“This is the day the Lord has made, I rejoice and be glad in it!” Almost, every morning this is the verse that my Mom and I speak to each other as she is getting up and looking out her big bedroom window into a new day. It was 3 years ago now we were beginning to hear the rumbles of the fear attack. It was a hard time for everyone. Praise the Lord that we learned so many valuable lessons and we are seeing some serious revivals and outpouring of the Holy Spirit going on!!
 
Friday night we were watching Flash Point and they were having a meeting in Brownsville or Pensacola, Florida where years ago there was a awesome, anointed revival in that same church that lasted for years. As we watched and listened, we felt like we were there experiencing the power. We were part of this worship and praise for about 2 and half hours. It was amazing. Simple worship, healing prayer, and thousands of Believers responded to come forward and soak in it. This was probably a Believers meeting at the physical location but we know it went far and wide into the world and many unbelievers heard and felt His love. The thing is this was Believers flooding the altars with pain in their lives. If we as Believers are hurting so much, what about those who don’t believe. This meeting was real. We were there 26 years ago and saw this same power and anointing and saw over 60 pastors receive salvation. It’s beginning with us as Believers so we can go into all the world and preach the Gospel! Lies from the enemy affected every household these last 3 years, even Believers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every single household across this nation and the world had to make big choices that sounded like life or death in the physical. That was the main lie. The enemy, through many corrupt and evil people,  was giving a choice between do you want to live or die, choose my way – we all know what those choices were, so you can live in my control. It worked. Many listened. I think in this uncharted territory every person got caught up in it even for a day or two. We saw the Believers flood the altar to repent and choose to focus on His truths again. Revival is when people are revived – these hurting people turned their focus back on their loving, anointed, powerful, full of grace Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 
 
As I sat up until after midnight being a part of this anointed meeting I just wept. The Lord has been showing me so many things and my heart was so open to Him. I felt Him downloading truths in my heart. When I got a pen and paper He shared so much with me and I am going to share that with you. Here is my prayer to Him and what He said to me:
 
“Father, let me hear Your heart right now. I feel Your Presence and hear some whispers. My heart longs for Your Presence. My heart’s desire is to know You and live my life for You. To worship You and praise You in all I do.”
         “It’s time to rise above! Rise above the nonsense of the world. Rise above the negative, rise above the menial conversations. Look to Me! You are not looking to Me, you are looking to the works of the enemy. Your focus is on what the evil of the world are doing instead of what I am doing! You talk awakening – revival – great awakening while all the time having your focus on what the enemies of Me are doing! Do you even know the great things that are happening right now today! My people, My family focusing on what is wrong instead of what is upright. I’m still Creator! Did you ever stop to think that your words have had much to do with what is happening? Your words have created the death you see. Life – are you seeing death or life? You are focusing on the death and talking about it in My house, in the marketplace, around your family table, in all you do. There’s a truth to the negative things that are happening, there’s much evil around you but you must rise above! Where you are standing, where you are sitting, where you are talking are the same paths of the wicked! You are focusing on the negatives of the world as much as the world is focusing on finding negative in the goodness of Me. Rise above! Don’t walk in step with the wicked nor share the sinner’s way, you are walking there when all you focus on is the ways of the enemy. My Word says that your passion is to remain true to the Word “I AM”, meditating day and night on the true revelation of light. (Psalm 1 TPT). To meditate on the revelation of light day and night means to meditate 24/7 on what is good and delightful. Are you delighting in My goodness? Are you delighting in My love?
 
Fear – which is the focus of dread – has overtaken the world, Believers included. Fear is dreading what you lack or think you lack. In Me there is no lack but when the focus is on what seems to be lacking, that is darkness. What seems to be lacking? Finances, food, eggs, meat, fuel. These are the focus of lack in the physical. Wisdom, understanding, peace, joy. Hope seem to be lacking in the emotional realm. Yet these are all things already provided for you through My Son’s death. I gave My Son so you would have everything that pertains to life! There is NO lack in Me. Negative words are words of death not life and are words of lack not abundant life. When will My people focus on John 10:10. The thief comes to kill, steal and destroy, that’s what My people are talking about, focusing on NOT that I came to give life more ABUNDANT! I don’t see the focus on abundant life. I hear the words of those talking about abundant life someday. If I am in you, abundant life is NOW, it was yesterday and is forever. There’s no such thing as lack or no abundance in Me! Those talking about seeing a great awakening need to wake up themselves! Until they can rise above and wake up to only focusing on Me they are part of the problem.
 
There is no more time to waste. The younger generation is rising above – they are rising above their elders as they are experiencing an outpouring of My Spirit. They aren’t being awakened because they are not asleep. They aren’t in a revival because they are not being revived. They are looking for the truth their elders didn’t tell them about. They are seeking hope. They want real. The generations before them have spent their time fighting over things that don’t matter, criticizing anyone different than themselves. Why would a young person preparing to start their own life outside of their parent’s home want what they see in their elders? Believers and nonbelievers alike don’t have much hope to share with these young people. The young people are messed up in their thinking but why wouldn’t they be? Who has been their example of hope? Hope deferred makes the heart sick. The young people see a sea of sick people that are hopeless. You have to rise above the muck everyone is wallowing in! Stop focusing on the enemy’s ways. You don’t need to know the plans of the wicked.
 
Focus on My plans. Do you know My plans? My plans are to give you a future and hope NO MATTER WHAT! (Jeremiah 29:11). When will you get fed up with the merry-go-round you are on? My ways are certain, I AM the Truth! I’m not a merry-go-round that makes things look blurry, makes you dizzy and unable to focus. I’m not going around and around with no purpose. Get off the merry-go-round and be planted firm like a flourishing tree planted in My design, deeply rooted by the brooks of bliss, bearing fruit in every season of life, never dry – never fainting, ever blessed, ever prosperous. (Psalm 1 TPT) Don’t talk like the wicked. You are to keep your eyes focused on Me not on what the wicked are doing! If your eyes are Me you will know what to pray – what to rebuke -what to declare – what to say! Rise above and see from My perspective! You can’t imagine how wonderful it is!!!”

February 5, 2023
Some weeks I don’t know where to begin with what to share. Lately each week has been full of experiences and opportunities to just draw near and dwell in His presence and wisdom. He speaks clearly to me and I’m desiring a heart that is open to listen constantly.
 
One area of my life He never stops ministering to me in is the area of words, my words and His words. It is so easy for me to start jabbering away without real awareness of what the words are doing to my life. This week in our home we realized that all of us were speaking words that didn’t equal life. The cares of the world and meditations of our hearts had caused us to look at life through condemnation glasses. Every word any of us spoke was taken out of context and heard through the perspective of blame and accusation causing us to answer with excuses, self-pity and selfishness. Excuses = condemnation. The enemy’s greatest lie is to cause each of us to doubt our identity – or doubt who we are in Christ. When we are looking through the glasses of condemnation everything seems to attack our identity. The words we were speaking, hearing and believing were not words of life but of death. We decided as a family to put a halt to this before it killed relationships. We came together and took off the blindfolds that were causing us to only see darkness and not life. We put on our love glasses and made commitments to see things through His eyes and love. Made a difference immediately.
 
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].” Proverbs 18:21
 
Another area the Lord has been ministering to us in is the area of faith. Sometimes we think we are walking in faith but it is a human faith, faith looking through the glasses of the physical body and soul. Faith is the bridge that brings things that are unseen in the spiritual realm to being seen in the natural realm. Everything that is from our heavenly Father is in the spiritual realm and it takes faith to see all He has provided and receive it in our hearts and it then works in our body and soul. I want to share with you some of Romans 8 that I was reading this week. You can take these scriptures I am sharing and read them, pray them daily. They are powerful and even more powerful when you hide them in your hearts. These are from the Passion Bible but you can read them in other versions too. Makes them come alive even more😊
 
Sunday: “1. So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One,  9. But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life,  you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of him. 10. Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God.  11Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!
 
Monday: 12. So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it. 13. For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste his abundant life.14. The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. 
 
Tuesday: 24. For this is the hope of our salvation. But hope means that we must trust and wait for what is still unseen. For why would we need to hope for something we already have? 25. So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment. 26. And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
 
Wednesday: 27. God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings,  yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny. 28. So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose. 
31. So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? 32. For God has proved his love by giving us his greatest treasure, the gift of his Son. And since God freely offered him up as the sacrifice for us all, he certainly won’t withhold from us anything else he has to give.
 
Thursday: 33. Who then would dare to accuse those whom God has chosen in love to be his? God himself is the judge who has issued his final verdict over them—“Not guilty!” 34. Who then is left to condemn us? Certainly not Jesus, the Anointed One! For he gave his life for us, and even more than that, he has conquered death and is now risen, exalted, and enthroned by God at his right hand. So how could he possibly condemn us since he is continually praying for our triumph? 35. Who could ever divorce us from the endless love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish his love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and heaven’s love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent love, 
 
Friday: 36. even though it is written: All day long we face death threats for your sake, God. We are considered to be nothing more than sheep to be slaughtered!  37. Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors,  and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything! 38. So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s love. I’m convinced that his love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken his love. 39. There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!”
 
Saturday: “Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord,
and you will gain knowledge of God.” Proverbs 2:2-5
 
Let’s continue to seek Him and His wisdom, to be obedient to His words and speak words of life. We are to continue to come together in unity praying together and encouraging one another. Not everything He directs you to do will make sense in the natural. May cost you lots of time and money but if it is from Him, it is all worth it. The peace, joy, and rest that come from His ways are far above any earthly treasure we will ever find. Make the most of each day and know that the time is short. Laugh, rejoice, dance and celebrate His goodness. Anticipate that every day is going to be the best day ever!
