Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Listen, listen, listen. Listen to the sound of My spirit hovering over you. My spirit breathes fresh life into your spirit. It brings renewal each morning, equipping you for the day. As air fills your lungs, I offer spiritual oxygen to charge your mind and body with holy energy. Sing My praises. Reflect on My Goodness. Share My love with others. Build on each day, growing stronger in faith, love and compassion.

Remember I call you to be more than a conqueror!

No, in all these things

we are more than conquerors

through Him who loved us.

Romans 8:87  NIV

I hear the Lord say:

I love you with an everlasting love.  There is nothing you can do to separate or fray our love bond. We are a tightly knit cord which is divinely strengthened and woven. It is a cord forged in my blood and sacrifice. It is a cord created before you were born and meant to keep you close to my heart. It is a finely braided cord with gold strands running through it. This beautiful cord is your lifeline to me.  It keeps us connected; it keeps us close; it keeps us united.  Think of the cord as a friendship bracelet. It wraps around your wrist to remind you of my unfailing love.  The cord is also a strong rope to pull you out of a trap or pit. No miry clay can withstand my helping grasp. The cord is strengthened by my Holy Spirit and will help you in your weakness.  You only have to rely on my strength in all circumstances. Then you will see victory and truly be an overcomer!

In my distress, I called to the Lord;

I cried to my God for help.

From his temple He heard my voice;

my cry came before Him, into His ears.

Psalm 18:6  NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Peace I leave you, Peace I give you, not as the world gives but Peace from on high. Peace that covers you like a blanket; Peace that brings confidence in my care; Peace that transcends the cares of the world. Look not on circumstances, trials and daily chores as events to suffer through but as opportunities to drink from my well of Living Water, receiving peace and joy, refreshing your spirit and keeping your heart glad. An attitude of praise will help you complete each task, overcome each trial and be victorious each day.

“Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said,

rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

I composed this Psalm to the Lord:

The Lord is good to me.

He protects me under the shadow of His wing.

He surrounds me within the cleft of the rock.

He is my fortress, my stronghold. He is my strength.

He equips me to do His good works.

He is mighty to save. I honor his Holy Name.

Keep his command close to your heart.

Meditate on his holy Word day and night.

His commandments are pure and righteous.

Holy is His Name.

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood,

a holy nation, God’s special possession,

that you may declare the praises of him who called you

out of darkness into his wonderful light.

I Peter 2:9   NIV

I hear the Lord say:

You are correct to turn to Me for wisdom and understanding. I am the Source of Truth and Wisdom. Read my Holy Word. Scripture is given to impart my words of exhortation, and to give you a model to follow. As David was a man after my own heart, I desire my children to seek Me in the same pattern. Meditate on Me and My Word day and night. Sing psalms of praise and adoration. Consider my Majesty and put your trust in Me. Honor Me with your lips. Let your actions reflect my Goodness. Put your whole heart into seeking the treasure of “more of Me.” “More of Me” awaits you. Every morning and every evening, turn your eyes toward Me. As your Loving Father, trusted brother and holy companion, I will spark new thoughts and insights; I will open new doors of opportunity; I will guide your steps as you trust Me along the way. Each day brings you closer to Me. Keep your eyes and ears open to My prompting.  I won’t shout. Remember… I whisper, so you have to be an alert listener. Recall the verse “The sheep hear my voice.” Above the din and distractions of this world, keep listening for my voice.  I call to you gently and guide you in the way everlasting. Deep calls to deep. Your deep longing cries out to my deep calling. We are bonded in love and can never be separated. I offer you a threefold cord, a bond that can never be broken. Stand fast, be confident, I am with you.

 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I hear the Lord say:

The troubles of this world are temporary. You have an eternal home waiting for you. For now, on earth, you will have trials. But none of your trials have to be faced alone. I am here, my beloved. Come to Me and let Me gather you in My arms. Pour out your troubles to Me. I will comfort you in your distress. Let Me ease you of the burden. Let Me restore your joy. Let the troubles of the past, even those of only yesterday, be put aside. That day is done. Today is a new day.  A new day brings hope. A new day brings opportunities for blessings. As you wake each morning, recall “a new day, a new dawn” with Me at your side. My holy Spirit brings you the vitality you seek. His joy becomes your joy. Joy in the morning sets the tone for your day so seek joy. Pursue it with all your heart. It will be your gift from Me to you every morning. The joy we share will serve to overshadow the trials of the world. Treasure this gift of joy.

 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you

and that your joy may be complete.

John 15:11   NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Keep on seeking. Keep on searching. There are more treasures to unearth! I desire closer intimacy with you. I want us to be in constant communion. My holy Spirit abides in you so you only have to be aware of his presence.  Throughout your day, check in with Me. Assess your spiritual state. Are you calm? Are you at peace? Are you letting me carry your burdens? Are you bringing your concerns before me?  I have your best interest at heart.  Trust me to bring you to day’s end with peace and satisfaction of a day devoted to Me.  Following My will opens you to blessings and peace when day is done.

Sing to the Lord, bless His name,

Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

Psalms 96:2  NKJV
