I woke up this morning hearing the words, “BOUNDARY LINES NOT BATTLE LINES”. My first thought was this has something to do with nations, so I start researching boundary lines in scripture to see what the Lord is saying, the couples verses that stuck out to me were, Acts 17:28 “He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appropriate times and boundaries of their habitation”; and Dueteronomy 32:8 “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.” God loves national boundaries, He set them for a reason and Proverbs 22:28 is crystal clear when it says, “Do not move the ancient boundary.”

I know I have biblical precedence for what I heard waking up, but what is God trying to say to me, this I did not know. I spoke to a friend this morning and she said you may not know what that means for you, but that was a confirmation for me as God is having me draw boundary lines right now. I thought yes, I can hear that for you and see that and celebrate that, but what is God saying? Was it personal boundaries, could be, but it felt like national boundaries to me, so I have been sitting on this all day. Then I am driving home minutes ago and a news alert pops up on my phones and says, “China and Russian nearing a cooperation agreement for Ukraine.” Immediately the Lord said, “Boundary Lines Not Battle Lines, I am setting national boundary lines not drawing battle lines, there is no war coming.”

I do not usually get these kinds of words, but I know the Lord was clear they are not drawing battle lines, but boundary lines, so I am not sure all that is going to look like, I just know what the Lord said. All this fear based talk of war is media propaganda, it is not what is really happening, so fear not, the report of the Lord is, “boundary lines not battle lines.”

A common weapon of the enemy is that of fear. Fear of missing out, fear of the unknown, so many fears. Fear is a weapon that erodes confidence, creates discontent, opens up space for mental illnesses, and even destroys relationships. Jealousy, anxiety, depression, suicide, stress, all are rooted in fear. But the enemy stole something God gave us and twisted it, so when people hear the word fear of anything, they assume something negative. With this being said, when people hear we are to fear the Lord, they say why would God want me to be “afraid” of Him, this is a great example of the enemy hijacking the word fear of…

I was reading Proverbs 19 this morning and Solomon said, “The fear of the LORD leads to life, And he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.” There is nothing scary about this verse and it calls for us to fear the Lord. The fear of the Lord is actually healthy for us, it carries great benefits and supplies us with things we need and desire. Solomon says, the fear of the Lord leads to life, satisfaction, and is a protector against evil. Now that sounds like God’s idea of fear.

What is the fear of the Lord? John Bevere wrote a whole book on it called The Fear of the Lord, so read that if you want a deep dive, but for a simple definition, the fear of the Lord is obedience to God. When I obey the Lord I am revealing I trust Him and it is called the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is in its simplest form, trusting God. Trusting He is in charge, He knows what’s best, He is a protector, provider and promoter. There are so many benefits to the fear of the Lord and I believe as we move away from the fear of the enemy and his voices, we will find many health and wealth benefits to the fear of the Lord. Solomon also says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and we need that in our generation. My friends, I pray you repent of the enemies fear tactics and turn to the fear of the Lord, the benefits are undeniable.

Words are more powerful than we realize, words have the power of life or death in them. Our words are either building people up or tearing them down, there is literally no inbetween. Words are what created everything we see. Genesis 1 says, God spoke and it was. We are created in the image of God and our words have power, life giving power or death destroying power. It doesn’t matter the situation that caused words to come out, if they release death, death is seeded and if they release life, life is seeded. Seeds grow and either produce life or death in people.

It is amazing how many people think if you are a life speaker you are not realistic about what is happening. The truth is, when you know the power your words carry you do not echo the narrative of death and destruction and call it information sharing, you reverse the curse of death and speak life into every situation. Everyone of us is a manifestation of words. Words others have spoken over us and words we have echoed based on what others have said. We must get a revelation of how powerful our words are and how powerful the words we hear are.

Proverbs 16:24 says, “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.” If we want to see a healing movement sweep our nation and the nations, we must begin with what we speak. Our words have the power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, and restore the soul, but we must speak life. Why the connection to words and honey? Solomon knew things we do not know.

Did you know one of the first coins in the world had a bee symbol on it? Did you know there are live enzymes in honey? Did you know this is why the best way to eat honey is with a wooden spoon? Did you know that honey contains a substance to make your brain work better? Did you know that honey is one of the rare foods on earth that alone can sustain human life? Did you know that honey has no expiration date? Did you know that propolis that bees produce is on the of most powerful natural antibiotics?

Now take honey and switch it with the words of life we speak. Our words are to be healing, to be honey to the hearer. Our words heal, they do not expire. God knew what He was doing when He tied our words to honey and now we are speak sweetly to one another, it will make us stronger, healthlier and smarter, not the opposite. It’s time to speak pleaseant words no matter what you see or someone else says.

Happy Valentines Day my friends!

Facebook is going to be filled with people sharing their love for one another and if you do not have a significant other this day can be a challenge. I remember when I was in bible school and I would wear all black on Valentine’s Day, but I also remember the day the Lord told me, am I not the first lover of your soul, can’t you celebrate with Me? From that day on I have loved Valentine’s Day. Jesus is the lover of my soul, so I celebrate this day every year with Him first and with others as well, both my husband, family and friends. So let’s say it again for those in the back, Happy Valentines Day my friends, family and husband.

I was praying Psalm 44 this morning and while praying verse 3 the Lord began to speak me about the importance of dependence and the deception of independence. Listen to what the Psalmist says, “For they did not gain possession of the land by their own sword, Nor did their own arm save them; But it was Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your countenance, Because You favored them.”

We in the west and even in other cultures as well now, have so highly valued independence that we have forgot how to be dependent on each other and on the Lord. Faith is dependence on God, trust is dependence on others, is it any wonder the deepest wounds of all humans is that someone of significance broke their trust? This should not surprise us, because the enemy knows if he can get us to not trust, we will value independence and miss the gift of dependence. Doing life alone is lonely, doing life with God and others is abundance.

On this Valentine’s Day, I pray you renew your dependence on God and others. We need each other, we were not created to do life alone and we need to depend on God, because His favor takes us places and allows us to do things we would have never done on our own. Wherever you are, you are not alone, lean on the Lord, He is there and lean on people, this is what the kingdom looks like. It’s a place of dependence.

Being born into a Babylonian system of darkness, corruption, deceit, and thievery it can be challenging to imagine any other kind of life here on earth. This is why culture is so powerful, you do not realize how much you are apart of your environment (culture) until you go into another one. When I moved to Malaysia, the first three months I was there as a visitor. I was so excited about all the things I was seeing, eating and hearing, it was fun for me for it was new, but when I decided to move there that is when I realized I was American and they were Malaysian. We were all humans, both male and female but our cultures were so different.

When we go into a different culture, we can try and buck that culture, but it will only frustrate us, because that culture will not budge, so we have to conform to it in order to operate in it. We were born into Babylonian culture, that is why when we get saved many people do not conform to the kingdom culture of which Jesus is the only King, they try to buck it and then it doesn’t conform to them, they get frustrated and remain in the Babylonian culture. The kingdom of God is its own culture and it will not conform to our Babylonian ways, we must conform to the kingdom and when we do it will be the greatest choice we ever make.

God is releasing His presence, His power, His glory, so we come into the kingdom and conform to His culture. Psalm 43 says, “Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy;” The Lord is sending Light and Truth to lead us out of Babylon into the kingdom where the culture is exceeding joy. We are in the greatest transfer of kingdoms since Israel left Egypt. I hope you choose to conform to the kingdom culture because it is righteousness, peace and joy and you are going to love it.

One of the tactics of the enemy is boredom. People can be busy but they’re bored. Boredom is the result of not being on adventure with God. We live in a culture that hails independence, self-sufficiency, survival and self-help. It all sounds so good, but the fruit of it is boredom. People are bored, they are not living a great adventure, because they have chose to trust self and not God. Trusting God is the greatest adventure you will ever be on, there is literally no time to be bored when you are truly walking with God.

Living on adventure with God has so many benefits to it, one it causes you to be and feel fully alive even when you are not doing some activity; it produces in you a sense of purpose for your existence on this earth; it gives you hope for what is possible; and it produces a joy in you that circumstances cannot alter. But the most important benefit is it pleases God. Trust is faith and Hebrews 11:6 says “Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is (God) and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” When you trust God that pleases God and His pleasure is what keeps the adventure active every day.

Most people don’t walk by faith, because they are self something in so many ways, but self is not fun, God is fun. We were created for God’s pleasure, the Lord loves doing life with us. It is any wonder Jesus said, “When the Son of Man comes, shall He indeed find faith on earth?” Did you know Jesus is coming to earth looking for faith? Faith is what attracts Christ to us! Faith is the great adventure, because when we live by faith we do life with God and then He brings others around and it is so much fun and full of adventure.

There is nothing boring about the kingdom of God. What is boring is living for ourselves. Making it all about me and me time. You can do that stuff, but I promise you, it is boring. Living by faith, putting yourself in a place when you are not sure how things are going to workout, is not thrill seeking, it is faith walking and it is the greatest adventure you will ever embark on. Try it, I think you will like it, for God is a lot of fun to do life with!

The veil is thin between heaven and earth right now. These are not two distinct locations above us or beneath us, they are inside of us. People are sensing the thin veil inside of them. There is a supernatural desire for God that is pulsating in us, we don’t fully understand it, but we know it is there. Spiritually sensitive people are reaching out spontaneously to others saying, do you want to pray, they are speaking words of life over people and their words are piercing the darkness in the hearer. Souls are being healed from lifelong wounds, minds are being renewed from lifelong faulty wiring and hearts are being healed from word curses. Can you see it? Can you feel it? Can you sense it? It is happening spontaneously and in a variety of places.

The veil inside of us has always been thin, but people are casting off weights and sin that so easily has entangled them (Hebrews 12:1). They can sense the day we are living in is significant. There is a restoration of righteousness that is happening in the hearts of people. We are seeing the manifestation of the enemy being kicked out, not him taking over. Remember when demons left that had to put on a “show” before they would go. I hear in the spirit the words “bye, bye, bye!” The enemy is being evicted not established in our nation and the nations.

What is the Lord inviting us into right now, I believe it is a James 4 invitation, “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” If you will just draw near, you will find Him right there. He is so close right now, He is so present and active in the world right now, He is inviting you to draw near, for He wants to remove the weight of fear so you can carry the joy of the Lord. He is so close, draw near, it will remove your fear and then you will see what He sees and hear what He is saying. It is really good news He is speaking! Draw near.

Being a person that hears the Lord, I have to share what He is saying, now just what I think everyone wants to hear. With that said, I was awakened this morning between 4am and 6am to the sound of a whipping wind blowing so strongly it rattled the house. This is the sound that woke me up, but when I was waking up, I heard “A violent storm is coming, brace for impact.” Immediately the sense came to me, we are going to have to speak life to people when this storm passes for they are going to be shaken.

I went back to sleep and the phrase kept rolling around in my spirit, “A violent storm is coming, brace for impact.” I got up and came to my desk opened my bible and found the place where a violent storm is in scripture. It is in Mark 4:35-41. This is where Jesus said, Let us cross over to the other side, but a violent windstorm arose and waves broke into the boat, but Jesus was a sleep in the stern, so they woke Him us and said, don’t you care that we are perishing? The context of Mark 4 is interesting as well. Four things are mentioned before this storm in Mark 4. One, is the four soils on which the word falls; two is the verse that says “For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.” Third it speaks about the four stages of grain and the immediate harvest and fourth it is a parable about the kingdom of God starting small but becoming huge.

With the context mattering because it says in Mark 4:35, “On that day, when evening came, He said to them, Let us go over to the other side”, the storm happened on the same day Jesus spoke of the four things in Mark 4. So what is the violent storm that is coming of which we need to brace for impact? I am not 100% sure, but it could be an information storm of the like that is going to shock the world; it could be a financial storm; it could be a combination of storms, I am not privy to what the storm will be, but I know I heard, “A violent storm is coming, brace for impact.”

In Mark 4:37 the word violent means, natural events powerfully affecting the senses and storm means throwing everything topsy turvy. I am just sharing what I heard, I cannot add to it or take away from it and honestly I have no more information on it, but wanted to share it with you all. “A violent storm is coming, brace for impact.”

It’s now time! No other narrative. We are in sync and in time right now. This genation, this moment, this is the time for the kingdom of God is manifesting right now in ways we cannot even comprehend. If you try to figure out what God is doing, you are going to get caught in the whirlwind of truth that is happening now. Amos 9:13 (MSG) says, “Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills.” Now time!

Where does this confidence come from that this is true, one, I sense it so strong in the spirit. I know what waiting feels like and things have accelerated significantly. I observe a lot of things, it is my gift, and I see patterns, puzzle pieces and moving parts, it is fun for me, it is how God made me, and it is now time! One other thing that convinced me is when the Lord spoke to me about the Super Bowl and said 1 Chronicles 12:32 “of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command.” Can you see the two teams in this passage, Chiefs (Kansas City) and brethren (Philadelphia)?

The Lord had me dig into this passage by looking up what the name Issachar means, this really spoke to me about the message God is giving us. Issachar means there is recompense. What? I was shocked, that means it is now time for recompense. They, there is recompense, understands the times and know what Israel ought to do. You can’t make this up, the two teams in the super bowl with the same record 16-3 (John 3:16), scored the same amount of points this year, 546 each, and 546 in Strongs means, Truly, Truly or Verily, Verily and they are in this verse. Here is the summary, TRULY, TRULY, I SAY TO YOU, IT IS NOW TIME FOR RECOMPENSE! Thank you Jesus!!!!

Do you trust the Lord or trust the news? I know that is a big question for such an early morning. When we trust a lie we manifest the fruit of the lie. When we trust the One who cannot lie, will not lie, does not lie, we manifest the fruit of truth and trust. Manifestation can be what we say, how we think, what we feel, what we do, what we post, what we repeat, how we respond. Lies will never manifest life, truth will always manifest in life, joy and peace. So let me ask you again, do you trust the Lord and His word or do you trust what you are seeing and hearing on the news?

I have been observing believers, prophets, the church echoing the news and being dragged along by their stories for years now. It is surprising to me how many people can repeat something they heard on the news, but have no idea what God is saying about the days we are living in. It is not surprising though, because it was the same way in the days of Jesus. It is no wonder He and John preached, repent, change the way you think, for the kingdom of God is at hand, it is here, not it is coming, it is here right now! I hear the same message echoing throughout heaven declaring it over the earth, church, repent for the kingdom of God is at hand, it is here right now, repent, change the way you think.

Trusting the Lord means we believe what He says, no matter what the news says, circumstances say, other people say, the crowd says. Trusting the Lord is hard, because most people who call themselves believers don’t trust the Lord, but we cannot let others lack of trust hinder our ability to trust. Psalm 37:34 tells us what the truth is for right now “Wait on the LORD, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.” Those who have been waiting on the Lord not for minutes, but for years are going to inherit the earth and the wicked are being cut off right now as we stand here today. If you trust the Lord you can see it, if you trust the news you can’t see it for they only show you what they want you to see. I pray you would read Psalm 37 today, it is filled with the truth about what is happening right now. The wicked are being cut off and the waiters are inheriting the earth. It is really good news if you can hear it.
