Introduction
======== The wonderful thing about TIME is that Weeping may endure for a 'season', but JOY comes in the Morning!
No matter the challenge of life, Newness always comes. And this is a new year and new Joys await us. Discover new HOPE, new Encouragement this month and pass it on to someone who needs that help. God bless each and every one as we enter into 2014!
01JAN - A Happy New Year - Despite how u are feeling today, u can start life all over! U may appear happy enough. U may pass out the seasonal smiles and holiday greetings--but inside, u maybe hurting desperately. U can change all that in an instant. U can make this New Year's Day the most Joyful ever. Romans 10:9 says, "If thou shalt CONFESS/ SPEAK/ SAY with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." It is as easy as saying, "Jesus, I am turning my life over 2 You! From this day forward, I am Yours." Praise God! U can start all over! What a Happy New Year!
Romans 10:13 - For "whoever calls upon the Name of the LORD shall/will be saved."
02JAN - The worldly concerns that have kept u in fear and bondage will now give way 2 the reality and substance of your faith 2 trust Me in all things. For, I will direct your steps and be your rear guard. I Am with u 2 give wisdom and guidance in all things.
Rise up from the burden of despair that has rendered u hopeless and helpless. Be done with the darkness of disappointment. I say, arise 2 new heights of faith and hope. You are not alone; I Am with u 2 bring u through 2 victory.
Set a watch for situations that have the potential for rejection, offense, and division. Yours is to be humble and 2 pursue the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Then, trust Me 2 mend what has been fractured and 2 bring restoration and wholeness. It is time for all flesh that causes division to be cut off.
I am releasing u from boredom and stagnation to be revitalized. Shake yourself awake, and no longer be under the spell of spiritual slumber. Then, u will sense a surge of new excitement and anticipation for what I will do in u and with u in the days ahead.
Position yourself for discovery. Stay steady. Keep your focus. Don't be afraid 2 allow My Spirit 2 take u 2 greater heights and 2 reveal what has been hidden. Your new found sense of adventure will be delightful. You are on the threshold of a new era in which u can begin again, says the Lord.
Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come 2 pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell u of them.
1 Corinthians 2:9 - But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared 4 those who love Him."
02JAN - Look Up! - Look up...bcoz in times like these, your very life may depend on it. A spirit of weariness may be working 2 get u 2 take your eyes off the Word of God. Jesus said when the cares of this world enter into your heart and mind, they will choke the Word and cause it 2 become unfruitful. What can u do 2 stop this chain reaction of weariness? Look up! Consider Jesus--the Author and Finisher of your Faith. Get your eyes off the circumstances around u and onto your heavenly source. Consider Jesus--instead of the cares of this world. The devil is under your feet! We are not in this world without a savior. Jesus is on the throne!
Hebrews 12:3 - For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest u become weary and discouraged in your souls.

03JAN - Be A Blessing - No matter where u are or who u are, God wants 2 see u delivered from every adverse situation. God loves you! He needs u and has a job 4 u to do. U cannot minister 2 others when u are being held captive. U have 2 be blessed 2b a blessing. If u really want 2 tap into the riches of God today, make up your mind 2 be a blessing 2 others. Before u know it, u will be receiving more from God than u ever dreamed. Become His servant. Lay down your TIME, your money, and your Love 4 those who need it. Become a Giver, and God will take pleasure in prospering u.
Psalm 35:27 - Let them shout 4 Joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause, And let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified. Who has the pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."
03JAN -I want u 2 join the revolution. Down with tired and worn out religious exercise. When I came 2 the earth I came with a sword. I came with a sword 2 bring a separation between the flesh and the spirit; between that which is alive and that which is dead. In like manner u must also start a spiritual revolution within yourself. Cut off dry and dead religious exercise that does not profit u. Sow 2 the Spirit and u will catch fire and u will become a flaming torch--a light of brightness that will light the path before u. The path of light will lead u into the glory of My presence. And, in the process of this I will reveal 2 u the hidden mysteries. I will show u more clearly than u have ever seen b4 the destiny that is yours. Indeed, I have already provided 4 u, but as it unfolds u will see My goodness. So, position yourself, and set yourself, so that u may gain all that I have purposed 4 u in this time, says the Lord God Almighty.
03JAN - The battle has been fierce and the demands on your life have been great, even weighing u down at times. But, I want u 2 lift up your eyes. Look 2 the heights and remember that I Am your help in times of trouble. I want u 2 take flight in the Spirit and rise above the things that have kept u earthbound. Put your complete HOPE and TRUST in Me, says the Lord. I will cause your heart 2 sing again.
Psalm 121:1-8 - I will lift up my eyes 2 the hills-From whence comes my help? My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot 2b moved; He who keeps u will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is your keeper; The LORD is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike u by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve u from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
04JAN - Many of u, My people, are feeling disoriented and off balance. The only way for u 2 get right and feel right is 2 spend time in My presence where u can get back in touch with spiritual reality. Refuse 2 allow your soul 2 take precedence over your solid spiritual foundation or 2 allow your temporary worldly conditions 2 supercede eternal truth. Come 2 Me and find peace, says the Lord.
Isaiah 26:3 - You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, bcoz he trusts in You.
04JAN - Let the World Know - Do u want 2 take a step toward evangelizing the world today? Do u want 2 let the whole world know that Jesus truly is LORD? Then start praying 4 oneness. Jesus gave u the KEY 2 winning the world. He asked the Father 2 bring believers into such a place of oneness with each other and with Him that the world would know He had been sent from God. Start confessing that the Church is rising up together in Faith and Love like one glorious Body endued by the power of Jesus Himself!
John 17:20,22-23 - "I do not pray 4 these alone, but also 4 those who will believe in Me through their word; "And the glory which U give Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one; "I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect [mature] IN one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.
05JAN - Do not be afraid! I am at work in your life 2 bring u 2 your appointed destiny. Even when u get off track, u can trust Me 2 bring u back. Set your heart 2 pursue Me, and set your will 2 never on purpose go back 2 the world. You did not choose Me; I chose u 2 establish My kingdom where u are on the earth. Establish My kingdom in your heart, in your relationships, where u live, where u work and where u worship. That is My will and purpose 4 u, says the Lord.
1 Peter 2:9 - But u are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that u may proclaim the praises of Him who called u out of darkness into His marvelous light.
05JAN - You Are Righteous - Begin today knowing u are righteous! Not bcoz of anything u have done, but bcoz u have received, by Faith in Jesus, the very righteousness of God. Shout out loud 2 the devil, "I am the righteousness of God!" Do not let him rob u by telling u u are not worthy of the many benefits of righteousness. The Word of God says: "The SEED of the righteous shall be delivered" [our seed is also our children 2b spared [Proverbs 11:21]. And, "The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of their troubles" [Psalms 34:17]. The Word says: If u have made Jesus the LORD of your life, YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS! [right with God].
Philippians 3:9-10 - Do not lie 2 one another, since u have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in Knowledge according 2 the image of Him who created Him,...
06JAN - Stay in the flow, and hindrances will go. The forces that have hindered your
progress and kept u from fulfilling your intentions will be there only until u deliberately allow My Spirit 2 move u with the anointing of ease. Relax,
and let this flow carry u forth without stress or strain. Be lifted up and
moved by My power, says the Lord.
Psalms 27:6 - And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises 2 the LORD.
06JAN - Created 2 Praise - Are u longing 4 a revival of God's Presence in your life? Then open your MOUTH and do what God has created u 2 do. PRAISE! Every revival in history has been started by people the world considered absolute fanatics. God does things differently than the world. So, when u set aside your inhibitions and start letting His Spirit operate thru u, u are going 2 look strange 2 those who are strangers 2 His ways ... But u are going 2 look wonderful 2 the LORD! Praise ye the LORD!
Psalm 150:6 - Let EVERYTHING that has breathe Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!
07JAN - God Has Something 2 Say - Do not ever be so afraid of making a mistake that u miss out on the Joy of acting on the Voice of the LORD. Do not be afraid 2 follow that inward witness which is the number one way God leads all His children. Take time 2 Listen. Begin trusting the leadership of the Holy Spirit! He will show u how 2 act on His Voice. He will begin speaking 2 u about the little things in your life; and as u grow accustomed 2 hearing and obeying, He will speak 2 u about even more important matters. LISTEN!, that is the KEY God has something He wants 2 say 2 u today!
John 10:3 - "To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear His Voice; and He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out.
09JAN - The enemy has launched an attack 2 blanket your spiritual environment with heaviness. The first sign of this intrusion will be a sense of oppression or even depression without a reason. Be on guard against gloomy feelings and be ready 2 rise up and fight your way through 2 victory over this onslaught. Re-establish yourself in the peace and joy atmosphere of My kingdom, says the Lord.
Matthew 14:30-31 - But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning 2 sink he cried out, saying, "LORD, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said 2 him, "O u of little faith, why did u doubt [My Love 4 you]?"
12JAN - Refuse 2 allow presumption 2 cloud your discernment. You should never act, react, respond, or take your next step based on what u assume is truth. If u are uncertain about an issue or circumstance, take the time 2 investigate and discover the facts. Just bcoz your conclusion seems reasonable does not make it true. And, presumption will plunge u into the darkness of deception, says the Lord. Stay in the light and truth, and maintain confidence in My word as u follow My precepts.
Psalms 19:13 - Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.
12JAN - Our Only Hope is Jesus - Instead of being filled with Unbelief, religious tradition and superstitions, be filled with the Word of God and Faith. When the devil tries 2 hit u with sickness and disease, with poverty, depression or divorce, do not stand by helplessly and let it destroy u and your family. The only HOPE that any person has anywhere in the world is thru Faith in Jesus Christ! In light of what is happening around us today, the Truth of that statement is more painfully obvious than ever b4. Many believers are plagued by the same problems as unbelievers. Just remember, Bible HOPE is EARNEST EXPECTATION. Your HOPE is in Jesus. Trust Him.
Acts 2:26-27 - Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Morever my flesh will also rest in HOPE. Bcoz You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One 2 see corruption. You have made known 2 me the ways of Life; You will make me full of Joy in Your Presence.
13JAN - Be yourself! Be who u are without considering things external. Be free in your heart where u are essentially connected 2 Me; not religiously, but in reality. To do this, u must stay in the present moment of spiritual truth and vitality. This is a place of abiding in faith and peace. Then, when that connection is interrupted, u can examine the cause and reposition yourself 2 maintain that spiritual flow, says the Lord. Refuse 2 allow fear, unbelief, worry or condemnation 2 break your connection. Relationship with Me is not a distant reality, but it is here and now.
John 15:4 - Abide in Me, and I in u. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can u, unless u abide in Me.
13JAN - In Good Times and Bad - Waiting until danger strikes 2 call upon the Lord as your Deliverer, instead of walking closly with Him day-by-day, just does not work. If u want God 2 rescue u in the bad times, u should have Fellowship with Him in the good times! God responds 2 your Faith. Spending TIME with Him develops great Trust and Confidence. Serving God wholeheartedly builds within u Faith that He will deliver u in times of trouble. Walk closely with Him in the good times. Then, when u need AHim 2b Deliverer, u will KNOW without a Doubt u CAN Trust Him 2 care 4 u!
Psalm 91:14-15 - Because he/she has set his love upon Me, therefore I will Deliver him; I will set him on high, bcoz he/she has known My Name.
14JAN - Under Your Feet - Do u want 2b the 'Foot' Jesus uses 2 trample down the workds of the devil? That "spiritual outlaw" continues 2 kill, steal from and destroy all who will let him. Are u tired of being stomped on by the devil? Jesus is the Head of the Church. You and I are the feet. He has given us All Authority and Power 2 stomp on sin and sickness and every other demonic thing in the Earth! Do u want 2 hasten Jesus' return? Then start stomping around in the Spirit. Put the works of satan under your feet and then we can wrap this thing up and go Home 2 glory!
Acts 2:34-35 - "For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: 'The LORD said 2 my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool." '
15JAN - Do NOT Worry - When satan brings a worried 'THOUGHT' 2 your mind, tell him 2 talk 2 God about it. It is all in God's hands, not yours. Your confession today should be, "I do not have a care in this world bcoz I have cast every one of them onto my Lord." Once u do that, u will no longer be trying God's hands with your worrying. Changes will start 2 take place. Those problems u have fretted about 4 years will start being solved. God's Power begins 2 operate bcoz u have acted in Faith and cast your cares on Him! You will never have 2 worry again.
Matthew 6:31 - "Therefore do not worry, SAYING [confessing negative things from your words], 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
16JAN - Come and follow Me. Follow me, I say, for the path of the season has been prepared even before the foundations of the earth were laid. This path has been in existence and resting in eternity and now I lay it before u 2b walked upon in this season. Walk with Me on this path and u will find victory. Walk with Me on this path and u will receive the blessings. Walk with Me on this path and the healing power of the Most High shall come upon you. I will be with u and walk with u. The Kingdom shall be established and your destiny will be revealed, says the Lord God.
16JAN - Listen for the sound of the eagle's cry, for it is time 2 take 2 the sky. I speak 2 those who move in the prophetic gifting as an eagle rises 2 the heights. Set yourself for an increased and profound anointing 2 bring My word 2 the Church. Position yourself by faith 2 come 2 a new spiritual level where u can see with clarity and hear with precision. Then, u will be able prophesy in purity. Come up here, says the Lord.
Revelation 4:1 - After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
17JAN - Beloved, I have made a way for u 2 come higher by way of spiritual progression. In order 2 take advantage of this opportunity, u must let go of everything that has become an anchor and a hindrance. You must release all things that have become a source of agitation, irritation, or conflict in your soul. Hear My voice as I call 2 u. Allow My nature 2b developed in u that will bear the fruit of My Spirit. Let your light shine in the darkness of difficult and disturbing circumstances, for I Am with u, says the Lord.
Galatians 5:22-23 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
18JAN - Be reminded that I have given u authority and power over all the works of darkness. I have called u 2 rise up and defend your kingdom position against every attack of the enemy. Do not hesitate 2 do all that is necessary 2 bring destruction 2 the destroyer. I have opened the way for u 2 move 2 a more productive level of spiritual warfare and victory. Go forth by My Spirit 2 do battle, says the Lord.
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."
19JAN - The wind of the Spirit is blowing 2 sweep away all defilement of flesh and
spirit. This fresh wind will blow through your circumstances and issues 2 clean
up, renew and revitalize every area of your life. Be done with religious
exercise and spiritual stagnation and allow My wind 2 lift u up 2 see from a
new and clear perspective. This is a time when u can experience exponential
growth if u will only yield 2 the moving of My Spirit in this season, says
the Lord.
2 Corinthians 7:1 -Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
20JAN - Press through present chaos into the peace that is greater than your understanding. Quiet your soul and be done with the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. There is nothing uncertain or dubious about My kingdom. I would have u understand that even though the kingdom is a spiritual one and invisible 2 natural perception, the reality of it is unquestionable. Its foundation is firm--solid rock. When u are part of that kingdom u, like the chief cornerstone and the foundation of the apostles and prophets, are also solid rock in the realm of the spirit. Flesh has no power over rock, says the Lord.
Ephesians 2:20 - having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone.

08JAN - Step Across the Faith Line - Dare 2 step across the Faith line! A Faith line is an irreversible decision 2 [DO] the Word of God -- 2 take a stand of Faith. It is a line u draw when u need God 2 do the 'impossible' in your life. Abraham stepped across the faith line! He ignored the 'natural' evidence around him and believed ONLY God's promise. Search the promises of God and purposely BELIEVE what He has said, and is saying, about your NEED. Meditate on those Promises 'UNTIL' Faith rises in your heart. God will do the impossible in your life!
Romans 4:19-20 - ...who, contrary 2 HOPE, in HOPE believed, so that he became the Father of many nations, according 2 what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be."

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.
09JAN - No Time 4 Clay Pots - The glory of God is spilling over the Earth. But it is not trickling out of clay pots. It is being poured thru golden vessels. God is calling YOU 2b a golden vessel.

2 Timothy 2:20 - But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some 4 honor and some 4 dishonor...
10JAN - You are in a time of recovering that which has been taken by the enemy. If u will be alert and be willing 2 follow My leading, I will restore all that is necessary for your spiritual well-being. However, there are still things that are better left alone, and I will give you the proper discernment to know the difference. Come to Me in faith with your request, says the Lord, and I will open what no man can shut, and I will shut what no man can open.
Revelation 3:8 - I know your works. See, I have set b4 u an open door [Portal], and no one can shut it; for u have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.

Instead, walk and floor and praise God 4 your children and His solution 2 their problems! start believing! Get the Word working in their lives. Bind the devil with it. Tell him he cannot have them. Tell him, "It is Written." Pray for the LORD of the harvest 2 send out laborers into the field who can reach them.

Isaiah 54:13 - A Perpetual Covenant of Peace - All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the Peace of your children.
11JAN - In a vision I saw the Spirit River, and I was reminded of its ever-increasing flow. We start out with what seems 2b a trickle in comparison with what it will become. And, if we stay in the flow of His moving, our relationship with God will deepen and widen as we gain spiritual momentum, wisdom, and maturity. And, I hear the Lord calling us into greater depths as He reveals more and more of the mysteries of His kingdom. Ours is only 2 yield 2 the flow of His Spirit, trusting Him 2 establish us in His divine purpose and destiny.
Ezekiel 47:5 - Again he measured 1,000 and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed.
11JAN - Do Not Look at the Storm - When u get a revelation from the Word of God, hang onto it! Do not focus on anything else. The devil will try anything 2 get u 2 take your eyes off the Word. He wants u 2 concentrate on the physical senses and the situations around u, instead of on the Promises of God. Peter began 2 focus on the circumstances instead of on Jesus; and when he did, his faith slipped out of gear and he started 2 sink. Do not let that happen 2 u. Keep your eyes on the Word of God until it is more real inside u than anything else. If u do, u will be able 2 walk on the water during the storms of life instead of sinking into the dark waters of defeat.

Matthew 14:30-31 - But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning 2 sink he cried out, saying, "LORD, save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said 2 him, "O u of little faith, why did u doubt [My Love 4 you]?"
12JAN - Refuse 2 allow presumption 2 cloud your discernment. You should never act, react, respond, or take your next step based on what u assume is truth. If u are uncertain about an issue or circumstance, take the time 2 investigate and discover the facts. Just bcoz your conclusion seems reasonable does not make it true. And, presumption will plunge u into the darkness of deception, says the Lord. Stay in the light and truth, and maintain confidence in My word as u follow My precepts.
Psalms 19:13 - Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.
12JAN - Our Only Hope is Jesus - Instead of being filled with Unbelief, religious tradition and superstitions, be filled with the Word of God and Faith. When the devil tries 2 hit u with sickness and disease, with poverty, depression or divorce, do not stand by helplessly and let it destroy u and your family. The only HOPE that any person has anywhere in the world is thru Faith in Jesus Christ! In light of what is happening around us today, the Truth of that statement is more painfully obvious than ever b4. Many believers are plagued by the same problems as unbelievers. Just remember, Bible HOPE is EARNEST EXPECTATION. Your HOPE is in Jesus. Trust Him.
Acts 2:26-27 - Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Morever my flesh will also rest in HOPE. Bcoz You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your Holy One 2 see corruption. You have made known 2 me the ways of Life; You will make me full of Joy in Your Presence.
13JAN - Be yourself! Be who u are without considering things external. Be free in your heart where u are essentially connected 2 Me; not religiously, but in reality. To do this, u must stay in the present moment of spiritual truth and vitality. This is a place of abiding in faith and peace. Then, when that connection is interrupted, u can examine the cause and reposition yourself 2 maintain that spiritual flow, says the Lord. Refuse 2 allow fear, unbelief, worry or condemnation 2 break your connection. Relationship with Me is not a distant reality, but it is here and now.
John 15:4 - Abide in Me, and I in u. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can u, unless u abide in Me.
13JAN - In Good Times and Bad - Waiting until danger strikes 2 call upon the Lord as your Deliverer, instead of walking closly with Him day-by-day, just does not work. If u want God 2 rescue u in the bad times, u should have Fellowship with Him in the good times! God responds 2 your Faith. Spending TIME with Him develops great Trust and Confidence. Serving God wholeheartedly builds within u Faith that He will deliver u in times of trouble. Walk closely with Him in the good times. Then, when u need AHim 2b Deliverer, u will KNOW without a Doubt u CAN Trust Him 2 care 4 u!
Psalm 91:14-15 - Because he/she has set his love upon Me, therefore I will Deliver him; I will set him on high, bcoz he/she has known My Name.
Acts 2:34-35 - "For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: 'The LORD said 2 my Lord, 'Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool." '
15JAN - Do NOT Worry - When satan brings a worried 'THOUGHT' 2 your mind, tell him 2 talk 2 God about it. It is all in God's hands, not yours. Your confession today should be, "I do not have a care in this world bcoz I have cast every one of them onto my Lord." Once u do that, u will no longer be trying God's hands with your worrying. Changes will start 2 take place. Those problems u have fretted about 4 years will start being solved. God's Power begins 2 operate bcoz u have acted in Faith and cast your cares on Him! You will never have 2 worry again.
Matthew 6:31 - "Therefore do not worry, SAYING [confessing negative things from your words], 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
16JAN - Come and follow Me. Follow me, I say, for the path of the season has been prepared even before the foundations of the earth were laid. This path has been in existence and resting in eternity and now I lay it before u 2b walked upon in this season. Walk with Me on this path and u will find victory. Walk with Me on this path and u will receive the blessings. Walk with Me on this path and the healing power of the Most High shall come upon you. I will be with u and walk with u. The Kingdom shall be established and your destiny will be revealed, says the Lord God.
16JAN - Listen for the sound of the eagle's cry, for it is time 2 take 2 the sky. I speak 2 those who move in the prophetic gifting as an eagle rises 2 the heights. Set yourself for an increased and profound anointing 2 bring My word 2 the Church. Position yourself by faith 2 come 2 a new spiritual level where u can see with clarity and hear with precision. Then, u will be able prophesy in purity. Come up here, says the Lord.
Revelation 4:1 - After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
17JAN - Beloved, I have made a way for u 2 come higher by way of spiritual progression. In order 2 take advantage of this opportunity, u must let go of everything that has become an anchor and a hindrance. You must release all things that have become a source of agitation, irritation, or conflict in your soul. Hear My voice as I call 2 u. Allow My nature 2b developed in u that will bear the fruit of My Spirit. Let your light shine in the darkness of difficult and disturbing circumstances, for I Am with u, says the Lord.
Galatians 5:22-23 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
18JAN - Be reminded that I have given u authority and power over all the works of darkness. I have called u 2 rise up and defend your kingdom position against every attack of the enemy. Do not hesitate 2 do all that is necessary 2 bring destruction 2 the destroyer. I have opened the way for u 2 move 2 a more productive level of spiritual warfare and victory. Go forth by My Spirit 2 do battle, says the Lord.
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."
2 Corinthians 7:1 -Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
20JAN - Press through present chaos into the peace that is greater than your understanding. Quiet your soul and be done with the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. There is nothing uncertain or dubious about My kingdom. I would have u understand that even though the kingdom is a spiritual one and invisible 2 natural perception, the reality of it is unquestionable. Its foundation is firm--solid rock. When u are part of that kingdom u, like the chief cornerstone and the foundation of the apostles and prophets, are also solid rock in the realm of the spirit. Flesh has no power over rock, says the Lord.
Ephesians 2:20 - having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone.
23JAN - Watch for the temptations that suck u back into an old spiritual condition,
particularly that of fear or obsession. You will recognize it when it comes
bcoz u will feel restricted by it. Refuse 2 allow anything 2 cause u 2
retreat emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Maintain your liberty. The price
has been paid for your freedom, says the Lord.
Galatians 5:1 - Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made
us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
24JAN - Enter the realm of the Spirit and ask what u will in faith. Do not hesitate
or come with doubt or double-mindedness. Come expecting an answer, for I will
surely hear and answer your requests according to My purposes, says the Lord.
And, in your asking do not violate the free-will choices of others, for the
ability to choose has been afforded to all and cannot be transgressed. Come 2
Me with purity of heart and exercise your childlike faith.
James 1:2-8 - My brethren, count it all Joy when u fall into various
trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let
patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking
nothing. If any of u lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all
liberally and without reproach, and it will be given 2 him. But let him ask in
faith, with no doubting, for 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.
25JAN - Come 2 Me, says the Lord. I am calling u 2 come higher spiritually where I can reveal things that will help u obtain and maintain victory in every aspect of your life and being. These are days when u will not only be able 2 access but exercise the power given u 2 overcome the flesh, the world, and the devil. You are My chosen and special, called out of all darkness into the light of everlasting life.
1 Peter 2:9-10 - But u are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that u may proclaim the praises of Him who called u out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

26JAN - Your righteousness is a powerful force against darkness. It is in faith and
righteousness that the kingdom of God is established in 2 u, around u, and
through u. Don't underestimate the victory that comes when u maintain right
relationship with Me and those who belong 2 Me. Stay close and continue 2 seek
My face, listen for My voice, and obey My leading, says the Lord. I am
establishing purity and peace in those who truly belong 2 Me.
Matthew 6:33 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added 2 u.
27JAN - There is a current shift in the realm of the spirit, and u are standing in a pivotal position between what has been and that which is 2 come. U will find yourself glancing back at past things for a moment b4 moving on. However, there will be a temptation 2 relive old rejections and places of isolation and loneliness. Refuse 2 allow these memories 2 cause u 2 get stuck in oppression or condemnation. The past has no power unless u remember so clearly that u put yourself in the same situation again. But, beloved, the purpose of looking back is 2 see how far you've come and how much u have overcome. Rejoice in this opportunity 2 take stock b4 taking the next step. U are an over comer, says the Lord.
Romans 12:21- Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
30JAN - As u come 2 Me in this season, says the Lord, then I will bring forth the true manifestation of the nature of the Father that indwells u. I will bring u 2 a place of understanding that your citizenship in heaven has already been established. I will enlighten u with words that will carry u into My purposes and into the glory of the kingdom. I say come. Get up and rise up. Come forth into My kingdom and into the power of My anointing. Let My glory overshadow u. And, let there be a covering over the glory and let it remain upon u until the fullness of it's effect is brought forth. Position yourselves, therefore, 2b Mine and 2b only Mine and 2 come with a heart that is wholly given, says the Lord.
30JAN - Pay attention 2 what is happening in your immediate environment, and look beyond the natural 2 see the spiritual significance. In this way u will begin 2 understand the opportunities u have 2 make decisions that will elevate u in the Spirit. Watch and be amazed at the spiritual perspective that I will bring through natural means. However, your life is not bound 2 the things of the earth, but is heaven-bound, says the Lord.
1 Corinthians 2:12 - Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given 2 us by God.
31JAN - In a vision I saw someone sanding a table until it was smooth, but when the job was done the table was no longer flat or level. The person went ahead and varnished it anyway. I asked the Lord 2 give me the meaning of the vision, and he showed me that the table represents social unity. Sanding it is the effort 2 smooth out a rough situation or a relationship. However, it is not level bcoz dissension and insecurity still exist. The varnish indicates that the issue has not been dealt with honestly or with integrity, and the person is just putting up a front. And, the Lord says, u must forgive from your heart. Trying 2 fake it is hypocrisy and accomplishes nothing. Be genuine and deal with your relationship problems in humility and with sincerity.
Matthew 6:14-15 - For if u forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive u. But if u do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
