Many times as we study the word of God, I believe that it would benefit us to slow down and meditate upon not only the passage, but even each word in the passage. If you need healing in your body today° If there has been sickness or disease in your body today° If a spirit of infirmity has taken residence in your flesh° then today is your day for a breakthrough! I invite you to read the following passage from the book of Romans, and as you read it allow the spirit of truth to manifest in your body for your healing.

Sometimes we don't understand God's timing or what He is doing, but learning to love is key to understanding God and His ways. I believe that 2021 is a time when completeness—love's perfection—is coming with greater understanding. Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial, but when love's perfection arrives, the partial will fade away. 1 Corinthians 13:9–10 TPT I want to help you get ready to move beyond "partial knowledge and prophecy" into seeing, hearing and understanding the Lord more clearly than ever before!

Revelation 1 gives us an insight into this reality. When you consider the persecutions of the first apostles you see that what is happening today is not so developed in a concerted effort to persecute the Church, I think we are on the threshold of an end time persecution which shall fill the "cup of iniquity" of the whole world. This shall be pivotal for the end. This series which I started just after the new year has the motivation of preparing the saints for what is coming. What is coming can only be walked through when we are duly prepared in the Word and the Spirit.

Then the servants of the king of Syria said to him, "Their gods are gods of the hills. Therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them in the plain, surely we will be stronger than they…Then a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the Lord: 'Because the Syrians have said, "The Lord is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys," therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.'" 1 Kings 20:23, 28

"Daughters of kings are among your honored women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir." Psalms 45:9 "Now the king was attracted to Esther more than to any of the other women, and she won his favor and approval more than any of the other virgins. So he set a royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti." Esther 2:17 There's nothing more charming than a woman in love, preparing to wed the man of her dreams, except when that woman is the beloved and beautiful Bride of Christ who is smitten with her King! In Psalms 45 we read about an upcoming royal wedding where the queen wears a one-of-a-kind stunning gold gown.

Taste and see that I, the Lord, am good. Blessed is the one that trusts Me and makes their abode in Me. Many choose to place their trust in many things and choose only to come to Me as a last resort but if you choose to place Me first in all things, I will give you all that you need and take care of beforehand every situation that may arise bringing good out of it. I am the Master Builder. If you allow Me to build your house, it will never crumble and fall. You will have a sure foundation and a safe one that the enemy can never steal, kill or destroy from.

Over the last few weeks, I have been feeling the Lord's heart to encourage those who are in and have been in the battle places, more than ever. The heart of the Lord has gripped me strongly as I have felt His love and His encouragement for these battle-weary saints. As I sat with the Lord, I heard the Lord speaking over these ones, "I am restoring your roar." The Lord then showed me that these battle-weary saints have lost their roar in the battle. They have lost their voice and the ferociousness that they once walked in because the battle has been so intense, but the Lord is moving in power to restore the roar of these battle-weary ones.

Sometimes I wonder how the early disciples felt after Jesus left this earth. They were in awe after seeing the wounds in His hands and feet. They had never been more convinced that He was God in the flesh. Yet they probably battled fear and discouragement because He left them alone when He ascended into heaven. Jesus told them He was sending the power of the Holy Spirit, but what would that look like? They had no idea what was next. Jesus didn't give them a script. There was no church bulletin to explain that a rushing wind would blow at 9 a.m., or that flames would rest on their heads at 9:05 a.m., or that they would speak in strange languages at 9:10 a.m.

What is the difference between "worship" and "prophetic worship?" Of course, everything that we do in life should be an act of worship to the Lord. Worship is not really rooted in what we do, but in who we are. We are worshippers. We worship God because of Who He is and what He has done. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. That occurs as we realize who we are. We are His priests. The priestly life is in devotion, consecration and heart commitment to the Lord through a life of worship.

Have you ever prayed and asked God one thing, and He seemed to answer with something that was totally off-topic? For most of my adult life, I felt this way when I prayed about my life's calling or direction. My prayer would always start out something like this: "God, I know You've called me to write, but it feels like there is something specific I should be writing. Would You show me, please God? Call, and I will do whatever You want me to do." Eventually, God would answer, but it seemed His answers to my plea for direction were totally incongruous with what I thought I was asking.
