Words & Whispers

I hear the Lord say:

Looking ahead, into the blue sky, like this little bird, on top of the world, dream of a great future. Keep your eyes looking up, focusing on My ever present love and compassion, be receptive to Spirit-inspired dreams and ideas. New innovations and thoughts will come to you to bring you Kingdom principles for life. Thoughts and ideas for day to day chores, work responsibilities, church and community partnering, time management and relationship building. My Spirit has a divine hand in all areas of your life. The future is full of possibilities. There is more to expect, more to explore and more to embrace. Keep looking up.

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

John 16:13 NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Isn’t it fun to watch the goldfinches feast on sunflower seeds? It’s wonderful to see their yellow and black feathered bodies fly back and forth, landing on stems and gobbling up the bounty. I want you to remember that as you see Me provide for the birds of the air, that I will provide for you even more richly. You will not lack any good thing. My storehouse is overflowing with treasures. You have access to it all as my precious daughter. Come and feast. Dine on plenty. Your cup is full to overflow. Peace, joy, mercy, grace, provision, safety… these are your treasures. My promises are ‘yes’ and ‘amen.’ Take one day at a time, and bask in the glow of your heavenly Father’s love. This love I give you, I give you freely, without limitations. As I cast your sins as far as the east is from the west, My love for you extends into the infinite universe. Think of My love as an ever-expanding balloon that will never pop. My love cannot be contained. Deeper than the ocean, higher than the mountains, brighter than the sun, is My love for you.

As you follow the path of light and life that I offer, you fulfill your purpose and calling. You will be encouraged and satisfied with My promises of wholeness, abundance, love, joy, peace and contentment.

I hear the Lord say:

Freedom! This word may evoke thoughts of a rally cry, a call for justice, or a march for independence. But I offer freedom of a different sort: freedom for your mind, soul and spirit. Freedom from the yoke of slavery to sin and despair. Release from the consequences of sin and death. I give you Life and give it in abundance. I, Jesus, your Savior and Redeemer, have set you free by My obedience on the Cross. I died and rose again, so you could live in freedom, and learn to walk in My ways. It is a high calling to live free: released from the shackles of the past, free from the bondage of doubt and fear, set free from the hopelessness that permeates worldly thinking. Be free in Me; be free to be all I have called you to be. Be assured that I am Your Freedom.

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Like a cheerful flower smiling brightly in the spring, I welcome you with the radiance of the sun. As your loving heavenly Father, I make you a homemade daisy chain for a necklace and tiara. You are so special to Me, my daughter! I love to make you smile; I love to hear you laugh. I delight in the uniqueness of you. You are one of a kind. You make My heart sing! Be filled with My radiant love today. Be overwhelmed with My loving-kindness. Be confident in your value and worth in My eyes.

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. 1 Peter 2:9 NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Early in the morning, before the sunrise, I kiss your face with My gentle dewdrops. I wake you to a new morning. A day filled with promise; a day that will bring you closer to Me as you meditate on My word, reflect on My character, ponder My creativity and omnipresence, and seek to share My goodness. As a tree showers you with droplets as you brush its leaves, so My mercy and goodness shower and cover you day by day. The dewdrops reflect and refresh the flower buds and leaves. My Word is a reflection of My love and compassion, with Holy Spirit-rain watering your soul. Take time to soak each morning in this life-giving Word.

Let my teaching fall like rain

and my words descend like dew,

like showers on new grass,

like abundant rain on tender plants.

Deuteronomy 32:2 NIV

I hear the Lord say:

Like the morning sun peeking through the trees, radiating sunbeams and casting light through the branches, so I am with you always. You may think the view of Me is obscured, but like the sun, I am ever-present. As the sun radiates light, warmth and life, so I radiate Holy light, Spiritual warmth and new life. Jesus, who is called the “Light of Life” is your Son-shine! As a new dawn brings hope and healing, let your heart and mind embrace the joy of this light. See yourself in a new ‘light’, as a beloved child of God. My love for you is constant, timeless and unwavering.

 Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Psalm 36:5 NIV
