Fine Tuning
You have the radio, you have sound. Now take the dial and fine tune so you hear it clear. Without any disturbance.
You hear ME - now listen intently so there is clarity. So, you understand exactly what is being said.
Psalm 85:8 New Living Translation
8I listen carefully to what God the Lord is saying,
for he speaks peace to his faithful people.
But let them not return to their foolish ways.

Awareness
Listen - Use all of your senses to see me. As you draw closer and closer to me - you will see, hear, feel, smell and taste the new. New realms will be opened to you.
As you get to know me more - you will hear me in the wind, you will see me in the sky, you will smell me in the forest, you will taste me by the sea. You will feel my presence around you where ever you go.
You will enter a room that you have been into many times, but something will catch your eye - it will be a reflection on a wall from the sun shining in. Pockets of wonder.
You will be outside, and a butterfly lingers - you will just 'know' I am there.
You hear beautiful music that makes you stop and want to hear more.
You pass a bakery, and the smell draws you in.
An unusual gust of wind catches your breath.
You see fresh ripe berries - you pick one and it tastes delicious.
You see and hear rain drops fall and it mesmerises you.
You smell the freshness of new rain and its rejuvenating.
You hear the waves smash on the rocks and it is powerful - exhilarating.
Someone gives you a gift when you are not expecting it and it warms your heart.
You may be feeling lonely - then an animal comes close to you.
Listen for me, look for me - I am everything good. Pay attention - be aware so you see and hear me. I have you in the palm of my hand. I am near. Never fear.
Ecclesiastes 12:14
For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude.

Rope
I see a picture of a dingy in the water - it is not tied. There is rope tied to the bow of the boat, but the rest is drifting in the water. There are no oars or outboard motor. No sails. There is someone in the boat and they are motionless. Exhausted, bewildered and past caring.
I believe this is a picture of many who are drifting, being tossed to and fro by the wind with no anchor.
The rope signifies a connection to ME says the Lord.
How can you expect to feel secure if you don't pick up that rope out of the water? You can do something about it. How do you expect to see me or hear me if you don't listen for me or seek me? Why are you sitting in the boat and letting it drift anywhere? Why are you letting yourself be at risk? Why are you letting the waves slap you around?
I need you to pick up the rope and tie your boat - to be secure in me. Only you can do that. You have to be willing. You need to know what you are anchored to. Pick up that rope - connect with me. Pick up that rope - connect with me. Whispers -I love you..........pick up that rope..........connect with me.
How can you know me when you are just drifting and not caring? Seek me. Tie that rope. Come to me with repentance and honestly desire a change in your life for the good. I will take care of you and look after you. I will not let you down. Yes - you have been let down. I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. It is my promise to you and my promises are true.
You will then feel secure. You will feel like a new YOU. You will ask and you will see me move in your life and of those around you. You will see goodness and purity. You will see flowers where they once never bloomed. You will see water where there was once no water. You will see hope where there once was never hope. You will see ME.
Psalm 19:7
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.
Psalm 34:8
Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
Nahum 1:7
The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

10 Commandments
The Ten Commandments were written by God upon two tablets of stone and then given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The record of the Ten Commandments can be found in the Bible, both inExodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21.
1And God spake all these words, saying,
3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
14Thou shalt not commit adultery.
16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

All things NEW
I make all things new. New, new, new. Can you feel it? Can you see it? Change, change, change.
It is time for you to see through your spirit. Look not with your natural eye.
Listen for ME. Hear ME. I am there, I am everywhere. I am in your pain, I am in your heart, I am in your fears, I am in your mind. I am in the wind, I am in the sea, I am in the sky.
Without a doubt - you can TRUST ME. I am Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Rapha.
Look to ME. I will not let you down.
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN

Tight hold
I was standing at the open door looking outside - I sensed in the spirit - Jesus taking hold of my hand and squeezing it tight. It was as if he was saying "I've got you". Don't worry - He has us in his hands. He has a good grip and won't let us go. And we are not to worry. We are to feel safe in His hands. He will protect us and look after us. Don't be shaken by the truths that are coming out. God has a tight hold of you.

OFF Balance
I have a picture of a person wobbly on their feet. They are unable to stand up straight.
This represents a confusion - things won't make sense.
You have been deceived - The World has deceived you.
"Fear not - I will sustain you" saith the Lord.
Trust ME
Everything is turning up side down.
You will feel bewildered - distraught, confused - unstable. What you believed was right - will have no might.
It will be for a very short time.
Once you start to see that I AM IN THESE CHANGES, you will feel free and BE FREE.
Beyond measure.

As you soak in my presence -
As you listen in my presence -
As you bathe in my presence -
As you get to know me more in my presence -
I will open the NEW- new ideas, new plans, new realms.
I will direct and I will lead. I will guide and I will transform. You will become all that I have desired for you, and you will marvel in my glory. Your heart will be overflowing with joy, love and hope,
You will look back at your former self and think WHAT? How good is the Lord God Almighty!
Yes - this is for you, you, you and you.

Glass Jar
A couple of nights ago while trying to get to sleep, I saw an image in my mind.
People standing inside a glass jar. God was shaking the jar. His hand had hold of the top of the jar and he shook it. The people did not fall down - but were disheveled.
Get ready people.

Intimate
For I am an intimate God. You will see how I can change your life.
I am personal and I know every cell of your body. I know what every cell does. I know every thought you have, I know every movement you do. I know your fears, I know your pain and I know your joy. I know why you think like you do and I know how you respond to what you think. I know when you are sad and when you are angry. I know when you hate. I know every wrinkle, every heartbeat and every scar. I know when you are tired, and when you feel vulnerable. I know everything.
My heart is for you - not against you. I have guidelines like any parent. They are to keep you from pain and confusion. I have laws but these laws are to protect you. My laws are not given to restrict you - but to lead you and guide you. These are laws of love, covenants between you and I. Embrace my ways and you will see the divine path I have for you. I see you as you strive to go about your ways. But your ways are not My ways. Follow Me. As my ways are perfect and sincere and loving. Trust Me. Seek Me. Know Me and you will see. Your eyes will be opened to My Glory.
Stop resisting. I know your heart - take that step and come closer to me. I am an intimate God. Come, move away from that which is holding you back. Choose life. Choose ME. Choose to come. Take that step forward - don't look back.
I have gifts, wonders, dreams, visions, talents, hopes and desires to give to you. I have new passions - Godly passions. I see your heart. You desire to do that which you know deep down is right. I have been speaking to you for many years. You know what to do. You know that I am real, and I LOVE you. You know I AM that I AM. You just need to move - I am a patient God and you know that I am - as you see now I have never left you or forgotten you. I have always been by your side. I am calling you to new heights. I will give you the strength and I will give you the ability to do that which I have called you to do. Do not worry about your ability to do so as it is I who will give you all that you need.
The eye has not seen, nor the ear heard what I have in store for you. You are seeing this today because I am speaking to you. It is no accident you came upon this. This word is for you. Come.

Discern
Every day when you wake, come before Me. There are so many distractions. There are so many issues.
Come before Me in quietness. All those things that you feel are urgent to pay attention to are distracting you. Calibrate yourself at the start of the day. Calibrate - reset. Sit, stand, kneel or lay before me. Recognise that I Am the one who brings order and I have your day in my hand.
Don't distract yourself with tasks or problems. First and foremost - come before ME. I will ground you, I will give you the strength. I see your desire to fix things. You are doing it in your own strength. Sit before me. Pull all those things going around in your mind back to stillness. Come before ME. Recognise that I am in control.
Recognise that I do have tasks and I have given you abilities, but you must rest in meat the start of the day. Give me your full attention. Discern.
My spirit will minister, and I will supernaturally give you the ability, strength and power.

Bride of Christ
The Church as the Bride in Ephesians 5:22-33:
The Church is called the Bride of Christ and Christ is declared the Head of the Church, His Bride. As individual believers and as the Church we have an intimate relationship with Christ. This is a relationship that is closer than an earthly husband and wife relationship.
The Church as the Bride in Revelation 21:9-11:
As the corporate Church we are the Bride of Jesus, who is the Groom. But we are here called the Bride of Jesus, who is the Lamb. Jesus is not only the Groom but He is also the Lamb Who gave His life for our salvation.

Supermarkets - will become churches
In my prayer time this morning I was led to pray for neighbourhood greengrocers and butchers to open up. I then prayed 'Supermarkets will become churches'. To explain myself in more detail - the words just came out of my mouth, and I thought to myself "what did I just say?" They weren't my words.
Over some time now - a year or so I have felt the Lord say that these things will open up. However, I have never heard Him say supermarkets will become churches.
It all made sense to me then. I have learned lately of the future plans of the enemy to control food and who can buy it - when and where.
This all made sense to me. It is so exciting.
Watch and see what the Lord does. People are going to flock to the Lord when they know what the enemy has done and planned. The supermarkets will carry a lot of the overflow the present churches cannot take in.

First
My children, you must seek me. You must draw aside, every day, every first part of the day. You must sit in silence and wait and let me speak to you. These days are so difficult for you. You see and hear all around you, things that don't make sense or things that hurt, harm and make you sad, confused and bewildered.
One sure thing is that you can spend time with ME. I will protect, I will speak, I will whisper, and I will comfort, and I will be here for you. Don't let the world distract you. It is going to become worse; it is going to become so bewildering you will feel like you have no grounding. Do not worry - I have given you my spirit, He will keep you in perfect peace. You must take the time every single day and the first part of the day. When your foot reaches the ground - when you get out of bed, go to your quiet place.
Put me first. If you do this - you will not be distracted or find the waves of sadness overcome, you. Remember what I have said, things must be revealed, and the truth must come out. You must ground yourself in ME EVERY DAY AND THE FIRST PORTION OF THE DAY. Then the waves will not overcome you. I am bringing clarity, and I am bringing truth, and I am bringing my GLORY. I will whisper in your ear, and I will walk with you through every minute of the day, even every second of the day. See me right beside, inside and all around you. Talk with me, I am here. These are unusual times that require supernatural means. I am supernatural. My spirit is supernatural. Walk as though you have the ultimate King of Glory on the inside because that is what is actually real and true. Do not FEAR, I repeat. DO NOT FEAR. I am with you. I will sustain you; I will strengthen you and I will empower you. You must spend that time with me in the first portion of the day. Because the enemy is cunning, and he will distract you and he will grab you and lead you and speak lies to you. PUT ME FIRST in all things and you will not go astray.
Isaiah 26:3 — The New International Version (NIV)
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.
Psalm 107:28-31
Yet when they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, the Lord brought them out of their distress. He calmed the storm and its waves quieted down. So they rejoiced that the waves became quiet, and he led them to their desired haven.

GLORY
There was once a little girl and a little boy. They were born into a world. They grew and grew. They became part of this world and believed all that was told to them. They put their trust in the leaders and the teachings of the day. They put their trust in believing that people of that world, had their best interests at heart. They put their trust in history. They put their trust in science. They put their trust in governments. They put their trust in food. They put their trust in medicines. They put their trust in famous people. They put their trust in what was told to them in the news. They built their lives around these core beliefs.
Overnight they awakened to have all their trusts and core beliefs come crashing down before them. They saw the hypocrisy and the lies. They saw the pain and horror that had been done to multitudes of people and children. They stood there in unbelief. They stood there not knowing which way to run or go. They stood there totally bewildered and totally dumfounded. They could not move.
God saw their pain and came rushing to hold them up. He came rushing to carry them and to be ALL and everything to them. He came to their rescue, and he came with such a force they felt like they were floating. They felt like they were light as air and were lifted up to high places, but their feet were still on the ground. He took all of their pain, and he took all of their confusion. He replaced it with his glorious presence. He replaced it with HIMSELF. He replaced it with His GLORY.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding.
6in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
You said, ‘Behold, the Lord our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire; we have seen today that God speaks with man, yet he lives.
Personal note: this was a very moving 'word' to post. I have known for quite some time - just waiting on the right time to post it. I woke on the 15th and knew it was time. I felt a heaviness, I thought "oh Lord" I do not know how to post this. He showed me how to write it like a story.

For I the Lord am bringing new perfume
I have a picture in my mind of a cake of soap. The smell is divine. It is so beautiful, real and glorious. It is heavenly. The smell alone makes me forget about everything. It rejuvenates, it transcends, it opens new realms. New. New. New.
July 20 2023
My Essence
1. Gentle inspiring music
2. Focus
3. Wait
For as you wait for words to come out of someone's mouth not knowing what they are going to say - wait for ME. Do not presume my words, do not conjure up what I will say. Wait for me to speak, wait for me to minister. Wait for me to impart, wait for me to talk. Wait for the ESSENCE of what I am going to say.

Marinate in my Presence
"Linger, soak, bathe, immerse, steep, saturate, drench, drown,
I am calling you to go deeper. Oh, I have so much more for you. You access this through spending time with ME."
A few nights ago, I woke to this picture of someone looking at their face and hands with wonder. They marvel at the transformation. They are not the same.
Be hungry for this change because it is yours just waiting for you. Marinate in the presence of the Lord and His Word. Hear it, read it, pray it, declare it.

Effervescence
God is about to do something so wonderful - glorious, So beautiful we cannot even comprehend it. There are no words to describe it. He loves us so much. He is coming with open arms and with such compassion and love. He is coming to rescue us.
If you need to repent - repent now.
Mark 1:15
“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

Ask for the NEW
Don't compare your life, giftings, abilities to anyone. Don't limit ME or yourself. Open up to ME to receive all that I have for you. Open the door to receive the new.
The peacock is first mentioned in the Bible in the time of Solomon. He used to send his vessels to distant countries, and they came back once in three years, bringing gold, and silver, and ivory, and apes, and peacocks. Solomon was the richest among all the kings that the Bible tells us about. When he first became king God spoke to him in a dream and told him to ask for anything he wished. If God should speak so to you, what would you ask for?
The biblical meaning of a peacock is often associated with beauty, resurrection, and immortality.
In the Bible, the peacock is widely mentioned and referred to as the “royal bird”, as it was a symbol of spiritual aspirations and victory over evil.
In the Old Testament, the peacock symbolizes the glory and majesty of God, as well as the promise of eternal life and resurrection.
In the New Testament, the peacock represents the heavenly beauty of the risen Christ and the power of His victory over death.
The peacock is also a symbol of faithfulness and fidelity, and it is often seen as a sign of renewal and resurrection.
Its green and blue feathers represent hope and joy, while the multiple eyes on its tail feathers remind us of God’s ever-watchful eye.
The peacock is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a promise of something beautiful and new.

Deeper
For I the Lord am calling you deeper. Deeper into my presence. A depth you have never known. You will walk with me like I am physically right by your side. You will look into my eyes and know direction and you will have knowledge without words spoken. I am drawing you; I am drawing you; I am drawing you. Deeper, deeper, deeper. My presence will be all around you. You will ask for instruction and guidance right down to the tiniest little thing - and I will answer.
Keep surrendered, keep listening, keep soft. Keep open to hear my voice, keep learning, keep praying. Keep humble, keep loving. Keep trusting ME.

Psalm 91 New International Version
1Who ever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
3Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
9If you say, “The Lord is my refuge, "and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
12they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14“Because he[b]loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Incapsulate (To enclose completely) meaning of enclosed (surrounded or closed off on all sides)
For it is expedient that you spend more time with ME. Yes, you are close to me, yes - you have your prayer time and feel my presence. However, I am drawing you even closer, deeper, immerse all of your day in me. Immerse your whole self in ME.
Stay in my presence throughout your day and as you go to sleep stay in that mindset. Carry me throughout your day and night. It is my desire that you linger and drench. Wrap ME around your day and night. I will speak to you in your day, and I will speak to you in your night. It is my desire that you linger constantly.
You will marvel how I speak. You will feel exuberant and ecstatic. Stay in my presence - so deep so you are sured up, strong, sturdy, surrendered, to hear my voice, my will, my love and my heart for you. Withold nothing. Give me your all so you can receive all that I have for you, so you can be a light for others. A beacon. A lighthouse.
Psalm 139 The Voice Bible translation A song of David.
1O Eternal One, You have explored my heart and know exactly who I am.
2You even know the small details like when I take a seat and when I stand up again.
Even when I am far away, You know what I’m thinking.
3You observe my wanderings and my sleeping, my waking and my dreaming,
and You know everything I do in more detail than even I know.
4You know what I’m going to say long before I say it.
It is true, Eternal One, that You know everything and everyone.
5You have surrounded me on every side, behind me and before me,
and You have placed Your hand gently on my shoulder.
6It is the most amazing feeling to know how deeply You know me, inside and out;
the realisation of it is so great that I cannot comprehend it.
7Can I go anywhere apart from Your Spirit?
Is there anywhere I can go to escape Your watchful presence?
8If I go up into heaven, You are there.
If I make my bed in the realm of the dead, You are there.
9If I ride on the wings of morning,
if I make my home in the most isolated part of the ocean,
10Even then You will be there to guide me;
Your right hand will embrace me, for You are always there.
11Even if I am afraid and think to myself, "There is no doubt that the darkness will swallow me,
the light around me will soon be turned to night,”
12You can see in the dark, for it is not dark to Your eyes.
For You the night is just as bright as the day. Darkness and light are the same to Your eyes.
13For You shaped me, inside and out.
You knitted me together in my mother’s womb long before I took my first breath.
14I will offer You my grateful heart, for I am Your unique creation, filled with wonder and awe.
You have approached even the smallest details with excellence.
Your works are wonderful; I carry this knowledge deep within my soul.
15You see all things; nothing about me was hidden from You
As I took shape in secret, carefully crafted in the heart of the earth before I was born from its womb.
16You see all things; You saw me growing, changing in my mother’s womb.
Every detail of my life was already written in Your book.
You established the length of my life before I ever tasted the sweetness of it.
17Your thoughts and plans are treasures to me, O God! I cherish each and every one of them!
How grand in scope! How many in number!
18If I could count each one of them, they would be more than all the grains of sand on earth. Their number is inconceivable!
Even when I wake up, I am still near to You.
19I wish You would destroy all the wicked, O God.
So keep away from me, those who are thirsty for blood!
20For they say such horrible things about You,
and those who are against You abuse Your good name.
21Is it not true that I hate all who hate You, Eternal One?
Is it not true that I despise all who come against You?
22Deep hatred boils within me toward them;
I am Your friend, and they are my enemies.
23Explore me, O God, and know the real me. Dig deeply and discover who I am.
Put me to the test and watch how I handle the strain.
24Examine me to see if there is an evil bone in me,
and guide me down Your path forever.

Report
(I woke one morning recently, and these 5 words were loud and clear. I have waited on the Lord for His discernment. It is for all of us. "Whose report do you believe"?
Say my words, speak my words out loud. Over and over again. Go into combat with your words. Speak my words over your life, over every circumstance. Speak life. Move into all that I have for you. You will transcend (go beyond - surpass) into a place of victory.

Clutter
My children, you must clear the clutter to be able to walk to your destination. You know those things that are consuming your mind and your day. You must simplify your life to be able to hear ME more clearly and to reach ME. Those things that I have been speaking to you about and you are finding it hard to let go. I will replace those things with much greater and more rewarding gems. I know it is difficult for you, but I have given you the strength and ability, you just need prompted. I am here to prompt you. Clear that hallway and come to ME in a straight line. Get rid of those distractions that are keeping you from ME. They are keeping you from walking closer to me. DECLUTTER. And do it promptly. I am a loving kind God; I am doing it for your good. Let those things go. They are only distracting you from what is most important. Which is ME.
Psalm 119:37
Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word.

Come
Come - I am calling you. I am all you need. I will restore, I will heal, I will look after you. As you seek me and surrender to me - you will hear my voice more and more. Make me your foundation. A solid rock.
John 10:27-30
27My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.28I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.29My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.30I and the Father are one.”
Matthew 7:24-27 New Living Translation
Building on a Solid Foundation
24“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.25Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.26But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.27When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash.”
We need to press in like never before. Sooner rather than later. Now. Seek Him and spend more and more time with Him. Build our foundation on HIM.

Calm
Personal note: In my teenage years, one of my favourite places to ride was under/through a canopy of trees. Even today: I always feel a sense of calm and peace when I think of that time. The trees were pine, and the smell was so good.
You too will probably have a place of calm and peace, and the Lord is bringing it to your mind now.
Be mindful that He knows everything about you. He remembers things that you have forgotten over the years. He has orchestrated paths in your past. He is orchestrating paths for you now, and is orchestrating paths for your future.
As often as you can - remember this special place or places. They have a purpose. God is bringing this to mind because HE has deposited something very special to get you through difficult times. He is your strength.
He wants to individualise those times so you can see HIS works in your life. They were not times of chance. You are body mind (soul) and spirit. God ministered to your spirit in this place. You did not understand at the time, but your spirit did. He wants to highlight your "spirit".
Keep in His word and keep in His presence. He is your rock. Your Salvation.
Psalm 62:5-12 New International Version
5 Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. 6 Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge.
Psalm 33:8 New Living Translation
Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him
