Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Seek peace and pursue it. Go after it with determination and zeal. Obtain peace by standing on My promises. Align your mind with the mind of Christ. This spirit of peace brings a new sense of purpose. It frees your mind to dwell on other things. Instead of fixating on worry and fear, you focus on truth and strength.  The courage that results is a gift from the trust you place in Me. Recall Jeremiah 29:11 and be reminded that My plans for you include a future and a hope. These plans are a promise. Each one of My precious children have a special future, designed just for them, as they unite with Me.

As always, one day at a time, step by step, yoked to Me. Live in the present. Praise always. Hope always. Rejoice always.

‘For I know what plans I have in mind for you’ says ADONAI, ‘plans for well-being, not for bad things; so that you can have hope and a future.’  Jeremiah 29:11 CJB

I hear the Lord say:

My Word is your armor.  Fear is on the loose during this time of global crisis. Do not let it rule and reign and poison your thoughts.  Come to Me, your shield and buckler, your ever present help in trouble.  Surrender control to the one who knows and loves you.  At this time seek My heart more deeply and more intimately.  This is precious time to ponder, to dwell, to meditate and abide in My presence.  In this time you will grow and the result will be more fruit and your priorities will revealed.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

John 15:2  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

I am the Way Maker – the Light in the Darkness. During these uncertain times, know that I am certain. I am steadfast. I am true. I light your way in the darkness. Although the world will have trouble, fear not, I have overcome the world. See, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone opens the door, I will come in and dine with them. I will abide with you, day and night, through thick and thin, through pestilence and disease, through war and famine. Though 10,000  may fall, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. Abide in the shelter of My wings; run into My strong tower. You are safe with Me. All who dwell in the shadow of the Most High will be saved.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

Psalm 91: 1 ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Peace, peace, I leave you. This peace is your warm blanket on a cold winter’s day. This peace is the sun shining on a grassy meadow. This peace is the sound of bird song in the morning. This peace settles in your heart. It keeps you calm when things around you are not. This peace is from heaven and cannot be duplicated by human hands. This peace is the love that pours out from My heavenly throne. Each day, each moment, receive My peace.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way.

The Lord be with you all. 

2 Thessalonians 3:16  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Open your eyes and ears to hear My holy whisper. In each task lean in to hear My voice. A routine errand can be a holy assignment. Let Me saturate your thoughts. Let Me guard your future and map out your encounters.

Fear is gripping the nation over the corona virus. People go happily on their way; then are stopped in their tracks by something they can’t control. As you have learned and are learning, control is an illusion. It’s trust in Me that is real. In human mindset, it’s illogical.  In a holy mindset, it’s indispensable. As you rest in My presence, and find joy in My presence, it will bubble up and spill over into those around you

Let Me guide your decisions of what to do and where to go. Let peace reign in your heart.

Philippians 4:7 “ And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Philippians 4:8  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

You read how light casts out darkness. Mild or moderate light can leave shadows. But My light is so intense it removes all shadows of doubt, fear and confusion. In My Light, you see with brilliance the glory of Who I AM and what I do. Like the sun at noon, there is no shadow or turning. I am true North, your true direction and compass to guide you on your journey.

With My light and My compass, you won’t get lost. “Where are my provisions?” you ask. I will supply them along the way. I will take care of everything. No need to fret or worry or pack a bag. I know what you need,  when you need it. A journey to a place on earth requires planning and preparation, packing and provisions. A journey with Me is fluid and based on your trust in Me, obedience to follow and allowing Me to lead and provide. No longer self-sufficient, but God-dependent. Since the plans I have for you are for your good (Jeremiah 29:11), you can trust Me.  Take one day at a time. Anticipate new adventures with Me – joy and peace will settle in your soul as you increase your trust in Me.

And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Matthew 4:19  ESV
