Many of my sons and daughters fail to recognize the spiritual battle that takes place over their lives every day. There are unseen forces that seek to make you think a thought, make a decision or think negatively toward me. One thing you should do whenever a thought enters your mind is ask yourself, “Who

Son, part of the continued grief you carry is the burden of my heart for the one you are standing in the gap for. This is partly the genuine loss you feel, but it is also the burden of intercession I have given you in this matter. I’m allowing you to identify personally with this

Son, some believe that I will do what I will do. I want you to know that I require humans to accomplish my will regarding many matters on earth. Such was the case when my people fought against the Amalekites. I instructed my intercessor, Moses, to hold up his arms to signify the partnership between

Son, I want you to understand something about my ways. Many of my sons and daughters pray for those they love. Some ask for salvation for a loved one. Some ask for a restored relationship that is broken. There is one thing I cannot do. I cannot violate a son or daughter’s free will. I

Son, the power of moving as one people cannot be underestimated. When my sons lived in Babel they began to understand this principle. However, I was not pleased with their motive for unity. There was pride in their hearts: “And they said, ‘Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is

Son, I have placed a special gift of mercy in some of my sons and daughters. However, without maturity, they will actually oppose the deeper work I am attempting to do in others. It is absolutely necessary for each of my sons and daughters to go to their own cross. But some have been counseled

You are beginning to understand my true nature my son. So many view me by their own experiences and life wounds. They attribute things to me I would never put on my sons and daughters. How could a father want anything but good for his kids? That is my nature. Yes, there are times for

Son, my kingdom operates by a whole different set of values than the world. This is especially true regarding your enemies. I actually want you to bless those that curse you and forgive those who say things that are not true about you. If you are able to do this you will be free. If

Do you remember my son Peter, when my Son told him that he would pray for him because Satan desired to sift him? Now, I answered that prayer, but I did not remove the temptation or the assault upon him. I did, however, answer the prayer by giving Peter the grace to overcome. It is

Son, there are two types of people in your world; those who live as sons and daughters and those who live as slaves and orphans. Those who choose to live as slaves or orphans lack an understanding of my love and influence in their lives. They believe it’s all up to them to make life

Son, my kingdom operates differently from the world you live in when it comes to provision. The world sweats and toils for their provision. But I tell you that when you seek me and my righteousness, all things will be provided to you (Mt 6:33). In my kingdom, provision comes as a result of your

There is a mystery that my sons and daughters have failed to embrace. It has to do with walking in unity together. They spend so much time building their own thing. My desire is for them to model a different way. Think of it this way: one mission – separate callings – many alliances. By

You have been pondering something, my son, that you’re having trouble reconciling. You are wondering how I could honor David by making his son Solomon king and part of the generational line to the Messiah when he was a byproduct of a sinful relationship, even involving murder as a cover up for David’s sin with

I created every one of my children to have a unique purpose, but not all of them find or fulfill it. Many simply do not seek me to understand how to best live their time on earth. They simply wonder through life trying to live a life free of pain and for the next pleasure

Sometimes I am amazed that my children doubt my existence. Have they not noticed my incredible creativity in my animals– like the tiger, the elephant, my tropical fish, or how about my whales!? Or, have they not noticed my flowers –my orchids, my tulips, or the thousands upon thousands of varieties of my plant life?

Son, you are excited today, aren’t you? That is because you are launching your new product today. I am just as excited as you are. I put that creativity in you. I made you an entrepreneur. You were made to create and to solve problems. Many of my sons and daughters think of their work

Many of my sons and daughters think I want them to work for me on earth. While it is true I give my sons and daughters unique and custom designed assignments, the greatest assignment I have for them is simply to know me and understand my true nature and to know my desire for relationship

Son, you have been learning the difference between my kingdom and the world’s kingdom. There is a kind of joy you have been learning about that is not a “happy” kind of joy, but a joy that resides deep in your soul. It is a joy born out of mourning and suffering like my son.

My desire for all my sons and daughters is that they love me with all of their heart. This would seem to be a simple request. I see that you have such a desire to love me and others. You do well, my son. However, there is so much that can hinder you from allowing

Son, lately I have been calling you into a deeper understanding and commitment to intercession. You have learned that the outer court of my tabernacle is the public place of intercession and ministry unto me. However, the inner court is the place of my presence and intimacy. It is also the place of warfare against

Son, do you remember the time you were flying over my vast ocean and I told you that your life was like pouring a drop of water from your window into the ocean below? That is what your life is like on earth compared to eternity. It is a mere spec of time. Yes, your

Son, I want to remind you that I am a covenant keeper. Many of my sons and daughters keep promises only if the other party fulfills their side of the promise. I fulfill my promise regardless of what you do because I said I would. My word is true and faithful. I told Abraham he

Son, I want to remind you that when my Son left the earth he left instructions for you. He gave you his authority to enforce all my covenant promises on the earth. I left you with more than 7,000 covenant promises in my word. He told you that you would do even greater works than

Do you know that I created you to be successful in life? I put creativity inside of you. I gave you the passion and ability to do what you do. Your work is very important to me. How well you do your labor unto me actually determines the inheritance you will receive from me when

Do you know that when I think of you love swells in my heart for you? If only my sons and daughters knew the depth of my love and thoughts I have for them. You would be shocked to know how much I think about you, and cheer for you. I am your greatest advocate

Son, trusting in me means you believe that my nature and character is to care for your concerns. It means you are willing to trust the outcome of your future to me. It means you choose to let go of those things that you cannot understand, because you believe I do understand. It means letting

Son, delays do not mean I am not listening or caring about your situation. There have been many situations that I did not respond to immediately because things had to develop before the time was right for me to move. I did not deliver my people from the impending Egyptians until I knew I could

Son, I want to tell you the real lesson of the prodigal son today. Many people want to judge the wayward son for his failures. Yes, he did fail and squandered all that his father entrusted to him. However, the father expressed the same attitude I would have had. I rejoice more over his return

Son, by now you realize that the way I train my sons and daughters is by placing them in the middle of the battle. You cannot learn to exercise faith, trust and perseverance merely through knowledge. You cannot learn spiritual warfare by simply knowing it exists. You have to be on the front lines. My

Son, sometimes I take my sons into a time of isolation like I have done with you. It is here I turn messes into messages and develop my greatest messengers. The cave is often a place to process your pain and a place to receive a message from me for your life and for others.

Son, as a leader you will experience a level of adversity that is greater because of your role as a priest called to intercede and identify with those you are to serve. You will feel the weight of those you are to serve. You are to identify with their sin and their struggles. What would
