GO DEEPER INTO THE FATHER'S REST

If war has broken out against you -- you may be experiencing extreme heartache and despair. 2023 is a time to go deeper into the Father's rest; for rest is a form of warfare. Be assured: the Lord is fighting your battles, even as you take time to rest in Him. The battle is not yours, but the Lord's (see 1 Samuel 17:47).

Keep your eyes on the Lord. Feast on His goodness, and know that even now your Redeemer is preparing a table of feasting for you in the very presence of your enemies (Psalm 23:5).

As it is written in Psalm 24:9, "Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in." The Lord is rising on your behalf, and your victory is certain!

Align your thoughts and your words with the promises of the Lord. Prophesy to the dead bones -- "Come alive," for He is about to change everything. The areas of your greatest disappointments will soon be flooded with new life. Your breakthrough is near! Stand still, and see the salvation of your God (see 2 Chronicles 20:17).

Watch as He crowns you with a crown of beauty and washes away despair.

WHEN BITTERNESS CLOUDS YOUR HOPE: FROM MARA TO JOY

WHEN BITTERNESS CLOUDS YOUR HOPE “Do not call me Naomi,” she replied. “Call me Mara,because the Almighty; has dealt quite bitterly with me. -Ruth 1:20(BSB) (20b Naomi means pleasant . 20 c Mara means bitter.) Naomi lost everything—her husband, her sons, her sense of purpose. She renamed herself Mara, meaning bitter, because that’s how deep the sorrow ran. And yet, even in her brokenness, she didn’t walk alone. God was already preparing redemption, even when she couldn’t see it. Beloved, grief may change your story, but it doesn’t cancel God’s promises. Even in the bitterness, He is moving. Your heart won’t stay Mara forever—joy is on the way! Stay hopeful! PRAYER POINT:  Abba Father, You see the places in me that have gone bitter. Thank You that You don’t leave me there. Restore hope where sorrow has settled.  AMEN.

HEALING FLOWS THROUGH HUMILITY

HEALING IN HUMILITY AND OBEDIENCE  And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? 2 Kings 5:13 (KJV) Naaman wanted a grand miracle, not a dip in a dirty river. Sometimes pride hides in our expectations of how God should move. Healing didn’t come through status or power, but through humility. The greatest breakthroughs often begin with surrender. Beloved, don’t let pride keep you from the healing God is offering. Even if the way feels small or strange, trust Him. The answer you need may come through unexpected obedience. PRAYER POINT:  Lord, teach me to obey even when I don’t understand. Break down my pride so I can receive all that You have for me. Let humility lead me into Your healing in Jesus’ name.  AMEN.

When Doubt Feels Safer Than Hope – Finding Faith Again in Christ

WHEN DOUBT FEELS SAFER THAN HOPE  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. John 20:25 (KJV) Doubt doesn’t always come from rebellion—it often comes from pain. Thomas had believed and hoped once. But after seeing Jesus crucified, he decided the safest thing to do was to stop hoping altogether. Sometimes, when the heart has been wounded, it feels easier not to believe at all unless you see! Does this resonate with you? Beloved, Jesus is not offended by your doubts. He meets you right where you are, gently offering proof of His love. Your doubt isn’t the end of the story—it might just be the place where faith can begin again. Seek Him and hear His voice.   PRAYER POINT:  Lord Jesus, I bring You the parts of me that struggle with my faith. Meet me with mercy as You did wit...
