Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Be assured my best is working in and for you. Your trials are opportunities to s-t-r-e-t-c-h your faith.  Don’t keep faith in a box or building; let it expand to overflow. Let the Spirit loose!  Like a young foal kicking up its heels – just for sheer joy- let My Spirit of Joy be released!

Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy.

Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times. 

Romans 12:12  TPT

I hear the Lord say:

I AM your Savior, your Guide and Lord and I AM also your friend. I am deserving of all adoration and reverential fear, but I am also closer than a brother.

As your heavenly Father, My deepest desire is to abide in My children. I desire My children to be a family – a true family – with unique and complimentary gifts – who encourage each other, exhort each other, comfort and console each other, teach each other and provide for each other.

My family joins together in common purpose to share the light and life of the Father, Son and Spirit who make and mend all things. 

And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship,

to the breaking of bread and prayers.   Acts 2: 42  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

My heart is so big for My children! My love cannot be measured – it has no bounds! My compassion is expressed in My abundant mercy and grace. Since I am Love, I want you to be Love as well. Share  My goodness with a smile, a hug, a word, a deed, a sacrifice, a song of praise!  Offer hope, extend comfort, pray for healing, intercede in My Throne Room. Praise and thanksgiving belong to Me, the lover of your soul!

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God,

and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

I hear the Lord say:

I specialize in enlightening my children! I shed light in the darkness and surgically remove tumors and growths that inhibit them from experiencing true freedom and oneness with me.  My Spirit Sword, which rightly divides the truth, is  my scalpel that deftly excises negative thoughts, old thought patterns, distortions, misconceptions, lies and fear. I remove them, bind the wounds and heal the scars. Then I dip you in my Holy bath, washing you clean, restoring you to wholeness. As a renewed follower, you are now considered pure and righteous.  You can equip yourself with my armor to prevent further attacks from foreign bodies – attacks toward your mind, body or spirit.  You are more than a conqueror!

Rise up, my child. Rise up and heed the call to battle!  Victory is assured!  Victory is mine!

And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace,

and be healed of your disease.”  Mark 5:34  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Recall how I said “With God, all things are possible”? You had blinders on regarding your current situation. You felt the best you could do was hang on, grit your teeth and bear it. Once you realized it was your preconceived, programmed mindset that was blocking your progress, you realized change was possible. You removed the blinders and saw a new path. You carved a new “wheel track” in your mind. One of peace, joy and calm.  Your new path replaced your old rut of negative thinking. And you can see the consequences of it now. Your burden is light, your energy is up, your efficiency increased, your attitude joyful.

Say to those who have an anxious heart,“Be strong; fear  not!  Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.”  Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.”  Isaiah 35: 4-6  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Dear daughter, you are seeing how abiding in My peace and joy is transforming your inner thoughts and outward expressions. My peace in your heart is transforming your mind and emotions. You have a new perspective, a new way of thinking – this is what is coined a ‘renewed mind.’ This is the doing of the Holy Spirit as you surrender to His will.

No one can abide in Me unless first denying your ‘self’ and your ‘old man.’  You have laid down the ‘self’ on My altar and I have created a new self in you – one that reflects My image.  As you experience this new joy and this new peace, and see how walking with Me in trust and surrender removes stress and strife, you crave more of it.

Events in life may rock your boat but I am here to keep you on course.

So we do not lose heart. … our inner self is being renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 4:16   ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Let me bring to mind your To Do list and consider it all joy.

Let’s go through the day without hurrying or fretting.

All is well.

Remember I am the Master of Time.

Freedom is your word for the day!

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 

John 8:36  ESV
