God doesn’t desire our words, but our hearts.
The more our hearts become His, the less our worship will be ours.

Worrier or warrior? Conflict and problems are a part of life. We have many promises of being more than a conqueror through the Lord Jesus, who strengthens us and lives within believers. That which causes fear suffers defeat, as you wear the armor of God and fight.
The armor of God protects when you wage war against evil and makes you victorious. Jesus conquered the enemy of your soul and his victory is yours, when you are joined with him. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. Know your true identity!
Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you.
Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser! Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious. (Ephesians 6:10-13 TPT)

No matter how many enemies surround you, fear, sickness, worries, aggression, lack, or anything else, God is always with you. When you dwell in his presence, nothing can harm you. In the secret place, his presence covers and protects you from harm. He is your lavish Provider.
Join me in praising the Lord, for his love, kindness, mercy, and goodness. Joy and thankfulness burst from my lips, for his keeping me safe and secure. Hallelujah!
Here’s the one thing I crave from God,
the one thing I seek above all else:
I want the privilege of living with him every moment in his house,
finding the sweet loveliness of his face,
filled with awe, delighting in his glory and grace.
I want to live my life so close to him
that he takes pleasure in my every prayer.
In his shelter in the day of trouble, that’s where you’ll find me,
for he hides me there in his holiness.
He has smuggled me into his secret place,
where I’m kept safe and secure—
out of reach from all my enemies.
Triumphant now, I’ll bring him my offerings of praise,
singing and shouting with ecstatic joy!
Yes, listen and you can hear
the fanfare of my shouts of praise to the Lord! (Psalm 27:4-6 TPT)

I pray today that your faith exceeds the boundaries of the past, and the limitations of your mind.
I decree that your eyes would be opened to see your own value, your own attractiveness, and your Own God-given power and spheres of influence, in this world.
I pray that you would not be blinded or hindered by what you’re going through but that you would still SEE AND MOVE INTO WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. Because your heart has been through so much, I pray that Yahweh gives you a new one today.
Although there may be or may have been some misunderstanding, discouragement, hardship, grief, and devastating unexpected’s in your life, GOD IS WORKING IT ALL TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD!
I decree that everything that has happened or is happening in your life that’s not in line with God’s good and very good for you, I pray that TODAY, GOD MAKES IT LIKE IT NEVER WAS.
The LOVE YAHWEH HAS FOR YOU, IS STRONGER AND GREATER THAN WHAT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH…Selah

Father in Heaven, thank you for your love and your truth found in your Word.
Praise your name that:
The rarest treasures of life are found in your truth.
That’s why I prize God’s word like others prize the finest gold.
Nothing brings the soul such sweetness
as seeking his living words.
For they warn us, his servants,
and keep us from following the wicked way,
giving a lifetime guarantee:
great success to every obedient soul!
Without this revelation-light,
how would I ever detect the waywardness of my heart?
Lord, forgive my hidden flaws whenever you find them.
Keep cleansing me, God,
and keep me from my secret, selfish sins;
may they never rule over me!
For only then will I be free from fault
and remain innocent of rebellion.
So may the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts,
and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing,
acceptable before your eyes,
my only Redeemer, my Protector-God. (Psalm 19:10-14 TPT)
Amen!

What changes hatred and division? The most effective atmosphere changer is the love of God demonstrated. When pure love is released, hatred, bitterness, and anger bow their knees. The enemy of our souls, works by fear and intimidation and cannot operate in a climate of love.
When we forgive rather than remaining angry and resentful, God’s love releases through our actions. Forgiveness given freely, not based on whether it is deserved, brings a new lightness. Hearts soften and resistance melts in the presence of love. Pride, stubbornness and hatred, flee. As we forgive and love, as God loves and forgives us, positive change occurs in the way we think and interact.
Love is the best weapon there is! It transforms relationships and ourselves.
Above all, constantly echo God’s intense love for one another, for love will be a canopy over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8 TPT)

Do you feel like you are wandering in the wilderness, with no destination in sight? When you are in the desert, distractions fall away and it is only you and the Lord. It may seem routine and boring, but the Lord is teaching you to depend upon his tender care.
Often, life gets busy and we get distracted with entertainment, work, social media, and relationships. Currently, we are in a season, where everything has quieted and disruption is the new normal. The things we depended upon have ceased, including employment, income, social activity, health, with prosperity, uncertain. Now, it is you and the Lord. He is calling to each one of us, to get to know him, in a more intimate way. He is our Daddy God, Redeemer, Provider, Savior, Sustainer, Shepherd, Comforter, Teacher, Wisdom Giver, Deliverer, and Friend. He wants you to know that he loves you and will bring you through your trials to a wonderful end. Spend time with him and pour out your heart to him, then listen to what he has to say to you.
When our circumstances squeeze us, what comes out was already inside of us. Is it peace, joy, patience, faithfulness, kindness, and love? Or is it fear, insomnia, restlessness, depression, loneliness, grouchiness, complaining, self pity, bitterness, or hopelessness? The Lord desires you to depend on him, to come to love your relationship, as you become secure in his loving kindness towards you. Know he is bringing you through this into your promises.
Your Gateway of Hope is coming! Get ready!
“But then I will win her back once again.
I will lead her into the desert
and speak tenderly to her there.
I will return her vineyards to her
and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope.
She will give herself to me there,
as she did long ago when she was young,
when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt.” (Hosea 2:14-15 NLT)

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.

I prophesy resurrection power and life, to your spirit, soul, and body today! I prophesy wholeness to your heart today. I declare every hindrance, curse, and wicked work of the enemy, broken off your family bloodlines, by the redemptive blood of Yeshua!
NO longer will you have the speed bump of what other people think, or the addiction of people approval, because you are soaring on the wings of God’s love, and consumed with what He says about you.
YOU ARE RISING FROM THE GRAVES OF DISCOURAGEMENT, BETRAYAL, BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS, MAKING POOR DECISIONS, ABUSE, AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS MEANT TO KILL YOU. YOU ARE LEAVING FEAR, OPINIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE, TRAUMA (IN THE WOMB, CHILDHOOD, AND THE PAST), SHAME, AND EVERY IDOL (FALSE OR WRONG IMAGE OF ONESELF AND GOD) BEHIND. YOU ARE MOVING FORWARD IN THE DIVINE PROMISES, PROVISION, AND PROVIDENCE OF GOD, NOW, THIS MONTH, NEW SEASON—TODAY!
AND I LOVE YOU!
