    I hear the Lord say:

    I am mighty to save – mighty in power, mighty in grace, mighty in compassion, mighty in salvation. You allowed the enemy to taunt you and fill your mind with lies. I do care about you and your family. I care more than you do. I will restore the years the locusts have eaten. I am in the business of restoration.

    Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
    break forth, O mountains, into singing!
    For the Lord has comforted his people and 
    will have compassion on his afflicted.
    Isaiah 49:13  ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Living water flows from My heart to yours, from My life to your life, from My throne to your being.  There is power in My Living Water, renewal from My Living Water, and fulfillment within My Living Water.  Nothing can stop My Holy flood.  It surges from My throne to all believers to empower them with life-giving truth, freedom and strength. It flows continuously.  As Hoover Dam generates electricity, My surging water generates supernatural sparks of joy, life and power. A river of water whose source is the Giver of Life itself.

    On the last day of the feast, the great day,
    Jesus stood up and cried out,
    “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
    Whoever believes  in me, as the Scripture has said,
    “Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
    John 7:37-38 ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    I am beside you. I see and understand your mental fatigue. This is an opportunity to tap into My Strength.  You see that you are weak and need supernatural strength. It’s yours for the asking.

    Let it soak in, like a sponge.  At first, dry, but now wet and dripping.  I fill you with peace and joy.  Let Me send Holy rain to refresh and encourage you.

    “My grace is always more than enough for you,
    and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.” 
    …For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power. 
    2 Cor 12:9-10 TPT

    I hear the Lord say:

    Let your mind be at peace.

    My daily Word is your portion.

    Feed on it, chew on it, ponder it. Let it settle in your soul.

    As Emily Freeman says “Do the next right thing.” 

    Trust Me to move, to guide, to remind, to nudge.

    Let Me be your Confidante, your Savior, your Friend.

    I assure you and most solemnly say to you, he who believes [in Me as Savior —
    whoever adheres to, trusts in, relies on, and has faith in Me–already]
    has eternal life [that is, now possesses it]. 
     I am the Bread of Life [the Living Bread which gives and sustains life].
    John 6: 47-48  AMP

    I hear the Lord say:

    Let go. Let go of condemnation. Let go of fear. Submit your thoughts to My purging and cleansing. Fall on your knees in humble adoration. Let the healing rain cascade over you. Let it soak you to the skin and remove all spot and blemish. Let your salty tears fall and mingle with My Holy Spirit shower.  Holy Spirit washes all away. Let the warmth of the sun dry you. 

    You stand up tall, renewed in body, mind and spirit, to go forth in victory and power. Let Me be your guiding light, your commander-in-chief, your front and rear guard, as we drive the enemy from our midst.  Your deeds will be victorious because I am with you!

    “…And now why do you wait?

    Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins,

    calling on His name.” 

    Acts 22:16  ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Come and see. Come and sit. Come and learn. Come to be loved. Come to be satisfied. Follow Me; walk beside Me. Do what I do.  Feed the hungry, care for the sick, visit widows and orphans, share My love. Many thirst for love.  They receive My love through the mercy bestowed by My children.

    “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’”

    Matthew 25: 34-36  ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Like the construction in your neighborhood, you are under construction. A new habit and a new mindset take time and perseverance. Your spiritual journey involves digging, building, and supporting this new mindset. It requires maintenance and renovation as time goes on. The new pathways being constructed in your mind are like new roads being paved as you trust in Me. Your renewed mind sees Me in all circumstances and abides in peace. Traveling on these roads daily will form a path that will allow your first thought to be of trust. Your former negative thought pathways have a ‘road closed ahead’ sign. Put on your hard hat! Road work ahead...Let’s build together!

    Let me know Your ways, O Lord,

    teach me Your paths.

    Guide me in Your truth and teach me.

    For you are the God of my salvation;

    For you, and only You I wait expectantly all the day long.

    Psalm 25:4-5  AMP
