PENETRATE

One of the definitions of the word, "Penetrate," is to enter by piercing.  You have been given the power through prayer in My name to pierce the darkness in the second heaven where Satan dwells.

I have given you the keys to the kingdom to bind and to loose. I want you to use those keys to bind the dark spirits that Satan sends and to loose the power of My Holy Spirit to bring light.

Your prayers are like light beams that pierce the dark spiritual realm of Satan.  When I said let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify My Father in heaven, I was revealing the power you had because My light dwells within you.  Use the power of prayer daily to penetrate the dark realm of Satan.

MATTHEW 16:18-19; 5:14

VALLEY

You face many valleys in your life.  I know you always think of a valley as a low dark place that is shadowed by mountains. Death is a valley that everyone will face.  David, My beloved psalmist wrote: "Yeah though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for You are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me."

The valley of death for everyone who believes in Me will lead them immediately into My presence where light dwells continuously for all eternity. Valleys often have the richest soil because the rain from the mountains flows down to water the vegetation in the valley..  

I want you to see the valleys of trials in your life as times when the fruit of My Spirit can grow and flourish. As you trust in Me through every trial, My Holy Spirit can conform you to be more like Me. Remember that in every valley you go through, I will open a door of hope,

PSALM 23:4; HOSEA 2:15

INDIVIDUAL

My Word says that the members of your body are written in a book in heaven.  There also is a book of remembrance that records every time you think or speak about Me.

There are other books in heaven, but I shared these truths with you so that you will understand how important your life is to Me.  I created you in your mother's womb and then I breathed My breath into you when you were born.

You are an individual who has meaning, purpose, and destiny.  There are many individuals who do not believe that I have anything to do with their lives.  They do not realize that I consider every individual as a special treasure.  Be bold and share with others how important they are to Me.

PSALM 139:16; MALACHI 3:16

ESTEEM

Paul wrote, "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves (Philippians 2:3)" Paul was summarizing the second great commandment.  

When a lawyer came to Me and asked Me which was the great commandment I said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.  This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-39).

It is impossible for you to love your neighbor or anyone else as you love yourself without the help of My Holy Spirit.  However, you can esteem others higher than yourself.  Ask My Holy Spirit to help you see others as I see them. Humble yourself today. Refuse to get into strife, and esteem others better than yourself.

PHILIPPIANS 2:3; MATTHEW 22:37-39

VISION

The word, "vision," is laced throughout the old covenant and the new covenant.  That is why I gave you this word.  It is a very important word because Solomon wrote, "Where there is no vision, the people perish; but the one who keeps the law, happy is he." 

I came to fulfill the law, not to destroy it.  This should make you very happy because I can fulfill My vision for you as you yield yourself  to My Holy Spirit. I am the One Who works through you both to give you the will to do My will and the power to accomplish My will in your life.

My vision for you is simple.  I believe that you will allow Me  to complete that good work I began in you. I will fulfill every work I designed for you to do even before the foundation of the Earth. This truth should make you more than happy. This should make you gloriously blessed.  Thank Me today for My vision for you.

PROVERBS 29:18; PHILIPPIANS 2:13

AUTHORIZE

The word, "authorize," means to give official approval or permission.  You are not a citizen of this Earth.  The governing body over you is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit because you are a citizen of the kingdom of God on Earth.  

Before I left the Earth, I told My citizens that all power was given to Me in heaven and in earth. I authorized My citizens to teach all nations to observe all things that I commanded them.  I authorized them to baptize new citizens in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  

I also authorized them to cast out devils, heal the sick, and destroy the works of the devil.  Never forget the authorization I have given you in My name.

MATTHEW 28:18-20; MARK 16:17-18

CALL

While Jeremiah was in prison, I invited Jeremiah to call upon Me.  He certainly had plenty of time to do this.  I promised Jeremiah that if he called upon Me,  I would show him great and mighty things that he did not know."

I invite you today to call upon Me.  In fact, I want you to call upon Me every day of your life.  My promise is that if you will call upon Me, I will answer you, and I will also reveal things to you that you never knew.

I am calling My beloved to come up to Me where I am seated.  It is true that you are already seated with Me in heavenly places far above all principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, and wickedness in heavenly places.  However, many of My beloved have lost this perspective. When you see yourself seated with Me, you will be able to do effective warfare.

JEREMIAH 3:1-3

DELUSION

You are living in the day that Paul warned the Thessalonians about.  He said there would be a great falling away and the man of sin would be revealed before My return.  

This is unfolding now in your time.  Those who will not receive the love of the truth so that they might be saved will have strong delusion sent by God to them.  They will actually believe the lies they are speaking.

You must have clear discernment in the times that you are now living.  Pray for My Holy Spirit to give you clear discernment.  Only My Word has the power to discern the thoughts and intents of the hearts of men.  Your best defense against lawlessness and lies is to abide in My Word.

2 THESSALONIANS 2:3-12; HEBREWS 4:12

Whole

I was having a meal with publicans and sinners.  When the Pharisees saw this, they asked My disciples why I was eating with publicans and sinners. When I heard their question, I responded, "Those who are whole need no physician, but those who are sick."

I added that, "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice; for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." The problem with many in the world today is that they do not believe they are sinners.  They think they are whole and have no need for a savior. 

I sent My Holy Spirit into the world to reprove the world of sin.  Pray for My Holy Spirit to be poured out throughout the world in this harvest time.  Pray for hearts to be prepared to receive the gift of repentance.

MATTHEW 9:12-13; JOHN 16:8

TRANSFORMATION

I formed you from the dust and I know that you are but dust.  I formed you in your mother's womb and when you were born, I began to transform you into My image.

My Holy Spirit has the assignment to be your helper as you are changed from glory to glory every day that you live  This transformation process takes many years, but never be discouraged.  I am the author and finisher of your faith and that good work that I have begun in you I will complete. 

I know you think this is an impossible assignment that I have given to My Holy Spirit within you, but He has the power to do this.  I want you to never feel like you have failed.  You are but flesh, but My Spirit is much stronger than your flesh, and as you yield to Him daily, He will get the job done. 

HEBREWS 12:2;

WILLING

I do test hearts.  Many times you may feel that I am asking you to do something that at the time seems to be impossible in the natural.  However, when you make the step to move ahead in faith to fulfill My request, I will either give you the strength to do what seems impossible or I will no longer require that you fulfill the assignment I gave you.

I am after a willing heart.  When you are willing to do My will, that is so pleasing to Me.  Remember always that I will empower you by My Spirit to fulfill My will daily in your life.

Offer yourself to Me daily as a living sacrifice, and then I will be faithful to accomplish what I have called you to do.  Paul wrote Timothy these words, "Faithful is He Who calls you, Who also will do it." Never forget this.

1 THESSALONIANS 5:24

 

INTENTIONS

When you awake in the morning, I know you have good intentions to follow the lead of My Spirit all the day long.  Then the day becomes very crowded with work, school, or other duties.  

 I want you to understand where intentions come from.  My Word is able to discern the thoughts and intents of your heart.  You will have many thoughts during a day's time.  Some are from Me and others are simply from your soul or flesh.  The enemy also may send you thoughts.

Your thoughts first come to your mind. If you have committed your day to Me in the morning, you can trust that most of your intentions come from your heart (My Spirit within you).  You can trust that My Spirit will impress you with intentions.  When you hear His still, quiet voice, follow through with those intentions.  This is a way that My Spirit can lead you. If your intentions are not godly, then you know you are being led astray by your own lusts.

HEBREWS 4:12

ALTERNATIVE

I said that I am the way the truth and the life.  I also said  that no man can come to Me, except the Father  Who sent Me  draw him and I will raise him up at the last day.

Many on Earth do not believe that I am the only way that a person can be redeemed from their sins and saved. However, there is no alternative way to receive salvation and life eternal.

Pray for those you know who do not believe in Me.  Pray that My Father will draw them to come to know Me as their savior.

JOHN 6:44, 14:6

MANIFEST

All things that have been hidden will be made manifest.  Luke wrote: "For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad."  Mark wrote: "For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad."

These two true statements in the gospels should give you great comfort.  All the wickedness that has been done in the dark will one day be manifested.  People really believe that they can hide from Me, but they cannot.

The good news is that you are hid in Me and that you can manifest my light and my glory to others. The resurrection life within you can shine brightly through you as you yield yourself to My Spirit.  More than ever, you need to surrender to the power of My Spirit within you and pray that that power will be made manifest through you.

MARK 4:22; LUKE 8:17; COLOSSIANS 3:3

REFUGE

 I am the only One you can run to and find refuge in the stormy times that you are living.  As the time draws near to my second coming, lawlessness increases and the wicked seem to be winning.  However, you know the rest of the story.

You know that I always will cause you to triumph as you trust in Me with all of your heart.  My beloved David went through so many dark times, and his enemies were pursuing him relentlessly.  He knew where to flee for refuge.

David wrote this: Psalm 18:2: "The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation and my high tower. Meditate on his words today, and you will receive both hope and peace.

PSALM 118:2

RETREIVE

It would be wonderful if you could retrieve  those things that are lost.  You may want to retrieve lost relationships, jobs or material things.  The good news is that I came into the world not only to redeem the world from sin, but also to retrieve those things you counted as lost forever.

The pandemic caused much loss.  However, I can restore many of the losses of that year.  I want you to meditate on the passage in Joel: "And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you (Joel 2:25)."

I seek to save those who are lost, and during this harvest time, many lost souls will be retrieved by Me .  Broken relationships and broken hearts will be healed.  Continue to pray for My Spirit of wisdom and revelation to open the eyes of  the understanding of people all over the world so that they will come to know Me as their Lord and Savior.

JOEL 2:25; EPHESIANS 1:17-18

TRIANGLE

Most people who have learned a little about geometry know that a triangle is a three pointed geometrical design that has three points. You and many others who have experienced marriage counseling were sometimes shown a triangle that had God at the top of the triangle and the husband and wife at the bottom two points of the triangle.

The marriage counselor said that as each spouse travels up the triangle closer to God, they will become closer together.  I am a relational God, and relationships are very important to Me.  I want you to have a relationship with Me that will cause you to draw closer to Me every day.

I see this triangle of relationship working to draw you closer to Me as follows:  I am at the top of this spiritual triangle.  The other two points represent abiding in My Word and abiding in My love.  As you abide in My Word and abide in My love, you will be drawn closer to Me. Suddenly you will realize that you are abiding in Me (the vine).  This is when you will produce the wonderful fruit of loving relationships.

JOHN 15

SALT

I told My followers that they were the salt of the earth. Then I added that if salt has lost its savour, how can the earth be salted.  The purpose of salt is to preserve food and flavor food.  

Salt is also a solvent used to melt ice to make highways that are overladen with ice safe for travel.  I am preparing a "FAITH HIGHWAY" paved with a substance called "HOPE" for many who have never known Me to travel safely into My arms of salvation. This means that the major purpose that you have during this awakening is to sow the seed of My Word into the cold, frozen hearts of people who have no hope.

So many in your nation are discouraged and depressed because they have misplaced their hope. My Word is the only substance that can melt frozen hearts in people and give them faith to believe in Me.  My Word unveils My extravagant love for the world, and My love can melt the hardest heart.

MATTHEW 5:13

RESOLUTE

The word, "Resolute," means to have a firm purpose.  I was resolute about going to Jerusalem to be crucified.  For the joy that was set before Me I went, knowing the suffering I would endure, but also knowing that My Father's wonderful plan of redemption could only be fulfilled by my death, burial and resurrection.

It was My joy to offer My life as the perfect sacrifice that would satisfy My Father's conditions for redeeming the world from sin.  Now I want you to be resolute in fulfilling My Father's plan on earth daily.

My Father's plan is to gather all things unto Me and in order to do that, He will empower you and His body on Earth to gather in this last harvest.  Ask My Holy Spirit to show you your specific assignments in these last days.  I want you to be resolute in allowing Me to accomplish those assignments through you.

HEBREWS 12:2; EPHESIANS 1:9-10

EMERGENCY

When I walked on Earth, we had no emergency number we could call that would guarantee help right away for any emergency.  Many people came to Me as I traveled from city to city and village to village. They all needed help.  

Capernaum was called "My city" because I spent most of my time at Peter's home that was located in that city.  Many came there and I healed and delivered them. You do not have to see Me in person now in order to find help in time of need.  In fact I do have an emergency number that you can call.

The emergency number is Jeremiah 33:3: "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things that you do not know." I am with you always, but I love to answer your calls.

JEREMIAH 33:3

Thorough

When you hire someone to clean your home, you want them to do a thorough job.  You do not want the cleaning person to leave any corner of your home untouched. 

You are living in the day when I am cleaning My house (My true believers on earth). I am doing a thorough job.  I am sweeping out the dust and grime of tradition and worldliness, and I am cleansing My church so that she will be a vessel of honor fit for My return. 

The cleaning agent that I use is My very blood shed for the remission of your sins.  I have promised that if you confess your sins I am faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you of all unrighteousness.  Pray for yourself and every believer to humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways. When this happens, you will see My hand of mercy come down from heaven to heal your land. 

1 JOHN 1:7-9 

SPACE

You have your appointments, and you think that you control time.  You have invaded space, and you think that you are in control of space.  I am not limited by time or space.

I have given you a wonderful gift whereby you can travel to the nations without ever using any mode of transportation.  That gift is prayer.  Your intercession enables Me to have an impact upon even the smallest villages in nations. 

I want you to use the gift of prayer to co-labor with Me at this harvest time. I said to My disciples, "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few; pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers into His harvest." Your labor in prayer is of great value to Me during these times. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!

MATTHEW 9:37-38

IDOLS

When the children of Israel finally entered the promised land, they soon discovered that there were three major gods that the Canaanites worshipped. A study of these three major gods unveils the fact that these three major gods of the Canaanites are representations of the gods we face daily.

You may say, "I certainly am not an idol worshipper."  However, we have three lusts that can easily become our gods if we give in to these lusts when we are tempted.  Those three lusts are the lust of the flesh (seeking to fulfill our senses in an indulgent way); the lust of the eye (covetousness and vain imaginations); and the lust of the pride of life (depending on ourselves rather than trusting in God).

Whenever we give in to one of these lusts, we have bowed our knee to a false god.  My brother James said that we are led astray by our own lusts. We will have these lusts until we die, but there is a way of escape when we are tempted. That way of escape is Me.  I want to fight your battle for you when you are tempted. Take every tempting thought captive and give it to Me,  When you do this, I will  help you overcome the temptation.

JAMES 1:13-14; 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13-14; 2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5  

ORIGINAL

People need to be careful when they only want to buy the original painting by an artist because there probably exists many copies of that painting.

I am the creator of all things both on earth and in heaven.  By Me and through Me  and for Me were all things created that were created.  This means that you were created by Me, and there are no copies of you.  Even identical twins have different finger prints.

If you ever doubt your worth to Me, think about how I created you in your mother's womb.  When you were born you were the original you, and I did not make any copies of you.  This is why I even know the number of hairs on your head and My thoughts towards you (My original precious child) are more than the sands on the seashore.  I look at you, and I am thrilled with you, My original you.

COLOSSIANS 1:16-17

RESUME

When circumstances interrupt your plans and cause a delay in the completion of those plans, it is easy to become discouraged.  Many of My beloved in America have become discouraged because they assumed that once the pandemic was nearing an end that life would resume and be as it was before this trial.

You live in an age when no one living can assume anything.  There seems to be a new challenge daily.  Things are changing rapidly all over the world.  I predicted this when I was on Earth.

There is one certainty that you can hold on to in these times.  That certainty is that I am an unchanging God.  The plans I have for the world were set in motion even before the foundation of the Earth. Things in your life will change in these last days, and this is why you have to trust that I am in control, not you.

PSALM 37:23; PROVERBS 3:5

LOCALATY

When I walked on Earth, I was led by the Spirit to travel from one locality to another.  My Father had divine appointments in the various localities that I visited.

Of course, the area I traveled was limited to towns and villages around the Galilee and to the Temple in Jerusalem.  The locality you live in today is much larger, and you can travel to many places including all over the world.  My instructions, however, to My disciples was to go to Jerusalem and wait until they were empowered by My Holy Spirit.

My disciples were empowered to not only be My witnesses in Jerusalem, but also to the uttermost parts of the world.  I want you to begin to pray for opportunities to be a witness in your Jerusalem (your local city). Pray for My body throughout your nation to be alert to the opportunities to witness in their local city.  Your nation can then be changed as city by city experience the empowerment of My Spirit.

ACTS 1:8

MANIFEST

My servant Paul wrote: "Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body." I died so that I might live through you. 

My adversary can counterfeit many things, but he cannot counterfeit My life that lives within those who believe in Me and who love Me.  Paul also wrote this: "Likewise reckon  you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord."

For My life to shine through your fleshly body, you have to reckon yourself dead daily to sin. This can only be done as you ask My Holy Spirit to give you a fresh anointing daily.  You are My ambassador on Earth, and know that My Spirit will empower you to manifest My life to others through you.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:10; ROMANS 6:11

SEVEN

My servant David praised Me seven times a day.  This was one of the reasons My Word calls Him a man who was after My own heart.  He wrote psalms of praise to Me, and He said He wanted to dwell in My sanctuary forever.

When you read the Psalms watch for the times David praised Me.  He praised Me in the morning and in the evening.  He even praised Me at midnight..

My heart is crying out for more of My beloved to be like David.  You may say, "I do not have time in a day to praise You seven times."  You can praise Me in the morning, at noon, when you eat three meals, in the evening as the sun goes down, and at night just before you go to bed. That is seven times.  Try it tomorrow.

PSALM 22:3; PSALM 34:1
