    I hear the Lord say:

    My Holy Spirit is the Divine Encourager and the Divine Comforter. He is your connection to Me. His presence is manifest in gifts and fruit. Allow your inner spirit to be aligned with the Divine Spirit. United is how we are meant to be.

    Holy Spirit reminds you throughout the day of My lovingkindness, My mercy and My wisdom. Seek His presence often. My supernatural peace will keep your heart and mind guarded and protected from the demands of life. Focus on appreciation moments.  Let Me renew your thinking.  My plans for you include hope and prosperity.

    And God’s peace, which is far beyond human understanding,

    will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.

    Philippians 4:7  GNB

    I hear the Lord say:

    Peace you ask for, Peace I give you. Not the peace of man but the peace of heaven. I give you a ‘piece’ of heaven by abiding in you and filling you with My supernatural peace.  Joy is your portion. Joy is your strength. Let My joy bubble up from inside you. Let My Holy laughter resound in your spirit. It’s a new day and one that will be covered in My anointing.

    Enter His gates with a song of thanksgiving

    And His courts with praise.

    Be thankful to Him,

    bless and praise His name.

    For the Lord is good;

    His mercy and lovingkindness are everlasting,

    His faithfulness to all generations.

    Psalm 100: 4-5  AMP

    I hear the Lord say:

    I anoint your head with oil.

    Your cup of grace and mercy overflow from the living waters of My Goodness. 

    My love has no bounds for you.

    My oil of gladness covers you and soaks into every fiber of your being. 

    My anointing oil brings health and wholeness to your mind, body and spirit.

    Let it soak into your bones bringing renewal, restoration and refreshment.

    You have anointed and refreshed my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
    Psalm 23:5   AMP

    I hear the Lord say:

    One day at a time. All in good time. I will reveal your steps as you need them. Trust Me. Let the day, week, month, and year unfold. Watch it as a blossom opens to a full flower. It is meant to be a gradual process and one to enjoy.  The beauty is each step; bud to blossom, blossom to open flower.  Enjoy the day.

    Celebrate the unfolding.

    Let your hope keep you joyful,

    be patient in troubles,

    and pray at all times.

    Romans 12:12  GNB

    I hear the Lord say:

    Let Me put your mind at ease. The enemy wants to insert fear in your life. Believe that when you cast out fear that you have accessed My Kingdom power and it is done. My Word goes forth as a sword and vanquishes the enemy and his minions in one swift stroke. 

    Put negative thoughts behind you and focus on My goodness and holiness.  My throne room is yours to access for power and authority.

    The name ‘Jesus” will cast out any and all fear, doubt and confusion.

    And He said to them, “Why are you troubled,

    and why do doubts arise in your hearts?”

    Luke 24:38   ESV

    I hear the Lord say:

    Fear is from the enemy. My children have no reason to fear. Outward circumstances may appear dire but I transcend current events. My holy power is ever present, alive and active, and all around you.  Take comfort and be confident of My loving care.  As a mother hen hides and protects her chicks under her wings, so I spread my pinions over you. My angels hover nearby, guarding and watching. My abiding presence is within you.  Tap into it and maintain a mind focused on possibilities, opportunities, and new experiences.  Revel in my supernatural power which overcomes earthly trials.  Like a soldier, be prepared for battle.  I have equipped you with weapons of warfare to be victorious.  Be courageous and confront all lies and reports of bad news with the truth and power of My Word.

    Happy are those who remain faithful under trials,
    because when they succeed in passing such a test,
    they will receive as their reward the life which 
    God has promised to those who love Him.
    James 1:12  GNB

    I hear the Lord say:

    As you stretch the ribbon bookmark and pull out the wrinkles, I give you opportunities to stretch and be a greater reflection of My Goodness.  Like a steam iron pressing out the wrinkles of a garment, I allow heat and steam in your life to remove unwanted creases and to create a garment fashioned in My image.  You are perfect because I am perfect. You can’t rub out a wrinkle with your own effort. My Holy Presence gently applies pressure in the right places to release unhealthy habits and create an environment of loving trust.  Let Me continually mold you into the vessel of My choice.  Think of pressure in life in a new way.   Instead of fleeing it, wanting to avoid it and being exhausted from it, embrace it and see it as a growth tool.

    Applied pressure is a method to create something new.  Pressure in a pressure cooker creates a meal.  Pressure changes rock into other forms.  Pressure applied to a wound stops bleeding.  Pressure is applied to remove a stain from clothes or other surfaces.

    The wind blows trees and plants by pressure.  You feel the wind on your face on a boat ride due to speed and pressure.  Recall how the wind blowing on your face removes all the cares of the world.  Let My Holy Spirit blow afresh on you today!

    I press on toward the goal 
    for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
    Philippians 3:14. ESV
