Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Old and new.  Old and New Testament. Old and new revelations. Old and new experiences. Old and new challenges. Old and new treasures.  Do not forget the challenges and victories of the past. They serve to remind you of My Goodness, My Faithfulness, My Everlasting Arms that cover and protect. Although I want you to live in the “now”, it is good to recall the past blessings to fortify your mind to expect future blessings.  I see the beginning and the end. I weave events with my holy golden thread, creating a unique and extraordinary tapestry that is your life. As each day unfolds, seek My face, abide in My presence and lean in for greater understanding.

I hear the Lord say:

I am the Master Builder. My home, My throne, My heavens and My earth. All were fashioned by My Spirit. I breathe life into My creation. Life in the sea, in the sky, in the mountains, in the meadows, and I breathe life into you! I breathe peace. I breathe joy. I breathe vitality into your body and mind.  I breathe refreshing into your spirit. I breathe newness. As the breeze caresses your face, so My goodness fills and satisfies. My breath is wholeness; it is abundance; it is mercy; it is forgiveness; it is contentment.

Abide with Me, stay in tune with me, be immersed in Me.

The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

Job 33: 4  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

I delight in the praises of my people. Shouts of praise, quiet adoration, a tune, a poem, a thank you. Praise is a reflection of joy. Joy is a reflection of thanksgiving. Thankfulness is a reflection of humility. Humility was modeled by My Son, Jesus, who bore the stain of sin for you. He did it gladly in order for our communion to be restored.  He sits at My right hand with full authority and power.

Worship at His feet!  Look upon His scarred hands and face.  See Him reach out His hand to you. He pulls you up and offers you a seat at the banquet table.  Abundance is your inheritance.  Long life, and satisfaction, you will enjoy.  Come, dine with Me.

Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.   Revelation 3:20 NASB

I hear the Lord say:

Shake off the fear like a dog shakes water from his coat. A vigorous shaking, shedding, casting off, of negative thoughts and fears. Absorb the warmth of the sun – it dries you off and restores your mental state.  The enemy desires to rob you of peace, steal your joy and destroy your hope.  My armor is your defense against his arrows. My tower is strong and impregnable. My feathers cover you and protect you. Take heart. Be of good courage. I AM here.

I hear the Lord say:

My breath of life is resurrection power. I blow my Holy Spirit across the waters, bringing hope and restoration to a fallen world. My Word is alive and I quicken the hearts of those who seek Me. A stirring in their souls, asking “Is there more?”,  “Is there a God who cares?” I speak to them, ‘Yes, I am here”, “I love you,” “I care for you,” “Come to Me.” Hearts of stone are melting like wax. They are releasing their wounds to Me. They are casting their cares on Me. They fall on their knees in worship. I lift up their heads. I wipe the tears from their eyes. I smile and they smile. I laugh, they laugh. What joy fills their hearts! They are changed. A new life is born! Angels sing praises as they embrace the love I have for them. All heaven rejoices! This is what I have in store for My children.

And I will give them one heart (a new heart), and put a new spirit within them. I will take from them the heart of stone and will give them a heart of flesh (that is responsive to My touch),”..             Ezekiel 11:19 AMP

“For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”                                                      Revelation 7:17 ESV

I hear the Lord say:

As a humble servant, Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. As a compassionate friend, he wept for the lost, healed the sick and fed the masses. As a suffering servant, He bore the cross and crucifixion. As a divine being, He rose from the dead, conquering sin and death, in glorious resurrection. I open the floodgates of heaven to anoint and bless My children. I bestow gifts to My children, from heaven above. My Holy Spirit gives fruits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These gifts are for your spiritual growth and to share liberally. Exhort and encourage yourself and others.

Blessings abound every day. Look for them: in a new flower blooming, a call from a friend, a prayer answered, an inner peace, a thought or insight planted by Me.

My Holy Spirit abides in you. Give Him more room to grow.

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs –  heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

I hear the Lord say:

In this time, dive into a deeper walk, a greater trust, a deep-seated knowing that I am on your side. I abide in you and our hearts beat as one. As you daily surrender your life, to seek My face, to walk humbly with your Creator and Savior, you will abide in My shadow. My shadow is your protective covering. In My shadow, you find strength and reassurance. As you rest in My shadow, you are calm and at peace. You can absorb and digest My words of truth. You arm yourself for battle with My armor.  My sword, my Living Word, is firmly in your hand. Wield your sword and shield to protect yourself and repel the enemy who wants to attack your mind, body and spirit. The belt of truth encompasses you. This truth is a brilliant light, dispelling the darkness. Gird yourself up with My holy word which brings strength, peace and hope.

Use all the armor and weaponry that God provides,

so that you will be able to stand against the deceptive tactics of the Adversary.
