Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

I offer the refreshment you seek and the infilling you crave.

I am the source of Life,

bringing purpose and fulfillment to your daily life.

Let Me shower you with goodness.

You can sprinkle it around as you meet others through the day.

And the Lord said:

“I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you,

and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. 

Exodus 33:19 NIV

I hear the Lord say:

You want to be busy but busy-ness is overrated. Let your hair down and enjoy spending extra time communing with Me. Be a sponge. Soak in more of Me. Then your longings will be satisfied. When a sponge is dry, it is lifeless and useless. When it absorbs water, it becomes pliable and useful. As it becomes full, it drips excess water. You be that sponge. Absorb all I have for you and drip excess Holy Spirit. Leave a trail of spirit-filled drips wherever you go.  I’ll refill you each morning.

Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you,

no one can enter the kingdom of God

unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

John 3:5  NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Like a watered garden, I offer a peaceful, tranquil respite for you today and for days to come.  Enter the garden with Me. Pull back the long branches of the willow tree and step into a secure haven designed just for you. See the rippling water, feel the cool air on your face, hear the birds chirping, and relax. Your mind will slow and calm as you take in your surroundings and inhale my sweet fragrance. My oil of gladness covers you and lifts your spirits. Put your feet in the water and enjoy the coolness on your toes. Watch the fish swimming nearby. Let all cares melt away and bask in my enveloping love.  All is well.

They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;

they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord – the grain,

the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds.

They will be like a well-watered garden, 

and they will sorrow no more.

Jeremiah 31:12

I hear the Lord say:

I delight in your praise and worship. My heavenly angels praise and worship Me all day and night. Their cries of “Holy, Holy, Holy” reverberate around My throne.

My angels join you when you worship. My divine power is present and ever working.  Let Me be first and foremost in all you do. Seek first My Kingdom and all else will fall into place.  I am faithful and true. I am trustworthy and know the best path for you. I designed your personality and have a perfect place for you in My kingdom.  You have a singular purpose and design.  I designed your gifts – your strengths and passions. Your weaknesses are part of My design. Your weaknesses are there to lead you to Me for strength, wisdom and hope.

Follow Me. We have much to do! I have more adventures to share!

But Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,

and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 6:33 NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Your times are in My Hands.

This means you can trust Me with your life – all of it. 

Your past, your present, your future.

Your today and tomorrow.

Your health, your job, your family, your finances.

All things work together for good to those who love Me and all called according to My purpose.

Keep seeking. Keep trusting.

Those know your name trust in you, 

for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9:10  NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Your health and well-being are in My Hands. I will take care of you. I see your fear. Fear drives you off My chosen path. It’s the gutter ball in bowling. It leads to nowhere and is in a rut. Think of My Word – Scripture – and My strength as bumper pads in a bowling lane.  You can’t go wrong when you have Me protecting and guiding you, steering you back to My path. Trust Me to be there.  Cast off fear. All is in My hands.  I have good things planned for you!

Do not be anxious about anything,

but in every situation,

by prayer and petition,

with thanksgiving,

present your requests to God.

Philippians 4:6  NIV

I hear the Lord say:

This morning and every morning, surrender your day to Me.  Your day will have up and down moments. Just ride the day like a surfer rides the waves.  Bob up and down on the water, feeling the warm sun, cool ocean water and gentle breeze.  Perform each task with joy and calm.  No rush.  Surfers on their surfboards paddle, wait, surf and do it again. It’s a repeated process. To enjoy surfing, you must expend effort to paddle out, wait for the right wave, and then paddle, jump up and ride in!  Life will have its exhilarating moments but it’s the effort and waiting and working that make the end result so enjoyable.  I delight in offering you life with pleasure, joy and peace. Remember – Life is good.

You make known to me the path of life;

you fill me with joy in your presence,

with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 16:11  NIV
