Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

I am your strength and song. I accept your worship and praise. I offer a life of fulfillment and satisfaction as we partner together. Let Me be your source and strength. Take stock of your input and output. Fill your mind with good things. Fill your body with healthy food. Fill your heart with songs of deliverance. Peace, joy, mercy, goodness, kindness, self-control – the fruits of the Spirit require cultivation. Don’t let weeds choke them out.

If you make a tree good, its fruit will be good;

and if you make a tree bad, its fruit will be bad;

for a tree is known by its fruit. 

Matthew 12:33 CJB

I hear the Lord say:

I am Good – I encompass ‘good’ and create ‘good.’ David said “goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life (Psalm 23:6). I, the Lord, fill you with goodness so you can share it with others. My goodness is all you need. My goodness contains Love, Joy, Peace, Mercy and Kindness.  My goodness is the core of My being. Like the earth’s core and sun’s core, it is strong and mighty, unmeasurable and powerful.

Goodness radiates out the love and fruit that I want to share. Goodness is the key treasure – it’s to be sought after and to be honored as a kingdom tool. Keep goodness in your heart.  Lock goodness in your mind. Out of goodness flows living water.

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 

he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to

his mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being

justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

I hear the Lord say:

The angels cry “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord!”  All creation calls me “Holy.”  All creation reflects My Holiness. Being “wholly mine” is already accomplished because I abide in you. It’s only when you forget Me inside you that you feel “unholy.”  

Every day, every moment, I surround and enter your heart and mind. Your mind is to be an open door – allowing My Holy Presence to enter freely, sweep the floor, tidy up and bring a freshening spirit.  Old cobwebs from past thoughts or doubts are removed. Dust and debris are swept away, making room for clean and pure thoughts and motives. Your sparkling house is My abode.  We live here together, in harmony and joy, content and happy. 

As God”s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. Instead, shape your lives to  become like the Holy One who called you. For Scripture says: “You are to be holy, because I am holy.”

I Peter 1:14-16  TPT

And one called to another and said, “

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts,

the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Isaiah 6:3 ESV

I hear the Lord say:

You matter. You matter to Me.  I created you and I love all that I create. I abide in you and have a purpose and plan for you. Your relationship with Me is the key. Draw closer to Me… Dig deeper – you will discover the treasures I have for you. Set your mind on Christ, the author and finisher of your faith. As I offer joy and peace, embrace it, fill up with it and spread it to others.

Your future is secure with Me. Your ‘present’ is Me.  Today and tomorrow, our bond is secure. Your life is precious to Me. Recapture joy today – a new day, a new joy, a new revelation of My presence and power.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God:

How vast is the sum of them!

Psalm 139:17  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Valentine’s Day is a day we celebrate “love” for each other.  I offer a deeper and truer love for you.  Families love each other; parents love their children, spouses love each other, young adults ‘fall’ in love. My love is the original love. My love is unconditional, unwavering and unchanging. You can count on My love in all circumstances, all highs and lows, every day, everywhere.

My love is the only love that satisfies.  My love settles you and gives you purpose and belonging. My love encourages you, challenges you, corrects you, guides you. My love is never ending; a well that never runs dry.

When humans fail you or disappoint you, when events upturn you, turn to Me and be assured that My love prevails. My love conquers all. My love is the strong tower you run into.  My love protects and My love defends.  I love My children so much!

…the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.

Psalm 33:5  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

As you feel warm and cozy under the covers, so I cover you with My spiritual blanket. My comforter is not of down or fabric but is the true Comforter – My Holy Spirit. As a Comforter, He makes you feel safe and secure. You cannot remove My Comforter – He is ever present and ever true. His truths blanket you from lies and doubts. His wrap around love travels with you. Like a supernatural cocoon, Holy Spirit is entwined in your heart to keep you safe in the Father’s arms.  Let this bubble of love remind you each day of the grace and mercy, truth and love, joy and gladness, that infuse the hearts and minds of those who follow Me.  Cares and troubles cease as you rely on the Holy Spirit’s comfort. He is a ‘wash and wear’ product! You are cleansed and then clothed in My righteousness.

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with jewels.

Isaiah 61:10  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

No dream is too big for Me.  I cannot be contained, therefore, dreams cannot be too big. Testimonies of miracles wrought reflect that I move in My children’s lives to cause events to happen. My goodness is pervasive.  My goodness is constant.

Dare to dream…and dream big.

Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!  He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.

Ephesians 3:20 TPT
