"He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake." (Psalm 23:3, AMP)
If you are a Believer who is experiencing discouragement, wondering if God is ever going to send you a breakthrough, do you not know that your dry place has a purpose? Don't listen to the lies of the evil one, telling you that things will never change. He is a liar! Jesus Himself was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. It w
Matthew 14:28-31 -- 28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Just like Peter, 2024 is the season that many people nee
"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed." (Roman 8:19)
You were made for this time. God will open up doors for you that no man can close, and that you will realize His dreams, purposes, and calling in your life. You are the missing piece that this world needs -- never believe the lie that you are not. God had confounding plans for you.
Keep believing. Have faith and have courage. You were made to shine. You are not alone, and the best

"He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." - John 7:38
Many needed breakthroughs for the Body of Christ are awaiting the release of this river we carry within.
Hearts clogged with unbelief, doubt, and pain through trauma will receive a visitation of His power that will release the wells within. Many in 2024 are going through fiery trials that are strategies from the enemy to cause fear and doubts to arise, to hinder or ha
Romans 8:33 - "Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies."
The book of Job tells us that Satan came to God's throne and complained about Job. (Job 1:6-12) God's throne is the most holy place. So why did God allow Satan to come before Him in the most holy place? Because of Adam's sin, He had the right to take Adam's place and come before God.
So, what happened to Job cannot happen to us. Job longed for a mediator, but he had none. (Job 9:33). Today we h
"Go...and see what the land is, and whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, whether they are few or many, and whether the land that they dwell in is good or bad, and whether the cities that they dwell are camps or strongholds, and whether the land is rich or poor, and whether there are trees in it or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit of the land." - Numbers 13:18-20
Caleb was a giant slayer in his spirit before he physically conquered any giants. We read the
The process you may be going through right now, where God is leading you into something so new that your emotions have felt like a mess. It's where you wake up feeling lost and displaced. It's where you feel moments of being numb and can feel a void of sorts in your soul. It's where you feel such a discontent for what you were once doing, the language you once used, and the vision you once had. You feel like your appetite and affections have somehow shifted overnight, leaving you reeling.
"Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil. and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives." - Hebrews 2:14,15
At the Cross, Jesus broke the power of sin. When He was resurrected, He destroyed the power of death.
"Having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, w
We are continually reaping a harvest from what we have sown. Sow the goodness of God into the lives of others through your Christ calling and reap a harvest of God's favor.
Whatever your life looks like right now—wherever you are in your faith walk—you can begin anew. Recognize your current spiritual output, release it to the Lord (repenting as necessary and breaking any word curses you have spoken), and speak life into every famished place the Spirit of the Lord brings to your heart and
"I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in Me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in Me and believes in Me will never ever die..." John 11:25-26
Jesus, the Son of God, came to manifest what He is and has always been – Resurrection and Life! Jesus did not come to earth to teach about a theory; He was and is forever the resurrection life for everyone who receives Him. Jesus Christ did not only raise the dead, like He did Lazarus, but brought to Believers the reve
You are invited by the Lord to leave your place of comfort and small thinking. You align yourself with the wrong people, the wrong future, and the wrong places because it's comfortable. But it's never comfortable to be courageous and move forward in life.
God is inviting you into a battle of internal transition. He is going after a retreating spirit that is empowered by the fear of pain, confrontation, shame, and the fear of people. Your own will and heart cannot give up now; you must ma
"For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you." - Isaiah 60:2
He's rising upon you right now! You have purpose in His Kingdom; what you do with this seed and in 2024 will be determined by you. If you keep the seed (your destiny, business, family) in your hands, God cannot activate the fullness of His blessings and goodness.
This year, determine in your soul (your mind
Acts 16:16 - "One day, as we were going to the house of prayer, we encountered a young slave girl who had an evil spirit of divination, the spirit of Python. She had earned great income for her owners by being a fortune-teller."
Paul and Silas were on their way to the house of prayer but were sidetracked in their path by a slave girl. The spirit of Python seeks to distract and then enslave. Its objective is to distract those on their way to prayer; those who are on their way to implement t
"be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord..." Ephesians 5:18-21
This season is going to be a season of saturation and impartation of the Holy Spirit. It's time to get SATURATED! Drink well of the Holy Spirit. Welcome the Holy Spirit. Don't be casual, but be intentional about being radical for God's Spirit to saturate your life.
After Jesus was resurrected from the dead He spoke
In Acts 26:16, when Saul met Jesus in the explosive glory fire, Jesus "appointed" him to bear witness of Him.
The Lord is releasing a glory fire (fire of the Lord that brings sudden breakthrough and divine turnarounds) as in the days of Saul, and out of that fire He is "appointing" a generation of the Sons of Thunder (see Mark 3:17).
Thunder (in the reference in Mark 3), in the Greek means to roar. These Sons of Thunder, who will be released throughout the earth, will roar with the voi
The passionate pursuit of God will deliver you from the religious mindsets that attempt to bind and hinder you. Find freedom and victory as you move into a powerful place of pursuit in the Holy Spirit. Find the high places of the Holy Spirit!
Faith is the foundation for our authority. Believing the words of scripture is essential for our faith to be alive and active.
God wants to release His people from condemnation, fear, and shame. These are the foes of authority. They keep
Job 33:4, "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life."
When God breathes in us and upon us, we are receiving His inspiration. Our goal in worship is not just to sing a song to God but to get to such a place of intimate connection that inspiration takes place where we receive a deposit from Heaven.
The result of being inspired by God brings us into alignment with His thoughts, His heart and brings a flow of true worship in our lives. He is looking f
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." - Hebrews 12:1-2
We are all running the race in our calling in Christ. The Lord wants
The first thing God did was speak with His voice. We are created in the image and likeness of God. When we speak through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, there is power to shift atmospheres from darkness to light.
The enemy always aims to shut down your voice. Our voice, anointed and inspired by the Holy Spirit, is one, if not the greatest, weapon God has given us to shift atmospheres. We've been created with a voice. In the beginning, God said, "Let there be light" (Genesis 1:3)
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what part has he who believes with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God."As God has said: I will live in them and walk in them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 'Therefore, 'Come out from among them and be separate,
Break the bondage of a passive spirit. Take up the sword of the Spirit and embrace the fight of world challenging faith.
Speaking to the mountains in your life and believing what you say transitions you from seeing God as far off in Heaven, answering your requests, to you recognizing that God lives by His Holy Spirit inside of you.
You can bear the burdens of others and you are the go-between for them before God. You ask on their behalf, in faith, believing, then GO and
"My Father is working until now, and I Myself am working." - John 5:17
We work and partner with what he is already doing in Heaven. The father works in heaven and we work with the Holy Spirit on earth. "So Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he "sees" the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise."
We are totally dependent on the Holy Spirit to discern the Father's will for us in advancing
Hosea 2:16 - "'It will come about in that day,' declares the Lord, 'that you will call Me Ishi....'"
Ishi, in Hebrew, is a name which means, "my husband" and expresses the intimacy of a close relationship. You might be in a desert, but the desert doesn't have to be in you. Jesus said there are springs of water in you, "springing up into everlasting life."
The springs begin to well up, and praise and adoration flows out of you. Before you know it, the springs are watering everythi
It's essential that we as Spirit-filled Believers understand the power of our words and decrees.
Isaiah 55:11 is a word in season for every hungry Believer to take advantage of. As you open your mouth and speak out your DESTINY, you will breathe life into your situations and see impossible circumstances turn around.
In 2024 the Holy Spirit wants to build the lives of our children, family, friends, community and the Church; and it is vital that we come into agreement with
