Even when things aren’t easy or convenient?

Choose fearless love for this is what makes the impossible, possible!”

“See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you.” Isaiah 60:2

My Precious One,

When you stepped forward in faith and chose to follow me, the darkness hovering over and inside you dispelled; the world became less dark because you invited me inside!

The enemy has tainted the word’s ability to see me. When you soak in my presence, you begin to reflect my glory. As you become filled with my spirit, it’s my light and freedom that emit from you! This dispels the darkness and deception of the enemy.  Don’t you see there’s so much power in your choice?!

One of the greatest deceptions is that you’re powerless to impact such a dark and heavy culture. But, don’t you know that the world is searching for my love, freedom and peace–even if they aren’t aware of it?

Stay in my presence where you will have plenty of encouragement, wisdom direction, protection and illumination. You will have the peace, joy and inner abundance and satisfaction that the world is so desperate for!

Don’t be afraid of standing out because that’s what I called you to be—a perplexing and beautiful light that shines in the midst of great darkness.  This is not a ‘bad’ thing but a ‘God’ thing.”

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2

“My Precious One,

In the past, you struggled with fitting in.  You once viewed this as negative, but…recognize how this has prepared your walk with me!

For my ways are not man’s ways…

Lean into our partnership of holy transformation. As you trust me, your spirit releases what holds you back.  Faith is an exercise of the will but it’s also an expression of who I’m molding you to be—for I make all things beautiful and functional.”
