The Lord says: Do you have the same hunger for me as you have for food, possessions and entertainment? Do you long to eat and drink the delicacies of my spiritual food and drink, more than anything else? I desire to sup with you but you are too busy. My heart yearns for you to spend more time with me, so I can satisfy your true thirst and hunger.
Rest and worship, as did the woman, who desired my presence more than the approval of men. Her breaking her alabaster box and pouring its costly precious perfume, on my head, was fragrant worship that remained with me, when I laid down my life for you. (Matthew 26:6-13)
I long for worshipers that desire me more than anything else. It is time for you to cry out to me: Make me more hungry and thirsty for you, Jesus!
Oh, who will pay the price, to truly worship me, seeking me with their whole heart? Come away with me, my beloved.

True Covenant is so much more than agreement. True covenant is fighting to keep covenant relationship with one another, instead of arguing who is wrong or who is right. I’m so elated that the Father is LOVE, he remains in covenant with us wrong or right, agreement or disagreement.
Lord help us be more exemplary.

God gives us the transforming life of his son, Jesus the Messiah. No matter how many times we fail, God never gives up on us and loves anyway. This love has no hooks, is scandalous, and amazing. God is wonderful beyond comprehension and description! Rejoice in this truth.
“God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you. Never forget that.” (1 Corinthians 1:9 MSG)

What you care about, you make effort about, and what you don’t care for, you make excuses for. However, Yahweh cared so much for us that he gave us his son, as a sacrifice for us. How will you expend yourself for others today? Love is selfless not selfish.

How many times have you cried to God for deliverance from a difficult trial? The pressure seemed endless, relentless and unpleasant. God answers, “I will go with you through your troubles and give you strength to endure the test.”
Maturity comes with bumps in the road, not when there are no challenges. Testings purify and make you stronger. The key to passing the test is total reliance on the Lord and not depending on your brilliance, analysis, flesh or own strength. Leaning on the Lord humbles and rids one of pride and independence.
Thank you Lord for giving me tests and helping me pass them!
Blessed are those who endure when they are tested. When they pass the test, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (James 1:12 NOG)

While listening to the Lord, the sun highlighted the tops of the spruce trees that had immature spruce cones. “The seeds of greatness are within you but they are not yet mature. Stay close to me, supple and pliable to my will. You will grow and mature and have mighty impact for my kingdom. Let my wind blow so cross-pollination from other trees will help in the maturing process. Once you are mature, you will leave the spruce, your seeds will release and die. As you kill the selfish flesh, the seeds sprout and produce many new trees. Patience, trust and reliance upon me brings forth much fruit.”
Let me make this clear: A single grain of wheat will never be more than a single grain of wheat unless it drops into the ground and dies. Because then it sprouts and produces a great harvest of wheat—all because one grain died. “The person who loves his life and pampers himself will miss true life! But the one who detaches his life from this world and abandons himself to me, will find true life and enjoy it forever! (John 12:24-25 TPT)

This day, in Jesus’s miraculous name, I loose the pure powerful witchcraft breaking, law fulfilling, heart transforming love of God, against every spirit of fear, fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of being hurt again, fear of success, fear of starting your business, fear of writing your business plan or vision down, fear of poverty, fear of wealth, fear of fame, fear of the future, fear of intimacy, fear of marriage, fear of abuse or being abused again, fear of the past, fear of the present, fear of authority, fear of church, fear of relationship, fear of truth, fear of oneself, fear of abandonment, fear of not having enough, fear of the unknown, fear of being alone, and all the such like. I command fear to rot and dry up in your life and cleanse all the lesser demons out with it.
We speak division in the camp of the enemy. Your destiny is sealed in the blood of the Lamb. We take authority over all scanner spirits, gossiping spirits, run and tell spirits, and spiritual spies, spiritual eyes, and spiritual bugs, in Jesus name.
This week, your enemies will be exposed and so your true friends will be recognized, no more spirit of disguise or waiting for your demise. You have been elevated to SEE what you couldn’t see before.
We negate, and cut off every witchcraft attachment. The assignments of the enemy have just been canceled and broken off your life. We speak blindness, deafness, traitors in the camp of the enemy, concerning your life and conversations today. I speak that the trap planned against You, blows up in their face. Every plot, sabotage, death, and sudden destruction, and scheme of the enemy is SHUT DOWN, NOW. The traps they set for you, they will fall into themselves. I blow a freezing frost, upon all activity not of The Lord, about you. I loose giant warring angels to do battle against all the demonic activity, about you today!
I cancel the prayers and prophecies that are ungodly and not of The Lord concerning you. We destroy every plan and purpose of the enemy against you and we reestablish the plan and purpose of Yahweh for your life. Receive heaven’s abundance, receive heaven’s abundance, receive heaven’s abundance. You are overflowing with the riches of his glory. You are saturated and satiated in the wonders of his love, the warmth of his embrace, and the joy of his countenance.
We are fulfilling our dreams and receiving our inheritance and harvesting our crops. We will not be robbed, bamboozled, or hoodwinked by the enemy. We will walk in truth, love, and not deceived or self-deceived. Everything in the dark, we expose to the Light of Christ. Every hidden trap or wicked device, we crush and destroy, by the voice and sword of The Lord.
Satan, the blood of Jesus is against you! I release the judgment of God against every spirit of death and destruction, playing games with the mind, mind controlling spirits, the spirit of delay, and the spirit of denial and declare everything and everyone ordained for you, is coming to you now, in this hour, this season, now!
Everything evil being sent your way, God turns it into a blessing. I loose the spirit of breakthrough that you would break through every wall and every barrier and every unforeseen barrier, in the power of Christ. The breaker comes up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord on the head of them. (Micah 2:13)
We decree, the gates are open over your life, your business, your ministry, your husband, your wife, your children, and your career. The floodgates of heaven are released over your life. You have a greater abundance of power and life, today because you have Heaven’s provision, prosperity, protection, and providence. Plunge into the new day of release, thrust into the truth and freedom of what Heaven says about you, and divine into the realm of your impossibilities becoming realities.

I bow my knees before the Father of Yeshua Christ, after whom all the families in heaven and on earth receive their names.
Daddy God, please give me, a gift from the wealth of your glory. I pray that you would give me inner strength and power through your Spirit. Then Christ will dwell in me through faith, as I open the door and invite him in. I also pray that love’s rich soil be the place where my roots anchor and on which I have my secure foundation. This way, with all of Daddy God’s people, I will be able to understand and experience, how wide, long, high, and deep your love is. I will know Christ’s love, which goes far beyond any knowledge or comprehension. I am praying this so that I may be filled, saturated and flooded with you, Daddy God.
Glory belongs to you, Daddy God, whose power is at work in me. By this power you can do infinitely more than I can ask or imagine. Glory belongs to you, God, in the church and in Christ Yeshua for all time and eternity! So be it. (Ephesians 3:14-21)
