Words & Whispers

Studying Psalm 51, Hebrew word for ‘lovingkindness’ is  “chesed.” I hear the Lord say:

Many are My loving thoughts toward you. My lovingkindness, my ‘chesed’ extends to all My children. Each one is special and unique to Me. Each one is cherished and adored. As you study Psalm 51, you see how David recognizes how deeply I love him and Israel and am merciful to him despite his severe transgressions.  I am so merciful that I sent My beloved Son to die in your place. All transgressions were blotted out because of my ‘chesed’ – my persistent, unfailing love bond for My children.  My covenant extends to all believers. I welcome them with open arms.

Grasp how deep, how wide and how long is this love of Mine. When John wrote, “God is love”, this is what he was describing.

For great is his steadfast love toward us,

and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 117:2  ESV

I hear the Lord say:

Fear is tied to worry, doubt and dread. Fear is the root cause of all negative thinking. You recall I said “Cast off fear” and “Fear not.” Recall how I care more for you than the sparrow. Recall how precious you are to Me. Would a loving Father not care for his precious daughter? In fact, He would do everything in His power to protect her, care for her, and bless her. In My great love for you, I sacrificed My one and only Son for your life to be spared. My love is deeper and greater than any love on earth.

You can be confident in this love and therefore do not need to fear anything. “Perfect love casts out fear” (I John 4:18). Let My perfect love keep you in peace and harmony as you abide in Me.

…for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

Studying Genesis 24, I asked the Lord about the word ‘success.’ I hear Him say:

Success is my middle name! I am successful in all that I do. I am perfect in all My ways. I create galaxies and micro-organisms. I knit you together in your mother’s womb. I create life.  I AM who I AM. You desire success. Success is to do the will of the Father as you saw Jesus do. Success is recorded in Micah 6:8:

“What does the Lord require of you?  To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

This is the way.  Walk in it.

… the Lord has told us what is good. What he requires of us is this:

to do what is just, to show constant love,

and to live in humble fellowship with our God.

Micah 6:8 GNB

I hear the Lord say:

I wish you all joy, my dear one. I will train you to hear My voice so you can keep step with Me and not be lead astray by voices not from Me. As a shepherd that lays His life down for the sheep, I offer you supernatural protection and loving care. It’s safe when you stay near Me. Keep your ears open and assess each voice you hear. If the voice is condemning, judgmental or accusatory, cast it off.  I give your supernatural ear plugs to block the voice of the enemy. Arrows of lies and doubts fall to the ground before they reach you.

I call to you from the green mountain pastures. Come up higher with Me.  Come up high where there is sparkling fresh water from a mountain stream to drink in safety and abundance. Let Me show you the way.

All may drink of the anointing from the abundance of your house.

All may drink their fill from the delightful springs of Eden.

To know you is to experience a flowing fountain, drinking in your life,

springing up to satisfy.

I hear the Lord say:

Peace is the state of mind I wish for you. Let My peace reign in your heart. When peace rules, it supersedes all other distracting emotions – no more worry, fear, doubt or dread. Think of ‘peace’ as a crown on your head.  Jesus is the Prince of Peace and He lives inside of you – leading you, guiding you and holding a place of true authority.  You are robed in righteousness and can be a “princess of peace”. As a co-heir to My Kingdom, you have authority to cast down any thoughts or emotions that oppose peace. Stand tall and declare “Peace reigns in me!” 

For although He was crucified as a ‘weakling,” now He lives robed with God’s power. And we also are ‘weak ones’ in our co-crucifixion with him, but now we live in God’s triumphant power together with him, which is demonstrated on your behalf.

I hear the Lord say:

Today is your day to express joy; the joy I put in your DNA.  It’s my spark of joy I placed in you at creation. It’s a spark that ignites a flame, increasing to a full-fledged fire. A fire that consumes – burning all past mistakes to ash. It’s a fire that brings the warmth of My home to hands reaching out for warmth and life.

Anxiety, fear and doubt will try to suppress your flame. Use the armor you possess to deflect any dampening of trust, love and freedom. Then use My promises to fan the flames.

I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift God imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you.
