Tune your hearts to listen to My voice giving you new directions at the strategic crossroads of life.

Stand your ground.

Look up and see the rustling of the Mulberry tree leaves as My majestic train of glory passes by.

Step into the flow of My Spirit.

Reach up and take hold of my train then old on tight for I will cause an acceleration, increase and multiplication that will propel you into a place of glory.

The abundance of My rain has softened the soil to prepare a fertile womb to receive My seed.

I am creating a peaceful strategy for My people to escape the chaos of Egypt.

My presence will remove the spirits of infirmity, poverty and death.

Do not listen to the raging voices of chaos's threats and confusion any longer. My reviving power has come to make you alive to move you to pray and take action that will affect the generations.

Breath in My goodness, grace and blessings, let Me refresh and strengthen you.

Listen for and hear only My voice; there will be no more delays.

Arise and shine, release My sound for it is a sound of glory ringing throughout the earth.

For if you will take action this will be a season of glory, restoration, increase, and power that will build the kingdom of heaven on earth.

Circumcise your ears to hear My gentle voice.

Look to see what the Father is doing and receive a building mantle for kingdom advancement.

Apostolic centers will continue to arise fueled with the five-fold ministry cluster that moves in a unified anointing.

Drink deep of My new wine. Learn to walk in the Spirit of Truth this will equip you to expand the power and sphere of influence of the kingdom of God.

Stand and prophesy the power of My transformational life to the water that is within the blood vessels that stand before you.

Turn the water into wine so that it courses through people's veins.

Let the new wine flow in the valleys until every person has heard My salvation call to arise, springs up, and run to cover the mountaintops, shout aloud "My God Reigns!"

Now is the time to take your places of leadership in every earthly kingdom.

Cleansing Waters

Look to see where the eye of the storm has focused. 

The windows of heaven have opened to pour out the former and latter rains together.

I am pouring out of My Spirit on all flesh for I desire a harvest of souls.

The river of God will rise to your ankles, knees, and loins, until it covers your heads.

Rivers will exceed their boundaries to demonstrate My goodness and overflowing abundance.

"After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth." - Hosea 6:2-3

Forgive others of every transgression to free yourself from the chains of captivity and weights of unforgiveness, as I have forgiven you.

Forgiveness will liberate you to become a deliverer who breaks every captives’ chains.

Let the cleansing waters of My River wash over you to remove the scales and debris that has accumulated on you.

Repent, forgive, release, prophecy the healing and restoration of My people.

IAM making a way of escape that will deliver you from the yoke of iron upon your necks, so that the depths of sin's waters will not sink you, take you down or drown you. 

"And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever."

"Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.

“The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.

"They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the Lord your God has given you. You shall eat the fruit of your own body, the flesh of your sons and your daughters whom the Lord your God has given you, in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you." - Deuteronomy 28:46-53

Don't go into this, "The Year of the Birthing Womb," weighed down with the vain imaginations of the religious Pharaoh spirit.

Pharaoh will rob you of your strength and ability to worship and praise Me.

Repent if you are still self-centered instead of God focused. Free yourself if you are entangled with the worldly spirits of greed, jealousy, control and intolerance.

The bitter roots of judgment are formed by the life-threatening eye of the twisted serpent that will continually blind and poison your vision.

Without a clear vision of My delivering power you will stumble off My intended path of safety to encounter the hypnotic cobra, or fall into the waters where the python spirit of divination will coil around your chest to overtake and drown you in this hour.

Throw down the rod of My Authority so it can swallow up the witchcraft's third-eye-visions of the Python spirit and the mesmerizing Cobra spirit. [Israel Will Be Restored]

"In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong, will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; and He will slay the reptile that is in the sea." - Isaiah 27:1

In 5779, "The Year of the Serpent," let Me remove your scales, twisted iniquities and snake-like-actions, reactions and responses.

"All day they twist my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil." - Psalm 56:5

Whereas in past seasons you would have hissed curses and struck out at others with deadly, venomous fangs full of words of accusation, slander, gossip and destruction.

Now, instead of pointing a critical finger and wagging your proud tongues you will repent and take on My nature of love to pray for the President and people in leadership, friends, families and even love your enemies.

"Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

“Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh?

“Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.

“Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, 'Here I am.' If you take away the yoke from your midst; the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, if you extend your soul to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.

“The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

“Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In." - Isaiah 58:6-12

Dive Deep

Humble yourself and repent so the weighted scales that you have carried, as armor will fall away.

Receive My healing freedom and the glorious anointings of IAM.

Allow My presence to deliver you from the slavery mentality of fear that has held you down in a habitual, routine state of hopelessness.

Cast off disappointment, discouragement and depression. Release the anger that burns within you. 

Blow away the smoke and rinse out the ashes that have blinded your eyes.

Buy of Me eye salve so your eyes will see My provisionary plans, unmatched beauty and glory.

"I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see." - Revelation 3:18

Dive deep into My Word to renew your mind to think higher thoughts and move in My higher ways.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord.

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9

Journey upon the waves of My Spirit, flow with My visionary plans to prosper you in this hour.

"I will visit you and perform My good Word toward you, and cause you to return to this place.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive." - Jeremiah 29:10-14

When you are renewed and transformed My River will cause you to rest in My presence, floating freely as I buoy you up to gently carry you to a new destination.

I have created you to be a brilliant star that shines My light on the higher path.

"The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising." - Isaiah 60:3

Allow Me to light you up with a radiant vision that will draw kings to the radiance of your rising.

"And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." - 2 Peter 1:19

Open up your heart to receive the fullness of My overflowing blessings.

"If you love Me, keep My commandments." - John 14:15

Believe My promises for what I have begun I will complete.

"For you can be confident of this very thing, that I who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ." - Philippians 1:6

The promises I have spoken are now unfolding to reawaken your dreams.

My Spirit has come upon you in a fresh way. Let My love fill, overtake and surround you.

Then pour out My goodness on the fertile souls who are waiting to hear the good news of the gospel.

Let My glory fill the temple of your bodies' house so that the world can see My power and My presence living in and through you.

Look to see what I have done sip, and savor the new wine of My presence, acknowledge and respond to My goodness, value My worthiness with praise, adoration and worship.

Look up and see the Lion of Judah who is fighting your battles for you.

Boast in and give thanks for My saving, healing, and delivering power.

Let the breath of My Spirit fill you to empower you to ride the crest of every wave.

Joyfully master the new opportunities that will position you to be a leader on the cutting edge of kingdom success.

HEARING GOD'S STILL SMALL VOICE - Learning to Listen Large When God Speaks Small - But not only does God speak through His Word, He can speak through sermons, friends, nature as it continually worships the Creator and also through God's still, small voice. After all, if God loves us enough to put His Holy Spirit inside us, I'm sure He meant for us to become human candles burning bright with His presence. So it stands to reason, that a God like ours wants more from us than shopping-list prayers. He not only wants our attention, He wants us to have a listening ear. I would submit that you consider that millions of people can testify that whenever they read the Word, it speaks not only to encourage their faith, but to their personal longings, questions and situations. For example, anyone who has ever read a Scripture, such as, "I can do all things because of Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13) and had it speak directly as a solution to a dilemma, can testify to the power of hearing God's voice.

Hearing God's Still, Small Voice

Learning to Listen Large When God Speaks Small

Linda Evans Shepherd

Can we really hear God's voice?

Some theologians say, "God doesn't promise to talk to us, so therefore, He doesn't."

Oh, really?

May I say this in response?

Dear Nay-Saying Theologian,

Is this reasoning, as stated above, your proof that God no longer speaks to individuals today?

I would submit that you consider that millions of people can testify that whenever they read the Word, it speaks not only to encourage their faith, but to their personal longings, questions and situations.

For example, anyone who has ever read a Scripture, such as, "I can do all things because of Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13) and had it speak directly as a solution to a dilemma, can testify to the power of hearing God's voice.

But not only does God speak through His Word, He can speak through sermons, friends, nature as it continually worships the Creator and also through God's still, small voice.

After all, if God loves us enough to put His Holy Spirit inside us, I'm sure He meant for us to become human candles burning bright with His presence.

So it stands to reason, that a God like ours wants more from us than shopping-list prayers. He not only wants our attention, He wants us to have a listening ear.

Søren Kierkegaard, a Danish Christian philosopher and theologian who lived in the 1800s, once wrote, "A man prayed, and at first he thought that prayer was talking. But he became more and more quiet until in the end, he realized that prayer is listening."

Hearing God's still, small voice is first about learning how to abide in His presence, and while we abide, learning to open a listening ear to His voice just as the prophet Elijah discovered:

“You have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by annihilating them. Will you be delivered? Have the gods of the nations delivered them, the nations that my fathers destroyed, Gozan, Harran, Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Tel Assar? Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?" (2 Kings 9:11-13).

I believe the question God asked Elijah is the same question He whispers to each of us: "What are you doing here?"

The answer should be; we are here abiding in the power of the presence of God as we rely on His direction and leadership in all areas of our lives.

In my book, Experiencing God's Presence, Learning to Listen While You Pray, I lead readers into that place where they not only can consciously abide in God's presence, but hear and recognize God's still, small voice in their lives.

So dear theologian, did Jesus not say to us when He spoke to his beloved disciple John, "Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me" (Revelation 3:20). 

Did Jesus not teach in John 10:27, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me"?

Not only do these Scriptures indicate that God wants to speak into our lives, but they also indicate that we need to learn how to listen.

Christians throughout the ages have learned to hear God's voice, and in so learning, have discovered that their relationship with God can be more: more intimate, more vibrant, more personal and more filled with the sweet presence of Jesus.

In conclusion, dear theologian, while perfecting the art of dissecting faith, don't forget to live it.
