Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Light and Life.  I bring both to you each and every day.  As the sun rises, and the light increases to noon day, remember that My Light and Life shine in and through you. As the sun brings nourishment to plants and warmth to the earth, so My Light and Life feeds your spirit and soul. Growth will continue as you abide in the vine with Me, attached for life to the Source of Life. Growth will continue despite storms and trials; growth will continue with seasons and pruning, growth will continue as you diligently seek My face.

Be encouraged. My Light and Life are yours in abundance, to overflowing, with a never-ending supply!

There it was—the true Light [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone.

Reflections on “The Lord’s Prayer”, Matthew 6:9, “Our Father…”

Father of ‘us’. One Father of one family, the whole of humanity.

A loving, caring, nurturing Father who provides all our needs.

A Father who is trustworthy, true, proud of His children; joyful, enjoying time with His kids, playing and laughing.

A dependable Father – one who guides, protects and defends.

I hear the LORD say:

I am a father to the fatherless. I am the father who loves you unconditionally. I am the father who is steady, trustworthy and reliable.  I am the father who listens to you. I am the father who has compassion and mercy on you.  I am the father who seeks the lost until they are safe in my arms. I am the father who loves you with an everlasting love.

“I love you with an everlasting love;

this is why in my grace I draw you to me.”

Jeremiah 31:2  CJB

I hear the Lord say:

Be willing to ‘stretch’, to dig deeper, to ponder with intent, to meditate on life, on Scripture, on truth. Falsehoods, lies, and deceptions will fall off your mind as you absorb the truth of My words. The enemy wishes to distract you with current events, but the truth is that “I am the same, yesterday, today and forever.”  My sovereignty, My power, My justice, My grace, My love, My faithfulness… all remain and can never be shaken. Choose where to fix your gaze.  Choosing Me brings life and hope.  Choose to look at life with a heavenly, eternal perspective. Choose the way of love.

I call on heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have presented you with life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore, choose life, so that you will live, you and your descendants, loving Adonai your God, paying attention to what he says and clinging to him – for that is the purpose of your life!

Deuteronomy 30:19-20  CJB

Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same – yesterday, today and forever.

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.

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
