I AM a safe place to find refuge. I never shift or change. I AM steadfast and wholly reliable. Run to Me. Rest in Me. Rely on Me. I AM your God, so find safety in My presence. I AM your all in all, and I AM all you need. Continue reading “YHVH Misgab (the Lord your Strong Tower)”

YHVH Tsidkenu (the Lord your Righteousness)

Yield to My soothing touch. And let My rod and My staff bring direction and comfort. I AM with you always, and My counsel is trustworthy for I AM righteousness and I AM truth. Trust in Me. Continue reading “YHVH Tsidkenu (the Lord your Righteousness)”

You don’t have to earn it, or convince Me of your worth, for it is yours. Simply rest in My presence and receive. Continue reading “YHVH Rapha (the Lord your Healer)”

I AM Unshakable

Hebrews 12:28-29 (VOICE) Therefore, let us all be thankful that we are a part of an unshakable Kingdom and offer to God worship that pleases Him and reflects the awe and reverence we have toward Him, for He is like a fierce fire that consumes everything.

Beloved, I AM unshakable. My Kingdom knows no end. I AM a fierce and mighty warrior – a blazing fire and a roaring lion, shaking all that can be shaken so that what may stand firm will remain. 

As you are tested in the fires, you need not be afraid. In the valley of the shadow of death, I AM with you – you have nothing to fear. Join forces with Me. Stay by My side and trust Me, for I AM unshakable. Continue reading “I AM Unshakable”

Advocate for Harmony

Galatians 3:28 (VOICE) It makes no difference whether you are a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a freeman, a man or a woman, because in Jesus the Anointed, the Liberating King, you are all one.

Beloved, humans have a tendency to focus on areas of difference, often because the strangeness of what is unfamiliar catches the attention. Choosing to celebrate those differences without allowing division can be a powerful tool for unity. 

There is no problem noting differences as long as they aren’t used to separate. For My heart is for unity in love. Therefore as you reflect the same thing and choose to be at ease with that which is different, you demonstrate to others that they should do likewise. In doing so you become an advocate for harmony and an instigator of peace.

Be Undone

Isaiah 6:5 (NKJV) So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”

Beloved, as you rightly see Me, you cannot help but be humbled. It is not a bad thing to be completely wrecked in My presence. You are safe with me, so be undone. Let the trappings of the world disappear and see rightly, for from that place truth comes forth. 

Beloved, I break that I might heal – and I strengthen you in the healing. I prepare you for the times ahead. Trust yourself to Me, and be undone in My presence. Then let me bring strength and restoration as I commission you for the road ahead.  Continue reading “Be Undone”

Love is the Underpinning of Harmony

Colossians 3:14 (NLT) Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.

Beloved, be clothed in love. Just as people will see your outer garment first, so let your love be so apparent that it is easily seen by all. Be known as a person who loves well, for I AM love, so love comes from Me. 

Love is the underpinning of harmony. For true harmony to exist, you must operate in grace and humility with a liberal dose of love. For love brings forth true peace as you come together in a true joyous representation of unity.

Look Closely

Revelation 5:5 (AMP) Then one of the [twenty-four] elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look closely, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome and conquered! He can open the scroll and [break] its seven seals.”

Beloved, look closely and see with spiritual eyes. Resist the urge to allow things in the natural to influence your foundational core. You know who I AM, so what have you to fear? You know who I AM, so why should you worry?

I AM the victorious One. My Kingdom is everlasting. No earthly situation will change that outcome. So remember that if human life is simply a wisp – a vapor, and each human circumstance is merely a tiny fraction of that vapor – so slight and fleeting.

So be sure to keep the circumstances of the day right-sized. Refuse to allow them to overwhelm or intimidate you. For regardless of the situation, I AM bigger. And regardless of the opposition you face, I AM stronger. So have faith in Me, and watch with spiritual eyes as I move in your life.

Be Vigilant

Matthew 26:41 (ASV) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Beloved, stay alert. Keep your spiritual eyes open and attentive. Then allow My Spirit to move you based on what you’ve seen, that you might know how to pray. Resist the urge to rely on your natural senses, for they are limited and create bias. 

Instead be vigilant in the spirit – be open to what you’re “seeing” and sensing. Then pray. For, beloved, I have called you to a lifestyle of prayer. So be intentional to continually stay in communion with Me as you bring petitions before My throne.
