The Lord is a Strong Tower

12/10/20

I hold you in my embrace.  Though you are flanked by worries and fears, I hold you in my embrace.  

I am a Tower, tall and strong.  I surround you with towers, walls and fences. You are fortified and protected. Only what I allow comes through. And I only allow what you can handle, but even then I fight the battles.  I hold you in My embrace with one arm and with my other hand, I hold my fiery sword.  With my right hand, I fight the battles and demolish the enemy.  

Stay in My embrace.  Even though the world may crumble, keep staring into my eyes.  Gaze at My countenance. That is where I want you, gazing at Me.  Keep your eyes on Me.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous run into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10

River of Peace

12/2/20

I saw an image of a meandering river through a deep canyon.  The river looked serene and peaceful.  The sky was blue.  It was a beautiful image.  The impression I had was that the river is peaceful, but powerful enough to carve canyons.  There is strength in God’s peace.

Then I heard the Lord say, “I forge paths where there were none.  I go before you.  Stay at my side and follow me. I go before you and fight the battles.  Remember my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Armor of God

11/22/20

Put on the armor of God!  I am your helmet of salvation!  I am your breastplate!  I am your feet shod in salvation!  I am your peace!  Gird your loins with faith.  Fill your mouth with praise.  Lift your hands in thanksgiving.  Watch and see Me come in power!  Watch the Holy Spirit surround you and equip you!  Put on My armor!  It’s your lifeline and your protection.  The battle before you is great, but Greater am I than what you see before you.  Cover your eyes with faith and the truth of My word.  Put on My armor that you may not be dismayed nor your spirit faint.  I am always at work.  At work in your weaknesses to overcome fear.  I am your protector and your warrior. The enemy flees at the snap of My fingers nay at the whisper of My breath.  Sit at My feet and stay in My presence.  My protection is over you.  I am a strong tower. Run to Me!

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.  Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.  In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” Ephesians 6:10-18

Surrender

11/12/20

What I have for you is so much more than what you want.  Open your fist (as your fist was opened, I saw 100’s of white birds fly out from your palm).  What you desire is paltry and ashes compared to what I have for you.  What you want comes from the desires of your heart and what I have to give you comes from My glory.

Do not despair that I may ask you to surrender what you have held so dear and so tight.  Look!  Look!  It is of no worth.  The heart is deceptive.  It blinds your eyes.  Look beyond with a heart full of faith.

I saw a canyon full of treasures.  I saw you standing at the edge of the canyon looking down.  The canyon was full of a multitude of treasures all gleaming in the sunlight.

Daughter of the King

11/10/20

My daughter you are gracious and full of poise.  I am so proud of you. See, do you see my hand at work?  Even now, I am taking care of you and all the fine details.  You are the apple of my eye.  There is nowhere you will go that I am not with you.  Precious daughter, I hold you in the palm of my hand. Close to my heart. Do you hear my heartbeat?  I love you precious one.  You are the daughter of the King.

The Last Will Be Your Best

11/8/20

The last will be your best.  In the latter days, you will look up into the mountains and you will see me.  Do not lose hope.  I am coming riding on a thousand stallions. I am your hope and your rescue.  

Keep my word in the depths of your heart and praise and thanksgiving on your lips.  Do not lose heart, but hold on to my promises. They are yes and amen.  

Keep your ears open for my voice.  My voice will come as a gentle whisper in the wind.  The Holy Spirit will come and empower you with confidence like never before.  

Do not doubt my calling, but step forth into what I have called you to.  It is hidden in your heart.  It has been hidden there for years. It is like a flower.  Watch it flourish.  I will be the One to water it and nurture it.  Watch and see what I will do.

Step Into My Embrace

11/6/20

Oh my daughter of grace, daughter of favor, step into my embrace. Step into my embrace.  I will melt away the fear.  I will fill you with confidence and strength.  Step into my embrace.

I have a million sheep on a hill. Look and see that my goodness overflows.  Think not that I can care for you?  Look away from your circumstances and set your eyes on the reality of who I am and what I have done for you.  Indeed fill your mouth with praise.  Thank me in the midst of your trials.  I am your potter and I am crafting a masterpiece.  Lay still and be filled with my presence.  My presence that overcomes and sets free.  I long to set you free and fill you with joy unimaginable.  You cannot imagine what I have in store for you.

Remember child that my plans for you are good, no great.  Hold on!

The Sower of the Seeds

5/31/20

As I was pleading with the Lord for forgiveness and man’s sins, I saw the hand of the Lord sprinkling seeds over every home in our nation.  Then I saw the seeds growing and flowering.  

I heard the Lord say, “Open your hearts and receive My seeds of My love, seeds of My presences, seeds of forgiveness, seeds of repentance, seeds of My joy, seeds of My gladness.”

Lord, let us be a sweet fragrance to You.
