Beloveds, I was spending time with the Lord in the early hours of this morning and I feel that this is what the Lord wants us to become mindful of. Let us truly open up and search our hearts as we read this and let us really press into that which the Lord wants us to be focused on in this season.

Hardened Hearts

“Many of my children have become numbed by circumstances that has hardened their hearts. They have been falling into the trap of the enemy by being swallowed by fear and worries for their future – they have lost sight of Me. Didn’t I say : ” For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future?” (Jeremiah 29:11). Haven’t I said: ” You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart?” (Jeremiah 29:13). They cannot find me because their hearts are far removed from me and their idols that they are using to comfort them has become their focus.

Return

But today I am calling them back! Come, Return – Times of refreshing is at hand! It is time for my people to rise from the ashes and put on a new garment of praise, for I want to do great wonders in their sight. It is time to open up your gates so that My Glory can come in. You need to surrender afresh to Me so that My face can shine upon you and enlighten your spirit, soul and body. When My face shines upon you, darkness will be expelled.

I can only keep moving for you if the eyes of your heart do not lose sight of Me. I cannot keep moving for you where the noise of the world draws you away from who I am, when you start operating in your own strength and trying to figure things out with your cognitive mind. What you focus on you will become conscious of! Where is your mind at?

Disciplined Minds

It is time to become more serious and disciplined in your walk with Me. This will require that you make a decision to either stay in the oppressive mindsets or choose to come into the light and reside there. You are only kept in darkness or light by what you allow yourself to meditate upon. What do you believe?

My Word

I am Your Redeemer and ever present Help in trouble. I will do what I say, but darkness has blinded many to believe that the state they are in is My doing?

It is time to believe what My Word says. My Word is your compass. If you believe with your whole heart, you will be saved. My living waters will flow through My Word and you will be changed when you meditate and apply my Word to your circumstances.

I want to heal your land. Come closer once again and allow My love to touch Your heart. The Lord of Hosts is ready to save. Psalm 80:3 Restore us, O God; make your face shine on us, that we may be saved.

Today, will you choose who or what you will allow to rule over you?”

Beloveds, let us respond to the Lord – even if you are not in this space – let us stand in and cry out to the Lord for our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ that are stuck. If we want to truly walk in our authority in Christ we need to have a different mindset and start walking as overcomers and rule over darkness.

Let us pray: Father, we cry out to You today for ourselves, our families and the body of Christ. We have lost sight of who You are. Our minds are being tormented by the voices of darkness. Our hearts are loving idols. We have learnt a behavior to run to other things that soothes our flesh and not run to You, who are the only Way, the Truth and the Life. Therefore, Father, we have lost the Way, the Truth and the Life. We are weary because we are not drinking from the well of living water. Lord, we repent for all of the above. We repent that we are in this condition because we have allowed ourselves to look and listen to the worlds view of things. We repent for hardening our hearts and blaming You for our condition. Please forgive us Lord. We have gotten so used to running to things that we think brings us comfort but in actual fact we are being swallowed deeper and deeper into a hole of death and depression. Father, today we choose to turn our focus back to You. We know that if we keep going this way it will only lead to destruction. Please turn Your face towards our spirit, soul and body and save us. Father we open up our gates and we welcome You King of Glory – Come in! In Jesus name. Amen and amen
