01June - Arise from your earthly abode and carnal living, and let your heart soar w/Me in the Spirit. Refuse 2 allow your worldly concerns 2 become an anchor. Do u hear the cry of My Spirit 2 come up here where life is an eternal substance? The more time u spend in My presence the more u will experience the life that comes from Me, says the Lord. I have given u life on earth, but it is a passing shadow compared 2 what I have in store 4 u, says the Lord. Come up here!
John 5:39-40 - You search the Scriptures, 4 in them u think u have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But u are not willing 2 come 2 Me that u may have life.
01JUN - The Great Escape - The next time the devil backs u into a corner, get quiet and LISTEN! ASK God 2 show u the way of escape. If u will look 2 God and Trust His Wisdom instead of your own, He will always show u a way out. Stepping out in faith and walking in the Spirit will cause the devil 2 endeavor 2 give u ample opportunity 2 fall flat on your face. He wants 2 get u into some jams where there appears 2b no way out. When that happens, just get quiet and wait 4 the Lord 2 tell u what 2 do. He will bring u out Victorious in such a way that He will get the glory and u will have the last laugh on the devil!
Proverbs 3:5-6 - In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct(2) your paths. *(2) Lit. means make smooth or straight.
02June - U, My surrendered people, have become like a well-oiled machine, doing the work of the Kingdom. U don't perceive the unity of the Spirit bcoz u are only doing your part. But, if u could rise up and view the Body of Christ from a higher perspective, u would know that your part is vital 2 the spiritual function of My will. The enemy would have u discount your contribution 2 that function, says the Lord, but he is a liar. Do not believe the lie that u are unimportant.
Ephesians 4:16 - from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according 2 the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body 4 the edifying of itself in love.
Psalms 33:1 - REJOICE in the Lord, O u righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.
03JUN - Indecision is the same as being double-minded, it will get u nowhere. Now is the time 2 establish yourself on neutral ground so that u are not swayed by your emotions. Otherwise your discernment is disengaged. Set your heart 2 know My will in your situation and stop weighing your options; there is a right way 4 u 2 go. Be decisive and choose what u know is right in your spirit man. I will direct your steps as u begin the forward motion, says the Lord.
James 1:5-8 - If any of u lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives 2 all liberally and w/o reproach, and it will be given 2 him. But let him ask in faith, w/no doubting, 4 he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
03JUN - Free From Fear - Do u realize u can live w/o fear? Despite what u saw on the news today, u can live in peace. Hold up your shield of Faith and quench all the fiery darts of fear. Fear is a spiritual force inside u and it is totally destructive. God's promises are challenged by fear, one of satan's primary weapons. God moves in response 2 your faith. Develop your faith by meditating on God's Word and put satan's lies 2 flight. Fight 'worry' w/the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, the Bible. Fear will depart as u SPEAK words of faith, not doubts; and u will be FREE!2 Timothy 1:7 - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of Power and of Love AND of a sound mind.
04JUN - I say 2 u, examine the nonsense in your thinking. For I say, indeed, many of u are occupied w/nonsense. But, I would have u choose 2 believe and receive that which I am bringing and imparting rather than leaning on your own understanding. Reflect on and examine your thoughts, attitudes and motives. Then, turn your eyes upon the heavenlies and the glory that I am releasing and the revelation of My purposes. My purposes 4 u are not 2 muddle around in the things of the world, but 4 u 2 ascend on high and live in the realm of heavenly experience. For the kingdom itself is now demanding that u live within self-restraint. U must now begin 2 live the Christian life in a new and profound way, in a glorious way; thinking upon heavenly things, and upon those things which I have spoken 2 u rather than being absorbed in the trauma of your own life or in judgmentalism, jealousy or the tribulation that your negative thinking brings u into. So rise and come higher, says the Lord, and let the wind of My Spirit move u, and let the anointing of My Word perfect u, says the Lord.
04JUN - Beloved, I want u 2b a Gatekeeper and a Watchman over your environment. This is a position of spiritual discernment so that u allow only the things that build up and not the things that tear down. I would have u 2b on high alert and aware so that u have holy precision in knowing what comes in and what goes out. I have given u absolute authority 2 accept or reject those things that affect your spiritual atmosphere, says the Lord.
Isaiah 21:6 - For thus has the Lord said 2 me: "Go, set a Watchman, Let him declare what he sees."
04JUN - Strength Made Perfect - When your human strength ends, God has promised that His miraculous power will bring u thru. God's strength will enable u 2 handle any impossible situation or temptation. If u are facing a crisis..if u are sick and medicine has failed u...if your Finances are out of control..if your family is falling apart..if u have done absolutely all u know 2 do and u still have not gotten results, Rejoice!!!! But NOT 4 the trial. 4 God!! Bcoz when human strength ends, the Power of God excels!!
2 Corinthians 12:9 - And He said 2 me, "My Grace is sufficient 4 u, 4 My strength is made perfect in weakness."
05JUN - Be strong and stay steady as u move from one thing 2 the next. I didn't promise that it would be easy, but I did promise that I would be with u and not forsake u. There will be times when u just need 2b quiet; an emotional meltdown will not serve your best interests, says the Lord. Trust Me for wisdom and direction. I will indeed point the way and protect u on the way.
Hebrews 3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast 2 the end.
06JUN - I hear the sound of the trumpet of the Master calling 2 those who are His 2 come up higher. This is the way, says the Lord; come up 2 your God. This is the way--reach out 2 Him who is able 2 empower u w/the authority of His word. This is the way of victory. This is the way of prosperity. This is the way 2 understand the kingdom of God. This is the way 2 truth, 2 effervescent life and 2 the glory of your God. This is the way of faith. Let your faith arise now 4 u 2 become who u are called 2b. I am calling u into faith; into life; into joy; into peace; out of sickness into health; out of poverty into prosperity. For I, the Lord God, call those things that are not as though they were.
06JUN - Rise up 2 the high places in the Spirit, and C what I will show u. Listen 4 My voice and hear, acknowledge and understand what I Am speaking. Repeat only what I give u 2 share. U must not add 2 or take anything from the revelation that u receive, 4 precision and purity are the prerequisites 4 My messengers, says the Lord.
Proverbs 30:6 - Do not add 2 His words, lest He rebuke u, and u be found a liar.
07JUN - If u will allow it, I will remove the pressure that creates stress. I would have u move w/Me in the same way that the eagle effortlessly soars on the thermals, doing what it was created 2 do. I would have u 2 yield 2 the moving of My Spirit w/the joy and ease of doing what u have been created 4. It is only when u give in 2 anxiety and operate under the burden of worry that u lose your joy and peace. I will relieve u if u will completely put your trust in Me, says the Lord. Let Me lift u up.
Psalms 86:4 - Rejoice the soul of Your servant, 4 2 You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
07JUN - Put the Rumor 2 Rest - Have u been listening 2 the rumor spread by satan? A rumor that says u are 2 live in poverty, misfortune, defeat and failure? It is his crafty lie! God has made provision 4 u 2 live miraculous victorious lives. He never intended u 2 experience all of the junk that the world suffers. God wants His children 2 live above it, 2 stand out as Light in a dark world. Put the Word of God 2 work and dare 2 receive the blessings He has promised u. Let the Light of God's power in your life put the devil's rumors 2 rest!
Exodus 10:22-23 - So Moses stretched out his hand toward Heaven; and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt 3 days. They did not C one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for 3 days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
08JUN - Beloved, renew yourself in faith and confidence, 4 disappointment and discouragement will steal victory by undermining your blessed assurance. U know intellectually that u can trust Me, but your emotional reaction 2 circumstances has created a double-minded position that will prevent u from succeeding. Now is the time 2 rise 2 a new level of faith that is not under the domination of your soul but is unlimited in the Spirit. My promises are true and are 4 u if u will only believe, says the Lord.
John 14:14 - "If u ask anything in My name, I will do it.
08JUN - Addicted 2 the Word - Determine 2 become addicted 2 the Word of God today. When u totally give yourself 2 anything, focusing your attention on it, it will eventually consume u. The more of it u get, the more u want. If u want 2 walk in Faith and Power, give yourself totally 2 the Word 4 extended periods of time. The Spirit behind the Word, the precious Holy Spirit, will draw u and lead u closer 2 Jesus than u ever imagined possible. Become a "Word addict." Once u do, u will never be willing 2 live w/o it!
1 Corinthians 16:15 - I urge u, brethren--u know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves 2 the ministry of the saints.
09June - Be empowered at this moment 2 take every thought that brings discouragement and defeat into captivity. I would have u be transported from that darkness in your soul 2 the light of faith and victory. Refuse 2 allow the enemy 2 build this stronghold against u, says the Lord. Rise up in truth and hope, and allow the life of the Spirit 2 fill u 2 overflowing. I have released My strength in u 2 overcome all the works of the evil one. Be strong!
Isaiah 54:17 - No weapon formed against u shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against u in judgment u shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD.
09JUN - Grace Is Enough - Have u been settling 4 sin and sickness in your life? Do u believe the 'thorn' in your life is sent by God? The Scripture is clear about what the thorn in Paul's life was--a messenger of satan. Do not allow satan 2 talk u out of your Victory. Everywhere Paul went, a messenger, an evil spirit, was sent 2 stop him. But God gave Paul a great promise. He has given u that same promise. God said, "My Grace is sufficient 4 u. For MY strength is made 'perfect' in weakness." U can be an overcomer like Paul in spite of your weakness!
2 Corinthians 12:7 - And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh [mind] was given 2 me, a messenger of satan 2 buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. *Also see 04June above
10JUN - Do not get stuck in thinking that u have only one gift or that u have one specific purpose from which u will not deviate. The result of this thinking is that u will put yourself in a religious box. When u are filled w/My Holy Spirit, u have Him complete w/His gifts and fruit, and yours is only 2 yield 2 His moving. Versatility is in order. U must make yourself available 2b used in a variety of ways and 2 become adaptable 2 various situations and circumstances according 2 the moving of My Spirit. Diversity is the key 2 victory, says the Lord.
Acts 2:38 -Then Peter said 2 them, "Repent, and let every one of u be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ 4 the remission of sins; and u shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

10JUN - Develop the Love - Become Love conscious by confessing [SPEAKING] and acting [DOING] on God's Word today. God says Love is keeping His commandments. By giving u His Word, God has given u His Love Manual in black and white. Follow that manual and u will be walking IN Love. Meditate on the Scriptures. C yourself walking in accordance w/them and guided by the commandments of Jesus. If u made Jesus Christ Lord of your life, u have already taken the 1st step of obedience. Develop the Love He has Desposited within u.
2 John 1:6 - This is Love, that we walk according 2 His commandments [Instructions]. This is the commandment, that as u have heard from the beginning, u should walk in it.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - LOVE suffers long and is Kind; Love does not Envy; Love does not Parade itself, is not Puffed up; does not behave Rudely, does not seek it's own, is not Provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in Iniquity, but rejoices in Truth; Bears all things, Believes all things, Hopes all things, Endures all things. LOVE Never Fails.
11June - From Desperation 2 Devotion - As the material blessings of God come your way, remember, God has not trained u in His Word so u can consume it on your own lusts. It takes a lot more dedication 2 serve God when u are prosperous than it takes when u are desperate! Do not let the things of the world cause u 2 miss out on the glorious things of the Spirit. A real test of your Faith comes as God prospers u. "Will u serve God out of Love 4 Him instead of desperation?" Get your priorities in line w/God's Word. Set your affections on things above!
Colossians 3:2 - Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
12June - Play 2 Win - If u are a born-again believer, u have an absolute right 2b a winner, 2 overcome every aspect of this evil world today! God wants u 2 have so much Faith In Him that u expect 2 whip any obstacle the devil brings your way! If u are accustomed 2 losing, change your way of thing 2 a winning mind-set. RENEW your mind Daily! Jesus has overcome the World and He can give u Peace in the midst of tribulation. Meditate on these Truths and start developing a winning Attitude today.
I John 5:5 - Who is he who overcomes the World, but He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?!

13June - Be healed, My people, and rise up. For I Am among u 2 bring forth the present reality of My perfection within. I am among u 2 heal your body, soul and spirit and 2 renew your faith. I have come this day 2 shake u and 2 remove those things that have hindered u. In the process of this shaking I will impart 2 u the glory that is written of; the glory that is demanded by the whole of creation; the glory that I have purposed 2 bring forth upon My people. For it is written and it shall be so that I will bring forth the manifestation of the sons of God, those who come 2 the truth of My reality, of My kingdom, and of My presence upon them. So rise up and declare your freedom. Rise up and declare your victory. Rise up and receive that which I am doing this day among u and upon ea one of u, says the Lord.
13JUN - I have made and will continue 2 make clear the paths of destruction by revealing the works of darkness sent against u. If u will set a watch 4 the snares of the devil and be obedient 2 overcome, your life will be one marked by victory and freedom. For, freedom only comes thru victory over the enemy afforded u by the victory gained thru the cross. Exercise the authority I have given u, says the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be 2 God, who gives us the victory thru our Lord Jesus Christ.
13JUN - Blessings by the Bushel - If u want 2 receive blessings by the bushel load start going 2 the Word w/a bushel basket! EXPECT 2 receive God's blessings as u hand Him your measure of Faith. God WILL bless u 'according' 2 your Faith. Measuring the Word w/Faith is sometimes hard, but God is faithful. How many blessings from God can u expect 2 receive? Remember, He will be using 'your measuring stick', not His own. So put a big measure of Faith in the hand of God. He will fill it 2 overflowing and give it right back 2 u!
Mark 4:24 - And He said 2 them, "Take heed what u hear. With the same 'measure' u use, it will be measured 2 u; and 2 u who hear, more will be given
14JUN - I speak 2 those of u, My people, who have become apathetic in what I have given u 2 do. You have lost enthusiasm and interest, and your focus has shifted from thanksgiving 4 work and provision 2 just doing a job and even 2 resentment. Beloved, it would be good 4 u 2 adjust your attitude so that u can C thru the eyes of the Spirit 2 C what u do not as mundane but as an opportunity 2 exhibit excellence. U will then have a chance 2 demonstrate My kingdom, says the Lord.
Colossians 3:22-24 - Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according 2 the flesh, not w/eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God. And whatever u do, do it heartily, as 2 the Lord and not 2 men, knowing that from the Lord u will receive the reward of the inheritance; 4 u serve the Lord Christ.
14JUN - Know God's Will - If there ever was a day when u must know God's Will 4 your life, it is now. God is changing and rearranging things. lining them up 4 the end-time move of the Spirit. If u are going 2 keep up, u must know God's perfect plan 4 your life--and how 2 carry it out in His power. Pray 4 God 2 show u His Will and 2 have His Wisdom and Understanding 2 carry it out. Do not try 2 carry out God's Will in the flesh [mind]. Let the Lord build your house in power. Otherwise, u will be building in vain.
Psalms 127:1 - UNLESS the Lord builds the House, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
15JUN - If u have eyes 2 C, I will open 2 u by way of revelation the things that have been hidden. These things will be both of the realm of the spirit and the soul. I will also show u the things that u have removed from yourself by way of denial. The result will be a greater level of candor as well as emotional freedom. I call u forth into a standard of honesty and openness that u have not yet attained, says the Lord. Be willing 2 stretch.
John 8:32 - "And u shall know the truth, and the truth shall make u free."
15JUN - Cast Your Cares on Him - Are u ready 2b free of care? Being carefree will put u in a non-compromising position w/the devil. U won't be in fear and unbelief anymore. give all your care 2 God by making this Confession of Faith: "I'm a Believer. I am not a doubter. The Word works in me; and at this moment, I humble myself under the mighty hand of God. I cast all my care over on Him. From this moment forward, I refuse 2 worry. Instead, I will pray. I will use my Faith and Believe, and He will exalt me over the problem and over the devil. For I belong 2 Jesus and He cares 4 me!" [Linda]
I Peter 5:6,7 - Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt u in due time, casting all your care upon Him, 4 He cares 4 u.

16JUN - Rise up 2 the new level and more profound way of victory that is being revealed 2 u at this time. Allow your faith 2 arise 2 receive all that I am releasing, and your spiritual growth will take an exponential leap. Refuse 2 settle 4 religious dogma when u can move w/the flow of My Spirit 2 greater revelation of My kingdom. But, u must also keep My Word as the standard by which u measure truth. Do not be afraid 2 move forward, says the Lord.
2 Timothy 1:12 - For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, 4 I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able 2 keep what I have committed 2 Him until that Day.
16JUN - Hang On - No matter what the devil tries 2 tell u, refuse 2 let go of the Word. The battleground u are facing right now is in your mind and on your lips! Hanging on the Word isn't always easy. Remember this: It is the Word that does the work, not the one holding onto it. It will work 4 u just like it worked 4 Jesus when He walked the Earth. He told satan, It Is Written! Tell him what is written concerning your situation. Hit the devil w/the Word and cast the care of the situation over on God. U will come out a winner every time!
Isaiah 55:11 - So shall My Word be that goes forth from My Mouth: It shall not return 2 Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing 4 which I sent it.
17June - As u have heard, patience is a virtue and is the ability 2 endure and not quit. But u, beloved, have thought of impatience as being antsy and impetuous when it really is the offspring of a spirit of divination, which tries 2 control. If u can C impatience as being beyond your sphere of responsibility and outside of your boundaries, u will be able 2 overcome it easily. Then, it is simply a matter of staying in the flow of the things u have legitimate authority over and minding your own business. And, I Am w/u 2 help u in this process, says the Lord.
2 Timothy 4:2 - Preach the word! Be instant in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, w/all longsuffering and teaching.
17JUN - Open Their Eyes 2 the Light - Don't sit by and let the devil take your friends and loved ones w/o a fight! Pray! They have not decided 2 receive Jesus out of their free will. they have been blinded by satan! Thru prayer u can interfere w/satanic forces and help remove those blinders. U can change circumstances w/your prayers and help create situations that will bring them in contact w/the Lord. Come against the 'god of this world." Believe God 4 their salvation. Stand in the gap. Let God use u 2 open other people's eyes 2 the glorious gospel today!
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 - But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled 2 those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the Light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
I8JUN - Discover What Grace Can Do - Do u want 2 discover what grace is really all about? U know u were saved by grace, but do u understand the real power that can be released in your life today bcoz of it? If the devil's been threatening u, just remember what the early Christians prayed in the book of Acts: "Lord we've been threatened, but we are not going 2 quit preaching. Just turn the power up and give us/me boldness 2 go on.!" That same grace in the early church is available 2 u today. Grace is real. Grace is God's favor in a situation. Grace is powerful! It provides the supernatural power 2 make things happen.
Acts 4:33 - And w/great power the apostles gave witness the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.
19JUN - A Miracle Inside U - U have a miracle-working God inside of u. U do not have anything 2 give people 4 whom u pray, but GOD DOES, bcoz He lives inside of u and has baptized u w/His Holy Spirit 4 that very purpose. There are people all around u who need Him. Quit waiting 2 feel like u have the power 2 do it. Just get out there! Stir up the gifts inside u so that miracles can start happening. Once u do, u will discover the power u are waiting on has been right there inside u all the time!
Zechariah 4:6 - So he answered and said 2 me: "This is the word of the Lord 2 Zerubbabel: "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, Says the Lord-of-Hosts.

20JUN - I hear His voice say come! Come on. Don't hesitate any longer. How long will u falter? For, these are the days of truly entering into the most holy. These are the days of the coming forth of My beloved. So, when u read My word and it says the door has been opened 2 u and the key of David has been given, then understand u have been equipped along the way as u have walked w/Me. This equipping is reaching a fullness that u do not yet understand and possibly do not even C yet. But, out of the fires of your circumstances u have come forth, even as the three Hebrew children came--they came forth from the fires of destruction w/o even the smell of smoke upon them. Even in these days it shall be so 4 u. These things are written 4 your admonition. They are told again and again 2 strengthen u. As u read My word, the word becomes power within u. And, as u dwell in My Spirit, the Spirit imparts power and brings it forth in your life, which will indeed become a river of God that runs fully thru u. This river will bring life and strength 2 u. It will bring the glory of the kingdom into manifestation. I am inviting u 2 dwell in that place of glory w/Me, says the Lord.
20JUN - I have gone b4 u 2 make a way 4 u 2 fulfill your destiny. You are under My protection, and I have made provision 4 u. However, the enemy will do what he can 2 undermine your sense of security and 2 abort My plans and purposes 4 u. Do not believe his lies, and refuse 2 allow fear 2 undermine your faith, says the Lord. I will never leave u nor forsake u.
Ephesians 3:20-21 - Now 2 Him who is able \2 do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according 2 the power that works in us, 2 Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus 2 all Generations, 4ever and ever. Amen.

20JUN - A Healthy Dose of Love - Did u know walking in Love is good 4 your health? Medical science has discovered that hostility produces 'stress' that causes ulcers, tension headaches and a host of other ills. If u have allowed yourself 2b habitually bound by hostility, u can be FREE bcoz, as a born-again believer, u have the Love of God within u. Just think how much stress u can avoid by being quick 2 forgive, by living according to 1 Corinthians 13. There are emotional and physical benefits 2 living in Love. Decide today 2 live the life of Love!
1 Corinthians 13:4-6 - Love suffers long and is kind; Love does not envy; Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the Truth; .. like a sweet innocent babe.
21JUN - Many of u, My people, are approaching a turning point in which there will be a decided departure from what has been your accepted normal. When u are faced w/change, I will give u the grace and guidance 2 move forward in strength and the power of My Spirit if u will trust Me. At this time u must be willing 2 let go of what was, in order 2 grasp what is 2b, says the Lord. Press on 2 obtain the prize of the upward call in Christ Jesus.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward u, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, 2 give u a future and a hope.
22JUN - Take time 2 look and discern your spiritual atmosphere. Then, u must war against the darkness by active resistance and bring light 2 your environment by establishing truth. In this way u will facilitate victory over all the works of the enemy. Quiet your flesh and exercise your faith 2 accomplish this task, knowing that I have given u authority over all the powers of darkness. Do not be afraid, says the Lord. I have called u 2 overcome.
Luke 10:19 - Behold, I give u the authority 2 trample on serpents and scorpions, AND over all the power of the enemy, AND nothing shall by any means hurt u.
22JUN - Expect a Harvest - Do not be afraid 2 expect a harvest from your giving. There is a harvest needed 2 send the gospel 2 people starving 4 it. The Lord wants 2 bless the World thru u. God wants u 2 have plenty--not so u will hoard it selfishly--but so u can give generouslly. Release your faith 4 the financial rewards Jesus promised. Then, when they come, turn right around and plant them again. Keep the flow of giving and receiving going so that the Lord can bless the World thru u.
Luke 6:38 - "Give, and it will be given 2 u; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. for w/the SAME MEASURE that u use, it will be measured back 2 u."
23JUN - I had a vision of a work of the enemy that comes like a whirlwind or tornado. There are darts and arrows in the force of the whirlwind that are designed 2 pierce those who are caught in its storm. The purpose of this attack is 2 bring fear, confusion, and a sense of helplessness. U can recognize this work by the chaos that tries 2 engulf your mind and emotions. Refuse 2 succumb 2 this force of darkness, and stand firm in your faith that I am w/u 2 bring u thru 2 complete victory. Stand still and C the deliverance that I will bring forth, says the Lord.
Exodus 14:13 - And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and C the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish 4 u today."
23JUN - See Yourself Strong - Begin 2 C yourself as God sees u, as a conquering son or daughter of the Almighty God equipped w/the very power of God Himself! When u do that , the devil will steer clear of u! The Israelites were terrified 2 fight the giants in Canaan bcoz they saw themselves small. It was what they were in their own sight that defeated them. If u C yourself as a weak, powerless Christian, the devil will run over u. But if u C yourself strong and mighty in the Lord, u will run over the devil. So turn the tables on the devil. Let him find out what it feels like 2b a grasshopper 4 a change!
Numbers 13:33 - "There we saw the giants [the descendants of Anak came from the giants]; and we were like grasshoppers in our 'own sight', and so..we were in their sight."
24JUN - From the first day that u set your heart 2 know Me, I have been w/u. I have already told u that I will never leave u nor forsake u; that is the truth. I say this by way of reminder that u are not alone and that I will direct and protect u as u continue 2 seek My face and trust in Me. Do not be afraid 4 I am w/u, says the Lord, and I will give u wisdom in times of uncertainty. Go forth in the power of My Spirit!
Psalm 23:1-6 - The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me 2 lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness 4 His name's sake. Yea, though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; 4 You are w/me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table be4 me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head w/oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.

I will indeed point the way and protect u on the way.

This is the way--reach out 2 Him who is able 2 empower u w/the authority of His word. This is the way of victory. This is the way of prosperity. This is the way 2 understand the kingdom of God. This is the way 2 truth, 2 effervescent life and 2 the glory of your God. This is the way of faith. Let your faith arise now 4 u 2 become who u are called 2b. I am calling u into faith; into life; into joy; into peace; out of sickness into health; out of poverty into prosperity. For I, the Lord God, call those things that are not as though they were.
06JUN - Rise up 2 the high places in the Spirit, and C what I will show u. Listen 4 My voice and hear, acknowledge and understand what I Am speaking. Repeat only what I give u 2 share. U must not add 2 or take anything from the revelation that u receive, 4 precision and purity are the prerequisites 4 My messengers, says the Lord.
Proverbs 30:6 - Do not add 2 His words, lest He rebuke u, and u be found a liar.

He is High Priest over Deliverance and Righteousness and Freedom. Jesus has been ordained 2 bring forth Victory in your life TODAY!
Hebrews 3:1 - Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the Heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus..
07JUN - If u will allow it, I will remove the pressure that creates stress. I would have u move w/Me in the same way that the eagle effortlessly soars on the thermals, doing what it was created 2 do. I would have u 2 yield 2 the moving of My Spirit w/the joy and ease of doing what u have been created 4. It is only when u give in 2 anxiety and operate under the burden of worry that u lose your joy and peace. I will relieve u if u will completely put your trust in Me, says the Lord. Let Me lift u up.
Psalms 86:4 - Rejoice the soul of Your servant, 4 2 You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
07JUN - Put the Rumor 2 Rest - Have u been listening 2 the rumor spread by satan? A rumor that says u are 2 live in poverty, misfortune, defeat and failure? It is his crafty lie! God has made provision 4 u 2 live miraculous victorious lives. He never intended u 2 experience all of the junk that the world suffers. God wants His children 2 live above it, 2 stand out as Light in a dark world. Put the Word of God 2 work and dare 2 receive the blessings He has promised u. Let the Light of God's power in your life put the devil's rumors 2 rest!
Exodus 10:22-23 - So Moses stretched out his hand toward Heaven; and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt 3 days. They did not C one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for 3 days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
08JUN - Beloved, renew yourself in faith and confidence, 4 disappointment and discouragement will steal victory by undermining your blessed assurance. U know intellectually that u can trust Me, but your emotional reaction 2 circumstances has created a double-minded position that will prevent u from succeeding. Now is the time 2 rise 2 a new level of faith that is not under the domination of your soul but is unlimited in the Spirit. My promises are true and are 4 u if u will only believe, says the Lord.
John 14:14 - "If u ask anything in My name, I will do it.
08JUN - Addicted 2 the Word - Determine 2 become addicted 2 the Word of God today. When u totally give yourself 2 anything, focusing your attention on it, it will eventually consume u. The more of it u get, the more u want. If u want 2 walk in Faith and Power, give yourself totally 2 the Word 4 extended periods of time. The Spirit behind the Word, the precious Holy Spirit, will draw u and lead u closer 2 Jesus than u ever imagined possible. Become a "Word addict." Once u do, u will never be willing 2 live w/o it!

09JUN - Grace Is Enough - Have u been settling 4 sin and sickness in your life? Do u believe the 'thorn' in your life is sent by God? The Scripture is clear about what the thorn in Paul's life was--a messenger of satan. Do not allow satan 2 talk u out of your Victory. Everywhere Paul went, a messenger, an evil spirit, was sent 2 stop him. But God gave Paul a great promise. He has given u that same promise. God said, "My Grace is sufficient 4 u. For MY strength is made 'perfect' in weakness." U can be an overcomer like Paul in spite of your weakness!
2 Corinthians 12:7 - And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh [mind] was given 2 me, a messenger of satan 2 buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. *Also see 04June above

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - LOVE suffers long and is Kind; Love does not Envy; Love does not Parade itself, is not Puffed up; does not behave Rudely, does not seek it's own, is not Provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in Iniquity, but rejoices in Truth; Bears all things, Believes all things, Hopes all things, Endures all things. LOVE Never Fails.
11June - From Desperation 2 Devotion - As the material blessings of God come your way, remember, God has not trained u in His Word so u can consume it on your own lusts. It takes a lot more dedication 2 serve God when u are prosperous than it takes when u are desperate! Do not let the things of the world cause u 2 miss out on the glorious things of the Spirit. A real test of your Faith comes as God prospers u. "Will u serve God out of Love 4 Him instead of desperation?" Get your priorities in line w/God's Word. Set your affections on things above!
Colossians 3:2 - Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
12June - Play 2 Win - If u are a born-again believer, u have an absolute right 2b a winner, 2 overcome every aspect of this evil world today!

RENEW your mind Daily! Jesus has overcome the World and He can give u Peace in the midst of tribulation. Meditate on these Truths and start developing a winning Attitude today.
I John 5:5 - Who is he who overcomes the World, but He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?!

13JUN - I have made and will continue 2 make clear the paths of destruction by revealing the works of darkness sent against u. If u will set a watch 4 the snares of the devil and be obedient 2 overcome, your life will be one marked by victory and freedom. For, freedom only comes thru victory over the enemy afforded u by the victory gained thru the cross. Exercise the authority I have given u, says the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be 2 God, who gives us the victory thru our Lord Jesus Christ.
13JUN - Blessings by the Bushel - If u want 2 receive blessings by the bushel load start going 2 the Word w/a bushel basket! EXPECT 2 receive God's blessings as u hand Him your measure of Faith. God WILL bless u 'according' 2 your Faith. Measuring the Word w/Faith is sometimes hard, but God is faithful. How many blessings from God can u expect 2 receive? Remember, He will be using 'your measuring stick', not His own. So put a big measure of Faith in the hand of God. He will fill it 2 overflowing and give it right back 2 u!
Mark 4:24 - And He said 2 them, "Take heed what u hear. With the same 'measure' u use, it will be measured 2 u; and 2 u who hear, more will be given
14JUN - I speak 2 those of u, My people, who have become apathetic in what I have given u 2 do. You have lost enthusiasm and interest, and your focus has shifted from thanksgiving 4 work and provision 2 just doing a job and even 2 resentment. Beloved, it would be good 4 u 2 adjust your attitude so that u can C thru the eyes of the Spirit 2 C what u do not as mundane but as an opportunity 2 exhibit excellence. U will then have a chance 2 demonstrate My kingdom, says the Lord.
Colossians 3:22-24 - Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according 2 the flesh, not w/eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.

14JUN - Know God's Will - If there ever was a day when u must know God's Will 4 your life, it is now. God is changing and rearranging things. lining them up 4 the end-time move of the Spirit. If u are going 2 keep up, u must know God's perfect plan 4 your life--and how 2 carry it out in His power. Pray 4 God 2 show u His Will and 2 have His Wisdom and Understanding 2 carry it out. Do not try 2 carry out God's Will in the flesh [mind]. Let the Lord build your house in power. Otherwise, u will be building in vain.
Psalms 127:1 - UNLESS the Lord builds the House, they labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.
15JUN - If u have eyes 2 C, I will open 2 u by way of revelation the things that have been hidden. These things will be both of the realm of the spirit and the soul. I will also show u the things that u have removed from yourself by way of denial. The result will be a greater level of candor as well as emotional freedom. I call u forth into a standard of honesty and openness that u have not yet attained, says the Lord. Be willing 2 stretch.
John 8:32 - "And u shall know the truth, and the truth shall make u free."
15JUN - Cast Your Cares on Him - Are u ready 2b free of care? Being carefree will put u in a non-compromising position w/the devil. U won't be in fear and unbelief anymore. give all your care 2 God by making this Confession of Faith: "I'm a Believer. I am not a doubter. The Word works in me; and at this moment, I humble myself under the mighty hand of God. I cast all my care over on Him. From this moment forward, I refuse 2 worry. Instead, I will pray.

2 Timothy 1:12 - For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, 4 I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able 2 keep what I have committed 2 Him until that Day.
16JUN - Hang On - No matter what the devil tries 2 tell u, refuse 2 let go of the Word. The battleground u are facing right now is in your mind and on your lips! Hanging on the Word isn't always easy. Remember this: It is the Word that does the work, not the one holding onto it. It will work 4 u just like it worked 4 Jesus when He walked the Earth. He told satan, It Is Written! Tell him what is written concerning your situation. Hit the devil w/the Word and cast the care of the situation over on God. U will come out a winner every time!
Isaiah 55:11 - So shall My Word be that goes forth from My Mouth: It shall not return 2 Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing 4 which I sent it.
17June - As u have heard, patience is a virtue and is the ability 2 endure and not quit. But u, beloved, have thought of impatience as being antsy and impetuous when it really is the offspring of a spirit of divination, which tries 2 control. If u can C impatience as being beyond your sphere of responsibility and outside of your boundaries, u will be able 2 overcome it easily. Then, it is simply a matter of staying in the flow of the things u have legitimate authority over and minding your own business. And, I Am w/u 2 help u in this process, says the Lord.
17JUN - Open Their Eyes 2 the Light - Don't sit by and let the devil take your friends and loved ones w/o a fight! Pray! They have not decided 2 receive Jesus out of their free will. they have been blinded by satan! Thru prayer u can interfere w/satanic forces and help remove those blinders. U can change circumstances w/your prayers and help create situations that will bring them in contact w/the Lord. Come against the 'god of this world." Believe God 4 their salvation. Stand in the gap. Let God use u 2 open other people's eyes 2 the glorious gospel today!
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 - But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled 2 those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the Light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
I8JUN - Discover What Grace Can Do - Do u want 2 discover what grace is really all about? U know u were saved by grace, but do u understand the real power that can be released in your life today bcoz of it? If the devil's been threatening u, just remember what the early Christians prayed in the book of Acts: "Lord we've been threatened, but we are not going 2 quit preaching. Just turn the power up and give us/me boldness 2 go on.!" That same grace in the early church is available 2 u today. Grace is real. Grace is God's favor in a situation. Grace is powerful! It provides the supernatural power 2 make things happen.
Acts 4:33 - And w/great power the apostles gave witness the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

21JUN - Many of u, My people, are approaching a turning point in which there will be a decided departure from what has been your accepted normal. When u are faced w/change, I will give u the grace and guidance 2 move forward in strength and the power of My Spirit if u will trust Me. At this time u must be willing 2 let go of what was, in order 2 grasp what is 2b, says the Lord. Press on 2 obtain the prize of the upward call in Christ Jesus.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward u, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, 2 give u a future and a hope.
21JUN - Put the Word First - If u will invest ur TIME in the Word first, that investment will soon be paying off in every area of your life. That is the real secret 2 getting ahead in this world! U cannot wait until u have the TIME 2 put the Word first. satan will C 2 it that u never do. The Word of God needs 2 occupy the place of highest importance in all of your activities.

22JUN - Expect a Harvest - Do not be afraid 2 expect a harvest from your giving. There is a harvest needed 2 send the gospel 2 people starving 4 it. The Lord wants 2 bless the World thru u. God wants u 2 have plenty--not so u will hoard it selfishly--but so u can give generouslly. Release your faith 4 the financial rewards Jesus promised. Then, when they come, turn right around and plant them again. Keep the flow of giving and receiving going so that the Lord can bless the World thru u.
Luke 6:38 - "Give, and it will be given 2 u; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. for w/the SAME MEASURE that u use, it will be measured back 2 u."
23JUN - I had a vision of a work of the enemy that comes like a whirlwind or tornado. There are darts and arrows in the force of the whirlwind that are designed 2 pierce those who are caught in its storm. The purpose of this attack is 2 bring fear, confusion, and a sense of helplessness. U can recognize this work by the chaos that tries 2 engulf your mind and emotions. Refuse 2 succumb 2 this force of darkness, and stand firm in your faith that I am w/u 2 bring u thru 2 complete victory. Stand still and C the deliverance that I will bring forth, says the Lord.
Exodus 14:13 - And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and C the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish 4 u today."
23JUN - See Yourself Strong - Begin 2 C yourself as God sees u, as a conquering son or daughter of the Almighty God equipped w/the very power of God Himself! When u do that , the devil will steer clear of u! The Israelites were terrified 2 fight the giants in Canaan bcoz they saw themselves small. It was what they were in their own sight that defeated them. If u C yourself as a weak, powerless Christian, the devil will run over u.

24JUN - From the first day that u set your heart 2 know Me, I have been w/u. I have already told u that I will never leave u nor forsake u; that is the truth.

Yea, though I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; 4 You are w/me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table be4 me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head w/oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
