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. For the evil is deepening, the darkness growing thicker, as it connects together all across the globe. My light must be stronger. My bride mustContinue reading “Which Side Are You On?”

Rise up and LOVE
What earthly causes have made you anxious or angry these days? The Lord is calling us now to rise up out of our fear and hatred. And LOVE. The issues we are fighting about are of this earth. They are temporary. Fix your eyes on what is eternal. Hebrews 12:1-3. When you get to Heaven,Continue reading “Rise up and LOVE”
Do Not Fear. Come Up Here.
Today, I feel the Lord bringing us back to this word from Him originally posted May 18, 2021: My child, I know it’s been hard. I’ve seen what you’re going through. In fact, I knew it would happen before it ever did, and I have a plan for bringing the good out of what theContinue reading “Do Not Fear. Come Up Here.”
Headache or Heaven
When this messy world is so up in your face, it’s hard to focus on eternal things, isn’t it? For instance, a headache can take precedence over being loving and kind. But a headache is temporal. It’s very real pain I have to go through right now, but it’s not going to follow me toContinue reading “Headache or Heaven”
Toppling Idols
One morning, the Lord awakened me to the song Endless Alleluia, and a vision of idols toppling to the ground on their faces. He spoke to me about how so often we try to “fix” our “problem” somehow on our own, as if our willpower is strong enough. It’s not, of course. You and IContinue reading “Toppling Idols”
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”
Praying for Awakening from Isaiah 51:7
From Isaiah 51:7a, let’s pray for That we will Lord, we ask for a mighty movement of Your Spirit, such that everyone You pursue must come face to face with who You are. Show them Your love, Lord, that You’re a Safe Place to rest. That if they surrender to Love, they will at lastContinue reading “Praying for Awakening from Isaiah 51:7”
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. These themes have emerged since: This was His answer today, when I lifted those themes back up to Him: Those who will truly pray for the things of My heartContinue reading “My Promise Still Stands”
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? Like the floor slants higher and closer to the throne for them, and meanwhile, you’re struggling just to have a quiet time? I feel the LordContinue reading “No Competition”
The Great Invitation
As we came up on our one-year anniversary of the Prayer Wall, I went through a strange night, awakening over and over to the thick presence of the Lord in the room and an inaudible voice breaking through my sleep to urge, “Go higher…. Press deeper…. Push further…. Higher up….” Awakening. The Great Invitation. NotContinue reading “The Great Invitation”
Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord
Let’s continue to pray for those facing power outages in Louisiana and other areas, those still facing fires (even new ones now) in the west, and others in our country who are anxious and grieving losses. Lord, You are the Light of the World. In our time of darkness right now, please shine that Light,Continue reading “Be the Light in Our Darkness, Lord”
Praying for Our Families
Let’s pray for our families today. Lord, we ask You, by Your divine care, to please watch over our families and children. Guard our hearts from every evil attack. Give us wisdom in every situation to know what to say and to do to care for our spouse’s heart and our children’s. Bind us togetherContinue reading “Praying for Our Families”
The Arsenal
The days are coming, and soon are here, when the world as you know it will change in violent ways. People, even many of My own people, will fall to Satan’s schemes and involve themselves in many hideous crimes. But as the darkness gets darker, My light shines brighter. Those who are committed to MeContinue reading “The Arsenal”
Living for the MORE
“There is more to this life than the money, the house, the status, the strongholds you cling to so desperately that leave you empty. There’s a reason for your loneliness, anxious thoughts, emptiness. Because nothing of this world will ever be enough. You need the MORE you were created for. I am the More. IContinue reading “Living for the MORE”
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. They have falsely accused you, talked behind your back, ignored you, walked over your pain, shoved you aside so they could do what they want, manipulated, twisted your words, pushed youContinue reading “Mature in Love”
Give Us Freedom
Lord, please set us free from our strongholds. With Your truth, topple the lies we’ve been clinging to that have excused our sin far too long. Draw us up onto Your shoulders to see that sin from Your perspective. Make us hate it so much, hate what it does to our relationship with You andContinue reading “Give Us Freedom”
Pray for Influencers
Lord, we ask You to pursue every person of influence in this nation. Give them a heart that hungers for You. Show them how the ideologies, the people, the power, the money, the temporary pleasures, the things they run after have no meaning and cannot satisfy. But how, when they love, when they give whatContinue reading “Pray for Influencers”
True Freedom
What is holding you back from more of the Lord? Anxiety? Panic? Anger? Unforgiveness? Depression? Lust? He is ready to set you free.* As we pray for our nation this month, let’s pray for our own hearts, as well…. Pray for the leaders of our nation, other nations, and our churches, for the leaders ofContinue reading “True Freedom”
On Fear of Man
Isaiah 51:12b-13a How many times have you made decisions based on fear? And how many times have you seen those in leadership — even now — making decisions not based on truth or wisdom, but on fear of man? Pray for those who need freedom from anxiety and fear, that the Lord will expose everyContinue reading “On Fear of Man”
Off My High Horse and on My Face
A real-live battle between good and evil rages, and we are in the midst of it. Ephesians 6:10-12. We have a real enemy, and it’s not our brother or sister. The minute we begin attacking God’s people, we have switched sides. Revelation 12:10-12. Feeling justified in our attacks against others is a normal enemy tactic.Continue reading “Off My High Horse and on My Face”
Don’t Switch Sides
I know you’re hurting, and things feel out of control. I see your anger and your need to put things right. But in your anger, do not sin. Ephesians 4:26. Remember, your battle is not to be heard or for people to agree with you. It’s not for others to do what you want orContinue reading “Don’t Switch Sides”
Pray for China
With recent floods in China this week, Henan Province is reeling with devastation. Let’s pray for those who have lost loved ones. China has jumped six places from last year’s World Watch List. Persecution has increased so dramatically, in fact, that in just three years, it has risen 26 places on Open Doors’ list ofContinue reading “Pray for China”
No Compromise – 2 Kings 17:7-23
Nearly every day in the news we hear of one more way a church or Christian leader has compromised, embracing worldly viewpoints and sin, bowing to those idols. This is nothing new. For all throughout the Bible we see God’s people bowing left and right (not a pun on present political idolatry) to anything butContinue reading “No Compromise – 2 Kings 17:7-23”
Closer than Your Breath
When I asked the Lord what to share with you today, this is what I felt Him say: Turn around. Step into Me.I am with you. Always have been. Always will be. I never left you. It is you who have wandered from My touch. What are you looking at with those hungry eyes, if it’sContinue reading “Closer than Your Breath”
Song for the Bride
The closer I grow to Christ, the more He amazes me with His intimate, relentless, breathtakingly beautiful pursuit of His bride. During my quiet time one day, He sang this over her. Sharing this with you, because … you are … His bride…. “O, My bride,Long have I longed for you.Long have I called toContinue reading “Song for the Bride”
Quiet Times with God
What distracts you from having a quiet time every day? Or from breaking away for a personal retreat alone with God every now and then? Remember, the enemy’s main aim is to keep you from praying, to draw you away from God, to stop you from bringing Him glory. That means the best way toContinue reading “Quiet Times with God”
Safety in Surrender
What have you been holding back from the only One Who can make all things work together for good? Romans 8:28. Lord, often You have shown us Your paths for us, given all the provision we will need for the journey, opened the door wide for us and even held out Your hand in love,Continue reading “Safety in Surrender”
Pray for the Innocent
Lord, we ask You for protection over the children of this nation and around the world. Especially during this time of quarantine (some regions and countries have stricter restrictions than others), when families are locked inside, and tempers are high. Give each child a safe place to go. Be a Shield around them. As aContinue reading “Pray for the Innocent”
Follow Truth to Freedom
The last post about “wee” evils was a bit long, so I didn’t get to tell you the whole story, but… While I was in the middle of cleansing the oats of evil weevils, a moth began beating itself agains the glass window next to me, trying to get out. I opened the window, butContinue reading “Follow Truth to Freedom”
Help Us See, Set Us Free
Most strongholds feel so “normal” we don’t realize they’re there. Even when friends confront us on ways we’re hurting others, we deny we have a problem or blame someone else. That’s because the enemy likes to guard the ways he controls us with lies like, “That’s just the way I am.” “This is just theContinue reading “Help Us See, Set Us Free”
Transformation by the Word
What are you doing to go to deeper depths with Christ? How are you making sure what you’re learning in the Word isn’t just head knowledge, but heart transformation? Let the truth you know be the truth you live! Lord, help us truly engage with You in Your Word, to remember that when we openContinue reading “Transformation by the Word”
Fight the True Fight – Ephesians 6:10-18
Lord, remind us please, before we post, before we comment, before we assume that someone is about evil, to pray. Help us remember that our brother is not our enemy. Remind us to fight together against the true enemy. Help us understand each other, and pray before we speak, before we react, before we imagineContinue reading “Fight the True Fight – Ephesians 6:10-18”
Humble, We Are Heard & Healed
In the beginning, as the Lord first began forming this Prayer Wall a year ago, He gave me a dream one night of a great host, each with a flame of fire from the altar in their hands, waiting and ready for the prayers of the saints. (Revelation 8:1-5) They were solemn, expectant. For theContinue reading “Humble, We Are Heard & Healed”
Pray We Will Pray
Can you believe we’re coming up soon on one year since God started this #PrayerWall on July 4, 2020? I’ve been reading some of those early posts, keeping in mind all that has happened since. This one caught my attention today: I had a dream that I was watching a board game that most knowContinue reading “Pray We Will Pray”
For Fathers
Some encouragement for fathers from the heart of our Perfect Father: My son, I know your heart. You have longed to be the perfect father, to not make the same mistakes your own father did, to raise your children up to love Me, to empower them to be all I created them to be. IContinue reading “For Fathers”
Growing in Love
In Matthew 22:37-40, Jesus gave this one command in two parts: LOVE. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. And love others as you love yourself. He said that if you are doing these things, then you are doing everything God asks of you. So, how are we doing with that these days?Continue reading “Growing in Love”
Just a Prayer Away
A couple of weeks ago, my daughter, a friend and I all had similar dreams in a row. In each, there was something precious we had longed for or worked hard for through God’s leading that He did indeed bless us with; but the enemy craftily distracted us so he could break in and stealContinue reading “Just a Prayer Away”
Pray for Fathers
Lord, we ask You today for our fathers, both earthly and spiritual. Bless them abundantly, and draw them all the closer to You. Show them the ways You want to use them for Your glory, and give them courage to step out in those things and to do everything in Your empowering. Lead them toContinue reading “Pray for Fathers”
Family Unity for Ministers
I grew up overseas, as the daughter of missionaries. Many of my MK (missionary kid) friends have excelled in life. They feel at home, no matter where they are in the world, and the Lord uses them in powerful ways. In stark contrast, other MK friends have left the faith and made devastating choices. AfterContinue reading “Family Unity for Ministers”
Rest
My beloved bride, today I’m calling you to rest in Me. Don’t be like the wife who rushes about to please her Husband, doing things I never asked you to do and missing out on the one thing that matters. Luke 10:38-42. Come, sit with Me awhile. Listen to My voice. Hear My heart forContinue reading “Rest”
Pray for Our Children
Lord, we ask You, please, for our children. Guard their hearts. Watch over them as they play. Keep their minds and eyes and hearts and bodies pure. Don’t let any hurt or harm come to them. Give them a hunger for You, Lord, that drives them to read the Bible; and each time they do,Continue reading “Pray for Our Children”
Leading through Love – Matthew 22:37-40
Satan wants to keep us so busy with even good causes that we forget the eternal thing that matters most: Love. 1 John 4:8. How much we accomplish or how great others think we are won’t amount to anything in the end. Only how well we loved. 1 Corinthians 13. So many marriages, families, teams,Continue reading “Leading through Love – Matthew 22:37-40”
Don’t Give in to Distractions
I had a series of dreams last night. In each one, I was given a precious gift from the Lord. In some dreams, it was something I worked hard for through the Lord’s leading; in others, it was purely a blessing from His hand; and in the last dream, it was something dear to meContinue reading “Don’t Give in to Distractions”
Good News for an Abundant Life
There is only one God. He is the Creator of the Universe, infinite, all-powerful, perfect, holy. He created us because He loves us and wants us to enjoy Him and love others through His love. That is our whole reason for being. But sin, our prideful, selfish thoughts and actions separate us from this holyContinue reading “Good News for an Abundant Life”
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”
A Third of Us
Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the Good News? That’s right. Nearly 2.3 billion people are cut off from hearing Jesus’ name. Most of these live in nations closed off to the Gospel message because of oppressive governments and/or religions. Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekersContinue reading “A Third of Us”
Pray for India
Due to the current surge in both Covid and persecution of Christians, let’s pray for India, #10 on the 2021 World Watchlist of most dangerous countries for Christians. Lord, please make a way where there seems to be no way for food and provisions to reach those in need. Make Yourself known to each ofContinue reading “Pray for India”
Light Up the World – John 8:12
I had a dream that the armies of God were spying on the enemy, breaking apart his plans before they could ever be put in place. Lord, break apart the enemy’s plans before they even start. Shut him down completely. Make his every move so laughable and silly, no person will go along with it.Continue reading “Light Up the World – John 8:12”
Using Our Trials Well
How have the pandemic and other events of this past year nudged you to do more of the things that matter most? Have you spent more time in prayer? Rested?

Pray for Palestine
Due to current world events, let’s pray for Palestine today. Lord, please guard every heart and soften it to You.

Fasting and Prayer for the Nations April 13-May 12
Is the Lord calling you to fast as we pray for Global Awakening these next 30 days? Fasting from worldly comfort as you spend time with the Lord in prayer often leads to breakthrough, both in that situation and in your own heart. Traditionally, we think of fasting from food, such as skipping a mealContinue reading “Fasting and Prayer for the Nations April 13-May 12”

Echoing the God of Revival
God is so sweet the way He confirms whatever He is speaking to our hearts. My friend Rachel calls it His “echoes.” I love that word. How intimate and personal that the God who created us would speak to us, and then set creation into motion to echo what He said. (Press here for aContinue reading “Echoing the God of Revival”

Pray for Niger
Because of recent world events, let’s lift up Niger today. Lord, we cry out to You for those who have lost loved ones to Islamic violence in Niger these past few weeks. Stop the violence, Lord.

Prayer for Revival
Oh, Lord, what will it take for our hearts to finally hunger and thirst for You such that we will let go of the temporary, of-this-world things we’ve held onto, and grab hold of what is eternal? What will it take for whole families, cities, nations, the entire world to turn our eyes to HolyContinue reading “Prayer for Revival”
A Prayer for the Lost – John 3:16
Thank You, Lord, for taking upon Yourself the weight of our sin and bearing it in our place as You died upon that cross and then, three days later, rose from the dead. Because of Your sacrifice and resurrection, we now have salvation and eternal life. But, Jesus, today, we cry out to You forContinue reading “A Prayer for the Lost – John 3:16”
The Persecutors and the Persecuted
Remembering today what our Savior went through for our freedom, and praying for both persecutors and those enduring persecution for Christ’s sake throughout the world today: Lord, thank You for Your gift of the cross. Whatever we suffer feels so small compared to Your taking on the whole burden of our sin and carrying itContinue reading “The Persecutors and the Persecuted”
Broken for Our Sin
Today, on Maundy Thursday, we think on the Last Supper, the prophetic bread broken that night to symbolize how the Bread of Life would soon be broken. By this time, Judas had already chosen to betray His Master and Friend. The others would soon fall asleep, and then desert the Lord. And Peter, who promisedContinue reading “Broken for Our Sin”
Pray for Release from Prison
Lord, as we remember Your death and sacrifice, we ask You to please protect Christian leaders throughout the world who have been arrested and imprisoned for their faith. We ask You for their release. Perform miracles and signs and wonders to open up the way for them to walk out unharmed. And grow Your church,Continue reading “Pray for Release from Prison”
Strengthening the Persecuted
As Resurrection Day approaches, let’s remember our sisters and brothers throughout the world who are facing persecution and death for their faith….

Boldly Worshipping the One Who Is Worthy – Luke 19:28-42
Lord, today we celebrate Your triumphant entry into Jerusalem, when the people cried out praises to Your name because of the miracles You had done.
