No Competition

Do you struggle with feeling like you don’t measure up, especially when you’re around those who are strong in the Lord? Like your relationship with God is somehow inferior?

A word for our hearts from the Lord in this present day and the years to come: The way is narrowing, and less and less of those who think they are Mine will make it through.

Pray we will love as He first loved us. 1 John 4:19. A word from the Lord to encourage us as we pray… It’s not for nothing. All that you do for Me. I see it. But more than that, they see it. Don’t gauge your worth by their response. They are filled with theContinue reading “Love as He First Loved”

Rest in Me

My beloved bride, today I’m calling you to rest in Me.

Listen to My voice. Hear My heart forContinue reading “Rest in Me”

Join us May 1 for the National Day of Prayer. With all that’s going on these days, has the enemy been sidetracking you from God’s purposes?

(GalatiansContinue reading “Do Not Fear. Rise Up and Live Your Purpose”

All Is Not Lost. Stand Up and Fight!

As narratives rage in media these days — some false and some true — and so many with evil intentions vie for control and seem like they’re winning by earthly standards, it’s easy to feel hopeless, like any fight against this present darkness is to no avail.

Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?

This past week, the Lord gave me three dreams over three nights. In the third, people held tickets to Heaven in their hands. Some clutched only their own, but others held onto several tickets meant for other people. They waved them about, excitedly telling the people they were meant for how to get one, whileContinue reading “Whose Ticket Are You Still Holding?”

Battle Gains and Losses

This past week, the Lord gave me three dreams over three nights. In the second, God’s people were re-grouping after a last-days battle. We had lost everything, and yet it was nothing to us.

Take Off the Blinders

This past week, the Lord gave me three dreams over three nights. In the first, people walked about with blinders on that covered not only their eyes but the whole face.

The Overcoming

As I asked the Lord today what He wanted to say to His body, this is what He led me to share*: I’m here with you. I know this life has been hard. I know what your past has held and how many questions you have asked about why it had to happen. And IContinue reading “The Overcoming”

Step Up into My Arms

A powerful word from the Lord today for those of us feeling a bit beat up in the battle: Step up. Not with hopeful goals to better yourself that fade away within a couple of weeks. Not with working all the harder and burning out all the faster, or with beating yourself up because youContinue reading “Step Up into My Arms”

Set Apart … to LOVE

What has your mind dwelt on lately? What subject has moved you into heated conversations? And how are you shining Christ?

Take Up Your Mat and Walk with Me

Our world is barreling fast into places of no return.

Like something’s got to give, or youContinue reading “Hand Outstretched”

In Step with the Spirit

Prayer is not a one-way “talk,” where we ask God to do for us the things we want and then get upset at Him when He doesn’t answer the way we expect. Prayer is a two-way conversation. In fact, the longer you walk with God, the better you know His Word, and the closer youContinue reading “In Step with the Spirit”

Prepare for the Storm to Come

The Lord asked me to share this and also Hebrews 12 with you today from a dream He gave me last year: A new storm is coming, the likes of which you cannot prepare for unless you stay close to Me.

I know everyContinue reading “De-Stress in My Place of Rest”

Step Out of the World and into My Mind

My beloved child, I see your need to belong, to be accepted by those you look up to or want to be around, to be seen as someone important in their lives. You want them to like you, include you, see you as one of them, so you mold your viewpoints around theirs and stepContinue reading “Step Out of the World and into My Mind”

Do Not Fear

I awoke from a dream where a little girl worriedly tugged on her mother’s skirt, saying “Mommy, Mommy! I don’t want to go bye-bye.” Her face still haunts me as I write this. What devastation.

Step up. Not with New Year’s resolutions that fade away within a couple of weeks. Not with working all the harder and burning out all the faster, or with beating yourself up because you failed. No. The “stepping up” I am calling you to is stepping out of yourself and up into Me. I knowContinue reading “Step Up”

This has been a hard year for all of us. We’ve all found ourselves in the midst of trials we can’t see an end to. But we do not lose hope. For our hope is not in everything turning out the way we want. Our hope is in the LORD. “My beloved, I did notContinue reading “I Am For You”

Let Me Overcome.

Walk with Me

Step Back in

The future is changing. But My love never changes. What did I call you to that you never stepped out to do because so many other things in life got in the way? If I open the door for you now, walk on through. If not, your calling is not in vain. For I haveContinue reading “Step Back in”

It’s All About Me

The way is narrowing, and less and less of those who think they are Mine will make it through. Whatever you’re holding onto — grudges, financial security, selfish desires, lust — whatever you’ve been spending your time, thoughts and efforts on that I have not called you to — you must let go now. ItContinue reading “It’s All About Me”

One Way Through This

Wedding Planner

This is the continuation of a word from the Lord for His bride: The bride is not the wedding planner. I am. That wedding is coming sooner than you think. All must be surrendered to Me. To be united with Me means to be divided from the world, rejected by those who do not surrender.Continue reading “Wedding Planner”

Which Side Are You On?

My bride must pick My side in these days to come or she will not make it through. These days will be like no other days ever experienced on Earth.

Throng Before the Throne

In my quiet time one day, the Lord gave me a vision. As I worshipped Him before His throne, He said to me, “Turn around.” I turned to see thousands of people joining me there at His feet in worship. I recognized some of them. The taxi driver who came to the Lord on oneContinue reading “Throng Before the Throne”

My Promise Still Stands

As we passed the one year mark since beginning this Prayer Wall, the Lord has taken me back to those prayers and dreams from 2020.

Mature in Love

“My beloved, I know how you’ve longed for love from that person, those people, who have not returned it in the way you desired.

Every Nation Under Heaven

In Acts 2, during Pentecost (which we celebrated yesterday), the Spirit came upon the apostles like fire, and they began preaching in the tongues of those gathered there “from every nation under heaven” (Acts 2:5), leading thousands to faith in Christ. Those languages and countries are many of the very places in the world thatContinue reading “Every Nation Under Heaven”

Only a Thought Away

I know you’ve been hungry for more of Me, and even for more time with Me. I see the way you yearn to do something more, be something more, but what you’re doing right now already feels like too much.
