Words from the Lord during prayer and devotional journaling

recent posts

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I have recorded past journal entries from devotional journaling as well as nature and travel photos. It is my aim to pass on the encouragement of the Lord to other sisters in Christ.

    • Light and life

      I hear the Lord say:

      Let Me be first in your life. As Supreme Commander and Holy God, I am worthy of your reverence and praise! The heavenly host surround Me day and night, crying “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord.”  My children worship at My throne.  In My omnipotence, I intercede in My children’s earthly lives. I seek divine connection with My created. In My image, I created you. I seek to reveal truth and bless you. I seek to move in power in your life and in those around you. I seek to bring revelation light to the lost.

      Shine, shine, shine the light of glory and hope to bring the lost lambs into the fold. The shepherd, My son Jesus, cares for the sheep and goes after the lost. He pursues the lost sheep diligently, until He finds it and returns it to the fold where it belongs.

      “For the Son of Man came to seek and save the lost.”

      Luke 19:10  ESV

    • Inhale grace, exhale love

      I hear the Lord say:

      Abiding in Me is your one and only goal. Your goal is to align with what I planned from the beginning. I am at your side. To increase your awareness of it, consider each breath you take as an inhalation of grace and an exhalation of agape love. Each breath you take is a gift; a gift of life that means you are an ambassador of Christ, a sister to all, and the hands and feet of Jesus. As Jesus did the will of the Father, so He desires for all believers to follow the Father’s will. 

      Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you.
      If what you heard from the beginning abides in you,
      then you too will abide in the Son and in the Father.
      I John 2:24  ESV

    • Light of the World

      I hear the Lord say:

      My love is like a beacon, as bright as the sun. More powerful than the gas giant, more penetrating and never ending.  Like a ball of fire in the sky, whose light can blind in its intensity, so My love burns for My children. Although the sun has a beginning and an end, My love has always been. My love is gentle, My love is kind. As the sun brightens and beckons life from the earth, so my supernatural light brings health and vitality to your spirit. My light heals. My light warms. My light comforts. Let the Divine Exchange bring My holiness into your being. Trade sorrow for joy. Rejoice in the Light that abolishes darkness.

      For with you is the fountain of life;
      in your light do we see light.
      Psalm 36:9  ESV

    • Rhythms of Grace

      I hear the Lord say:

      Enjoy the bird song, the morning air, the quiet stillness. Soak in My peace. Cast your cares on Me. My Word and My Life, abiding in you, is the only avenue to fill the longing in your soul.

      Be content that life is a day to day event. Yesterday is past. Leave it there. Let tomorrow sit in My hands. Today, see the beauty I share. Today, dwell in the rhythms of grace.

      “Refuse to worry about tomorrow,
      but deal with each challenge that comes your way,
      one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”
      Matthew 6:34  TPT

    • Abide and Trust

      I hear the Lord say:

      Don’t worry about your future and how you will respond to crises. Let each day come. Rejoice in each day, knowing that I am with you. I can speak to you in all circumstances. Fear and worry can block or hinder you from hearing Me. As you abide and trust, let Me guide and advise.

      Trust in the Lord completely,
      and do not rely on your own opinions.
      With all your heart rely on Him to guide you,
      and He will lead you in every decision you make.
      Proverbs 3:5   TPT

    • Holy ‘super glue’

      I hear the Lord say:

      Let My Holy Spirit be the glue that bonds us together. As Father, Son and Spirit are one – you are one with Us through Holy Spirit connection. Like ‘super glue’, our bond cannot be broken. Let this image be ingrained in your mind. When I say “Nothing can separate us,” I mean it. The measure of My bond is displayed in the depth of My love for you – that I offered My Son to die in your place. Because Jesus conquered sin and death, you have a new life and a secure place in My heavenly kingdom. 

      Once bonded, forever united. You are bound and free at the same time. United with Me in purpose and free from the shackles of sin. Like Paul, a bond servant of Christ, free from sin and death, freely yoked to your Savior. 

      But now that you have been set free from sin
      and have become slaves of God,
      the fruit you get leads to sanctification
      and its end, eternal life.
      Romans 6:22  ESV

    • Fullness of Joy

      I hear the Lord say:

      Remain diligent and steadfast in quiet times with Me. Problems look bigger when you lose contact with Me. I am here, but for you to sense Me, you must activate your faith. Let My Word minister to you. Let Me wash you, refresh you, renew you, restore you… ‘that your joy may be full.”

      These things I have spoken to you,
      that my joy may be in you,
      and that your joy may be full.”
      John 15:11   ESV
