PROCLAIMED

I listen to every word you speak.  Be on guard because demons also listen to every word you speak.  What you speak will give Satan and his demons ammunition to use against you.  The words you speak can contain either blessing or cursing.

Be careful not to speak negative words because negative words are curses.  Some people think that they can speak in secret and I then will not hear.  Be confident that I hear everything.

Luke wrote this: "Therefore whatever you have  spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops (Luke 12:3)" Pray daily that the words of your mouth and the meditations of your heart will be acceptable in My sight.

LUKE 12:3; PALM 19:14

CROWNS

There are many crowns mentioned in My Word.  There is one that is given when you endure temptation or trials. I gave this warning to My disciples: "These things I have told you, that you might have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world (John 16:33).

As much as you would like to avoid hard times and testing, you will ultimately experience this if you live a normal life span.  I told My disciples just how they could be of good cheer during times of suffering.

I told them to do three things: Abide in Me, Abide in My Word, and Abide in My love.  I knew that if they would discipline themselves to do these three things that they would have both My peace and joy always.

JAMES 1:12; JOHN 16:33; JOHN 15

SACRIFICE

This is a day set apart to remember all those who have sacrificed their lives to purchase your freedom. The war you are fighting now is against the forces of evil that want to rob you of your spiritual liberty.

Your prayers and the prayers for many are making a difference.  I am hearing your cry for a great harvest time that will come to not only your country, but also to every nation.

I gave the ultimate sacrifice when I died on the cross to offer liberty from the bondage of sin. On that day, I won the victory for you over the devil and his demons.  I took away the keys of death an hell from the devil and you now have the keys to the kingdom to bind evil forces and release My Spirit.  Daily use those weapons that are spiritual and not carnal to pull down every stronghold. 

2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-6

ATTEND

When you were in school, the teacher for each class called out the attendance role.  Sometimes you would attend the class, but your mind was not attending to what the teacher was saying.

I have given you My Holy Spirit to teach and guide you into all truth. When you read My Word,  it is so easy to be distracted. You will be less distracted if you will read My Word out loud.

David wrote, "Hearken  to Me now therefore, O children, and attend to the words of My mouth (Proverbs 7:24)." The word, "hearken," means to listen, listening.  The next time you read My Word out loud, I want you to listen with your spiritual ears as well as your physical ears. 

JOHN 16:13; PROVERBS 7:24

CHOSEN

Many are called, but few are chosen. I taught the parable about the wedding feast that a king had prepared, but no one was counted worthy to be invited. The king then gave his servants the orders to go into the highways and byways and invite people to come to his feast.

When the king came to the wedding feast, he noticed a man who was not wearing a wedding garment. This guest was bound and cast out into outer darkness.

The only wedding garment that you must wear to My wedding supper is the robe of righteousness.  There are many that I am calling to come to Me, but many are refusing.  Pray that they will hear My call and chose to receive My invitation.

MATTHEW 22:8-13

WELLS

The prophet Isaiah wrote: "Therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation.  And in that day shall you say, 'Praise the LORD, call upon His name, declare His doings among the people, make mention that His name is exalted  (Isaiah 12:3-4)."

There are wells of salvation within you.  I want you to draw from these wells every day with My joy which is your strength.  When you draw water from these wells daily, your day will be filled with praise and you will declare My wonderful works to others.

People need their joy restored during these dark days in your nation. You have My living water of salvation that you can give them. Come to My waters and drink and share My joy with others.

ISAIAH 12:3-4; JOHN 7:37

WEDDING

I shared two parables about a wedding feast when I was on Earth.  Both parables were a warning to those listening to make sure they were ready for the wedding feast.

The wedding feast I want all to make is the wedding feast that I will host in heaven.  Some call it the marriage supper of the Lamb.

I would that none perish, but that all come to repentance and accept My invitation to come to Me and receive My offer to exchange their self-righteousness for My righteousness. I freely gave this exchange when I became sin for them when I was crucified so that those who believe in Me can be forgiven.  I want you to give this invitation to many.

MATTHEW 22;1-14; LUKE 14:16-24; REVELATION 19:7

EXPRESS

I am the express image of My Father.  I came to earth to express to the world exactly who My Father is. I revealed His glory to the world, and the day will come when all the earth will have the knowledge of His glory.

His glory was expressed in My face.  My Father commanded the light to shine out of darkness into your heart to give you the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in My face.

You have this very treasure in your earthen vessel so that wherever you go, My glory will shine through you to others.  You are being changed from glory to glory to be more like Me when you take time to talk to Me and read, heed, and meditate on My Word.

HEBREWS 1:3; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:6-7

CHANGE

So many of My beloved pray that I will change their hearts to be more surrendered to Me.  I do have the power to change hearts.  I have the power to soften hearts and to harden hearts.

I hear this request of sincere Christians who want to be more like Me.  I have promised in My Word exactly how your heart and the hearts of all My beloved can be changed.

The promise is: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the LORD, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.  As you spend quality time with Me and My Word which is like a mirror, My Spirit will be able to change you to be more like Me. 

2 CORINTHIANS 3:18 

PRODIGAL

I told the parable of what some today call the "Parable of the Prodigal Son."  The prodigal son asked for his inheritance early and then he left his family and spent his inheritance on riotous living. When he had no more money, he returned to his home.  His father did not condemn him.  Instead, his father threw a party for him.

The word, "prodigal" is used to describe wastefulness and recklessness.  There are many prodigal sons and daughters today that I am calling back to my family.  Seducing spirits have imprisoned them in worldly thinking and worldly ways.

Pray for these prodigals with faith believing that I long to have an encounter with them. Pray for that encounter.  One revelation of My love for them is all they need to return to be with Me.

LUKE 15:11-32

GRANT

There is so much that I have granted to those who love Me.  The first thing I granted to you was the gift of faith to believe in Me. Next, I granted you the gift of repentance.

After you repented of your sins, I granted you My forgiveness for your sins (past, present, and future). I also granted you the grace to live a blessed, abundant life.

Today and every day, I grant you the power and the anointing of My Holy Spirit both to give you the will to do My will and the way to do My works.

ACTS 11:18, 14:3; PHILIPPIANS 2:13

FLAME

When you strike a match and throw it into a stack of wooden logs, it takes oxygen in the atmosphere to ignite a flame.  I have called you to be the light of the world.  I want you to be not only a light, but I want you to be a flame that will never grow dim as long as you are on this earth.

The oxygen I supply that causes you to be that flame is My Holy Spirit.  My Holy Spirit is like a mighty wind that blows on you and causes you to burn with zeal in your heart for Me.

Allow My Holy Spirit to breathe a fresh anointing upon you daily, and I will then not only be able to keep the flame burning in your heart for Me, but also the grace to ignite others with My eternal love.

ISAIAH 10:17

BREAD

I am the true bread that came down from heaven.  I am the bread of life.  When you come to Me, you will never hunger and you will never thirst.

I told those listening that if they ate of this bread, they would live forever. When I said that bread was My flesh, some left Me because they did not understand.

Whenever you have communion, I want you to remember what I said to My disciples on that fateful night when I was betrayed.  First I blessed the bread and then I broke it and gave it to My disciples, and I said, "This is My body that is given for you." I gave My body as the perfect sacrifice for you.

JOHN 6:31-35

STORMS

This is summer season where you live, and storms come up suddenly. The sun can be shining brightly, and then it becomes very dark.  The wind picks up, and lightning flashes, and you seek to find shelter quickly.

It was such a storm that suddenly came upon My disciples as they crossed the Galilee.  I was asleep in the boat, and they could not believe that I was not concerned for them.  I calmly woke up, and said to the storm, "Peace be still."

Remember that I am in control over not only the weather, but also over the storms of life that suddenly seek to overwhelm you.  When those dark storms surround you and the waves of adversity seek to drown you, speak My words, "Peace be still."  Run to Me.  I am your shelter, and I will see you through all of life's storms.

MARK 4:37-39

ABSENT

Paul wrote: We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the LORD.  Wherefore we labor, that whether present or absent, we may be  accepted of Him         (2 Corinthians 5:8-9)."

I want you to always know that your days are written in your book of life.  The day you were born and the day you will die are written in this book.

As long as you are on earth, I want you to do the works I have given you to do.  I will see to it that you complete these works before I call you home to be with Me. Remember, the good works that I have begun in you, I will complete.

2 CORINTHIANS 5:8-9

ALL

 As you read my word, you will see the word, "all" many times.  I am not only your everything, but I am also your all in all.

Paul wrote, "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8)."

Whenever you have doubts about whether or not you are doing all you can to do the work I have assigned you while you are on earth, I want you to remember this passage.  I am able to make all grace abound to you so that you will be equipped to complete all the good works I have given you.

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8

CONVERSATION

The psalmist David wrote: "Whoever offers praise glorifies Me: and to him who orders his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God (Psalm 50:23)."

The word, "conversation," in this passage can mean what you say and how you live.  What you say reveals what is in your heart.  How you live displays My character.

Pray each day that you will glorify Me in both word and deed.  When you fill your day with praises to Me, you will always glorify Me.

PSALM 50:23

FIGHT

Paul instructed Timothy to "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal live, where you are also called, and have professed a good profession before many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12).

Truly the faith to believe in Me is a gift of grace.  However, My enemy who is a thief will constantly try to get you to doubt.  To fight those times when you feel like your faith is not strong because My enemy has sent you condemning thoughts, take those thoughts captive and give those lies to Me.

When you were born again by My Spirit, you also joined the army of My saints.  Your enemy is the devil with his host of demons.  Resist thoughts of doubt, by saying out loud, "I have the mind of Christ."

1 TIMOTHY 6:12; PHILLIPIANS 2:5

ABLE

I know that often you do not feel able to be the best representative of My peace, joy, and love. You need to remember that the ability to do My will always comes when you are not depending upon yourself, but instead, you are depending upon Me.

Yield yourself every morning to My Spirit and ask Him to enable you.  He is your helper, and He will give you the ability to be the best representative of Me that day.

Remember how Paul looked to Me to empower him.  He wrote: "Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." The power that works within you and all My beloved is the power of My Holy Spirit.

EPHESIANS 3:20

IMAGE

I created everyone born to be created into My image.  I was present at every conception.  I am the light of the world who lights every man who comes into the world.  However, many people have chosen to walk in darkness instead of allowing My Spirit to reignite My light in their lives.

You truly are the light of the world Who I have chosen to be changed from glory to glory into My image. This is why I want you to allow Me daily to make My light within you shine brighter and brighter until I return.

I know it is hard for you to imagine that one day you will be just like Me.  However, that is the promise of My heavenly Father: 1 John 3:2: "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is."

JOHN 1:9; 2 CORINTHIANS 3:18  

EVERLASTING

You are a part of an everlasting kingdom.  When you received Me as your LORD and Savior, you entered My everlasting kingdom.

The kingdom you entered is not meat and drink.  It is righteousness, peace, and joy.  My love for you is also everlasting.

During this time in the history of your nation when such darkness has entered it, remember that you are not of the world, but you are in the world.  You are of My Kingdom which means that you can enjoy My peace, righteousness, and joy through every fiery trial that you might experience.  REJOICE!!

ROMANS 14:17; PSALM 145:13

FAIL

I keep My Word.  I am a promise keeper and a covenant keeper.  The children of Israel had gone through the wilderness and had spent much of that time complaining to Moses about Me, but I still kept My promises to them.

I promised to take them to the promised land.  Moses never got to see the land of promise because he mocked Me in front of the children of Israel.  

Joshua along with Caleb were the only ones who survived the generation that died in the wilderness. After  Joshua entered the promised land he wrote: "There failed no good thing that the LORD had spoken to the house of Israel; all came to pass."  I will never fail to keep My promises.

JOSHUA 21:45

MARCH

You used to sing the song, "Onward Christian Soldiers, marching as to war."  You are definitely in a period of darkness, and some of My prayer warriors are getting weary.  

This is not a time to become weary.  As you supplicate for your nation, give thanks to Me for I am hearing your prayers.

This is not a time to break rank.  This is a time for you to join with fellow warriors who will keep marching because they have confidence in Me that I will lead them to victory.  Pray for all My prayer warriors to join with others in prayer, and you will see the victory.

JOEL 2

GREAT

 David wrote the following song about My city: "Great is the LORD , and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King (Psalm 48:1-2).

This psalm is about the beautiful city where I live and how it is situated in a special place on the sides of the North.  However, I know that when you sing this song, you interpret it to mean that I am beautiful for every situation.

Many of My saints find themselves in a hard place in life.  I will help them to get through those hard places because truly I am able to make all things beautiful.

PSALM 48:1-2

ADOPTION

I came to heal those who have broken hearts.  Most broken-hearted people have had some trauma or abuse in their lives that has opened a door to My enemy. My enemy is a bully, and he always takes advantage of people who are vulnerable.

I was despised and rejected by men, so I can understand how rejected people feel.  Ever since Satan was rejected by My Father and thrown out of heaven, Satan wants everyone to experience rejection.

My Word is the only way you can successfully fight the stronghold of rejection that Satan puts in your mind.  The Word that you can use to resist Satan when you have feelings of rejection is: "For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby you can cry, Abba Father."  My Father is a loving Father who will never reject you.

ROMANS 8:15

MAKER

I am the maker of heaven and earth.  By Me, for Me, and through Me was everything created.  The psalmist said, "O come let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our maker (Psalm 95:6)."

I made created you in My image.  Romans 8:29: "For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren." You are going through a period of darkness when My enemy is trying to steal the identity of even small children.  

Pray for those little children who are being taught that they can be anything that they want to be.  These lies of Satan need to be bound.  Release My Spirit of Truth to invade those classrooms where such lies are being taught.

COLOSSIANS 1:16; PSALM 95:6; ROMANS 8:29

DRAW

I told my disciples that if I be lifted up above the earth, I will draw all men unto Me.  The disciples did not understand because they did not know that I would be crucified.

When I was lifted up upon the tree and was crucified as the perfect sin sacrifice, I made it possible to draw all men to Me.  Sadly, many have chosen not to believe in the forgiveness for sins that I freely gave to all who would believe in Me.

My Holy Spirit has the drawing power to convict people of their sins, and this power is being displayed in many places.  Pray for many unbelievers to be overwhelmed by this power and confess Me as their LORD and Savior.

JOHN 12:32
