Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

The spirit of fear is wreaking havoc in the world and causing people to make irrational decisions.  Recognize that this fear is from the pit of hell and not of human making. The spirit of fear causes division and strife. When fear enters your mind, acknowledge it and cast it out with the power of My love.  Perfect love casts out fear and I AM perfect love. Your battle is against spiritual forces. My heavenly army is at your side, slaying the enemy and bringing you victory!  “I have Christ!” is your battle cry!  The power and might of heaven itself is available to all believers.  Just call on My name… today, tomorrow and ever after. Be confident that the outcome will be victorious.

fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;

I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10  ESV

My Praise to the Lord:

LORD, oh LORD, you are high and lifted up! You are exalted above all the earth! You created heaven and earth with a thought, with a word. Your spirit breathes life and light into our being. Your goodness and grace have no bounds!

You, oh LORD, deserve all my honor and praise!  Only You, You alone, are worthy.   I worship You in Your holy temple! I bow down before You, and worship at Your feet. 

Blessed be the name of the LORD, our God, mighty and just!  May the whole world bow before You and acknowledge Your great name. The name above all names, the Holy One, the Father, Son and Spirit in whom we live and move and have our being. 

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth.”

I hear the Lord say:

New, new, new. People like new things: new car, new clothes, new shoes, new hairstyle, new adventures.  Newness breaks the monotony of ordinary life, but newness is fleeting. The car, clothes and shoes all wear out. The new experiences become distant memories. I have a permanent ‘new’ for you – My mercies are new every morning. My love and grace are renewed daily.  My promises are ‘yes’ and ‘amen.’ With each new day, new hope arises. You are given the opportunity to know Me deeper, to experience new revelations, and to share My love in a new way.  My creativity has no end.  Seek to discover new things about Me. The well of treasures is deep; dive in! 

Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being;

the old is gone, the new has come.

I hear the Lord say:

Your physical, emotional and spiritual well-being is of extreme importance to Me.  I desire to bring you shalom (wholeness) into all areas of your life.  Come to Me to ‘release’ items of concern, one by one, day by day, to bring you the freedom you desire. This freedom will release you from the cares of this world and keep you focused on your connection with Me.  Taste and see; I guarantee you will like it!

O taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed

is the one who takes refuge in Him.

Psalm 34:8  NIV

I hear the Lord say:

I offer My peace to you because it is the only true peace.  The world’s peace is transitory and fleeting. My divine peace is peace that is calm in a storm, it is peace that trusts in a crisis, it is peace that believes in My goodness.  Peace is an internal state. Abide with Me and you will maintain this peace. Don’t worry about losing peace; I am here to restore your peace on a moment’s notice.

And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart,

that peace] which transcends all understanding,

[that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours].

Philippians 4:7  AMP

I hear the Lord say:

Many are the burdens you bear.  It is not for you to bear the burdens of the world. I am the burden-bearer. I already bore the burden of sin and death and conquered both with My crucifixion, burial and resurrection. I call you to relinquish your burdens. Give them all to Me.  Cast them off, this heavy load, into My loving arms. You are yoked to Me and we walk together each day, focusing on the will of our Father, abiding in the vine,  saturated by His divine presence, recalling His goodness and praising His sovereignty. Lift up your prayers, surrender your will, let it be done as the Father sees fit. Let your soul say “All is well”.

“Come to me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28  CJB

I hear the Lord say:

When you feel off-balance, lean on Me.  When you feel uncertain, lean on Me. When your steps feel shaky, hold My hand. The current world events can leave you dizzy and ungrounded, but My Words, My promises, My character, can bring you a rock-steady faith that trusts day by day. Each day you have is still a gift.  Each day you have is filled with miracles.  Each day you have can draw you closer to Me.  Each day you have can refine your character as you abide in Me. A refining fire is hot. Fire can be uncomfortable. But its heat is meant to draw out the impurities. Allow Me to refine and prune you to be who I called you to be.

 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—

more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—

may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
