Let this river flow into your home!

As I was praying for someone who is a beloved of God the other day, I saw a vision of a beautiful, crystal clear river flowing down from the throne of God. This river flowed right into that person's home. 

The Lord then said this vision is also for every beloved of God. So, it's not just for that particular person. But this vision is also for you who are reading this. 

That's when the Lord also said: "My river is bringing healing to your home. My river is bringing restoration to your home. My river is bringing peace to your home. My river is bringing provision to your home. My river is bringing refreshing to your home." 

The Lord said further: "Surrender to Me your sicknesses. Surrender to Me your brokenness. Surrender to Me your strife and disharmony in your home, if there's any. Surrender to Me your lack. Surrender to Me your staleness. Let My river flow right into your life and your home. Receive and drink by faith." 

Yes, beloved of God, receive all that the Lord has spoken today. This river comes from the throne of God. This river is for you and for your home, wherever you are, and whatever situation you may be facing at the moment. 

Have you been going through strife or misunderstanding in your household recently? Have you been going through certain challenges in life recently? Or have you been suffering lack recently? Or maybe you have been going through a difficult situation in your office, at your workplace, or in the ministry. 

Whatever your situation may be, come and receive from this river of God! This river is flowing right now. This river brings healing and restoration. This river brings refreshing. This river brings everything that you ever need in your life. 

We want to go to some Bible verses on the river of God, and what this river brings. 

Let's begin with Psalm 65:9-10. The psalmist wrote: 'You visit the earth and water it, You greatly enrich it; The river of God is full of water; You provide their grain, for so You have prepared it. You water its ridges abundantly, You settle its furrows; You make it soft with showers, You bless its growth.' 

See 'the river of God' here? Whatever your situation may be, I declare that this river from the throne of God has been released upon you, your family, your household, your home! 

Psalm 36:7-9 says, 'How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.' 

Because the Lord loves you, and you are precious in God's eyes, it is God's pleasure to release this river to you. Wherever this river flows, it brings life. 

So, what's your part? The psalmist said here: "Drink from it." Yes, drink and receive by faith! 

Psalm 1:1-3 says, 'Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper.' 

If you read the news recently, there may be some recession happening in some nations of the world. But as for you, beloved, I want to declare upon you, wherever you may be, yes, even in the nation or the nations that have recession: "But you shall drink from this river. You shall still be fruitful. Your leaves shall not wither. And whatever you do shall prosper." Amen! 

Let's move on to Ezekiel now. In Ezekiel 47:7-9, Ezekiel said: 'When I returned, there, along the bank of the river, were very many trees on one side and the other. Then he (a messenger of God) said to me: "This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. And it shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there, for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river goes."' 

This is the river of the glory of God. This is the river of the Holy Spirit. And this river is now here flowing right into your life and your home! 

I know Ezekiel was referring to the temple of God here. But beloved, under the New Covenant, you too are the temple of God. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit. That's what the Scripture says. You are the temple of the Holy Spirit where the Holy Spirit dwells in. Check it out in 2 Corinthians 6:16, 'For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people."' 

Ezekiel 47:12 says, 'Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine (for healing).' 

You see? Your fruit will not fail, in spite of whatever shakings, whether it's economic shakings, recession, slow economic growth, zero economic growth, or negative economic growth.

Let's go all the way now to Revelation 22:1-2. 'And he (an angel of the Lord) showed me (John) a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb (the Lamb of God, Jesus). In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.' 

As you receive from this river, you yield fruit every month. Not once in a long time. Not once in many months. But every month. In other words, every month there's fruitfulness. 

Yes, pray for your nation. Let healing flow into your nation. Not just that. Let healing flow into your household. Let healing flow into the ministry God has given you. Let healing flow into your business. Let healing flow into your career. And of course, let healing flow into your physical health. 

Isaiah 58:11 says, '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.' 

You see, in this river, not only is there healing, restoration, and refreshing; but there is also guidance, wisdom, and revelation. This river has everything you ever need in your life. This river comes from the throne of God. This river is from heaven. The river of the Holy Spirit. This is not like any other river on this earth. This river can never dry up! 

This river is in abundance. This river will continue to flow, as long as you open your heart, receive and drink from it. This river is for you. Amen! 

Last Bible verse of the day. In Isaiah 44:3, the Lord says: "For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring." 

What are the areas in your life that you are 'thirsty'? What are the areas in your life that you suffer lack? By faith, receive this verse. The Lord is filling those lack. And look here. It's not just a trickle of water. It's an outpouring of God's river.

Receive and drink from this water. He is pouring it forth upon you. His Spirit is upon you. His Spirit is upon all that you put your hands on. His Spirit is even upon your offspring, your household, your family, your home. Hallelujah!

5 keys to a happier you!

The Lord says:

"There's a release! There's a release from your past, whatever your past may be! Released from your past bondage! Released from your past hurts! Released from your past bitterness! Released from your past curse! Released from your past cycle! Released from your past trauma! My anointing has been released to you to set you free! Walk in this new cycle! Walk in this new season! This is the time to walk in the new freedom that I've given you!" 

What is the definition of this word 'release'? It can mean 'allow (or enable) to escape from bondage, allow (or enable) to be set free, allow (or enable) someone to move and flow freely'.

Isaiah 61:1-2a (NKJV) says, "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." 

In cross-reference, Jesus quoted this in Luke 4:18-19, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

This word 'anoint' here is 'maschiah' in Hebrew. Literally, this word 'maschiah' can mean 'to rub oil on'. As the oil is being rubbed on you, you are being empowered and enabled. So, 'to anoint' is 'to empower', and 'to anoint' is 'to enable'. Not just that. 'To anoint' is 'to consecrate, to set apart, to make holy'. 

2 Corinthians 3:17 (The Expanded Bible) says, 'The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.' That is to say, 'where the Spirit of the the Lord is, there is this anointing, there is this power of God that sets you free from your bondage'. Therefore, right now, there's freedom for you! You can now walk in this freedom! 

Beloved of God, let this anointing be released upon you right now! This anointing destroys every yoke and bondage in your life. This anointing destroys all those past in your life, so you can now walk in a new phase, a new season, and a new cycle in your life!

John 8:36 (The Expanded Bible) says, 'So if the Son (Jesus) makes you free, you will be truly free [free indeed].' Free to be what? Free to be who God wants you to be, and free to do what God wants you to do in this new time and season!

Galatians 5:1 (The Expanded Bible) says, 'Christ set us free so that we could live in freedom [to a place of freedom, or by means of freedom].' Indeed, it's for this freedom that Christ has set you free! Free to walk in God's destiny for your life! Free to walk in God's plans and purposes for your life! Free to walk in God's perfect will for your life! 

Psalm 119:45 (The Expanded Bible) says, 'So I will live in freedom [liberty], because I want to follow [seek] your orders [precepts].' If you choose to follow the Holy Spirit, and if you choose to follow the instructions of the Lord for your life every step of the way, you are indeed walking in the freedom and liberty that God has for you! So, we are not talking about anarchy here. But we are talking about freedom in the Holy Spirit. Freedom to walk in the ways of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will always lead you and guide you. The Holy Spirit will never lead you into trouble. 

So, whatever your situation may be in your past, you are now set free! By faith, receive this anointing and be set free! As you flow with the Holy Spirit, you are walking in God's perfect will for your life. That's how easy it is to live a life that's in communion and in communication with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in you. And the Holy Spirit will know how to lead you and guide you in the right direction! 

Now, with this freedom that you have, knowing that you have been set free and released for this new season ahead of you, here are the five keys to walk in a happier you, and to enjoy your new season to the fullest! 

Number One: Live in the present moment

Take one day at a time. You can plan ahead. You can plan for your future. But never forget to live in the present moment. Never forget to live in the now. Live today. You can't control your past and your future. But you can make full use of your present moment. So, live in the now. Enjoy your present moment. Learn to appreciate all the good things and the good people around you at present. 

Number Two: Forgive and let go

Let the past be past. Let the bygone be bygone. You have a fresh new start today. And you have wonderful things ahead of you. So, look forward to it. Just do not hold grudges against anyone, whoever that person may be. It's so refreshing and liberating to live a 'let go' life. So, right now, receive God's unending and unfailing love for you. Let His love fill you. And He will know how to help you let go and forgive. 

Number Three: Be thankful and grateful

Be thankful and grateful for what the Lord has given you. Do not compare with others. Each person's path in life is unique and special. The fact is no one else is like you. You are unique and special in God's eyes. So, thank the Lord because He sees you as His beloved, and you are the apple of His eye. Psalm 17:8 says, 'Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings.' The Lord wants to keep you as the apple of His eye. In other words, He sees you dear. He sees you precious. He sees you not how the world sees you. He sees you as His beloved. You are the apple of His eye. Today, the Lord wants to assure you that you are indeed the apple of His eye. Learn to live a life of contentment. You become happier if you are living a contented life. So, be thankful and be grateful for all that the Lord has given to you. And yes, be thankful and grateful in advance for all the good that the Lord is going to give to you!

Number Four: Flow with the Holy Spirit

I cannot emphasize enough how important this key is. Flow with the Holy Spirit. Not against the Holy Spirit. Why? Because the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of joy. One of the fruit of the Holy Spirit is joy. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. You can see that in Galatians 5:22-23. So, receive this joy of the Lord. How? By flowing with the Holy Spirit. Not against the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit's nature is like that of a river. When you flow with the Holy Spirit, like a canoe flows with the river, life becomes easier and life becomes more fruitful. You are flowing with the current of the Holy Spirit. You are not coming against the current of the Holy Spirit. That's the key. Now, when the Holy Spirit gives you peace regarding something or a certain decision you are about to make, you follow the peace. If the Holy Spirit never gives you the peace regarding something, you avoid it. That's how you can walk guided and led by the Holy Spirit. That's how you can avoid certain pitfalls and traps in life. 

Number Five: Start each day with the right focus

What do you think of the first thing you wake up in the morning? If you have the right focus as you wake up in the morning, you already have a head start. Start the day right, and many things will be right. Start the day with your personal time of praise and worship, reading and receiving the Word of God, and praying in the spirit. As you pray in the spirit, the Holy Spirit may even give you ideas and revelations on what to do and how to go about each and every new day. So, the first thing you do when you wake up is remember God and think about Him. Start by focusing on Him. Don't pick up the phone to check news or social media yet. But start with God. Start with personal time of praise and worship. Sing a song from your heart to the Lord. Sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, making melodies in your heart. Sing to the Lord, exalt Him, worship Him, and bless His holy name. Read and receive the Word of God. Eat of His fresh daily bread, the Word of God. Pray in the spirit. Let the Holy Spirit fill you all in all. Let the Holy Spirit fill you with joy. Let the Holy Spirit fill you with love and peace. And that's how you start each day with the right focus. You will surely see the difference! 

Let us pray:

"O Lord God, we thank You that You have released us from our past. We thank You for setting us free from our past bondage, past hurts, past bitterness, past curse, and even past cycle. Right now, we receive Your fresh anointing that sets us free. We begin to walk in this new cycle. We begin to walk in this new season. We begin to walk in this new freedom that You have given us. We can now look forward to many more great and wonderful things ahead of us. In Jesus' name. Amen."

A new cycle is coming!

The Lord says: 

"A new cycle is coming for many of My people in the coming months. This is a season many of My people are seeing a new page turning in their lives. Do not be afraid of embracing the new that I have shown you. Look to Me and put your trust in Me."

The Lord says further:

"For some, I will even show you dreams to guide you and lead you. I will empower and enable you for what is to come. For some, you are moving on from one stage of life to another stage of life. For some, you are transiting into a new venture and opportunity. For some, you are being released from the old cycle into the new cycle that you have not known before." 

There's a cycle and season in everything. When the Lord moves, you move. When the Lord's wave comes, you ride on it, like a surfer. That's how you move on in life. Ride on the wave of the Holy Spirit. Don't get stuck in your past. 

Indeed, there is more coming in your life going forward! Good things I mean. Not bad things. He will give you the grace to embrace the new. He will give you the grace to embrace change. For many people, it's not so easy to embrace change. But sometimes, the Lord leads us to change, so we will not get stuck in life. So, contrary to what some people think, change isn't necessarily bad. Many changes are good. 

Let's go to one example of someone who knew his time and cycle in life. There are many examples in the Bible, of course. But for today, let's look at Elisha. Elisha knew his time. 

2 Kings 2:5-8 (NKJV) says, 'Now the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, "Do you know that the Lord will take away your master from over you today?" So he answered, "Yes, I know; keep silent!" Then Elijah said to him, "Stay here, please, for the Lord has sent me on to the Jordan." But Elisha said, "As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!" So the two of them went on. Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water, and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.' 

Elisha has been faithful in his old cycle. Elisha has been a very keen learner. Elisha has been watching how Elijah did things. But there came a time when a new cycle was about to begin. 

2 Kings 2:9-11 (NKJV) says, 'And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." So he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you. But if not, it shall not be so." That's what Elijah said to Elisha. Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.' 

Here, you see that Elijah's time on earth had been fulfilled. As for Elisha, a new cycle was about to begin. As Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven, a new cycle began for Elisha. Now, we thank God for Elijah. Without Elijah, Elisha cannot be the Elisha that we see in the Scripture. It was from where he was in this old cycle that he moved on into his new cycle. Notice that many things are caught and not just taught. Elisha eventually received his double portion. 

Like Elisha, you too can walk into a new cycle and embrace the new that the Lord has for you. You can cherish the memory of the past. But when the Lord says it's time to move on, you move on. You will never go wrong if you flow with His time and season for you. 

Like Elisha, it's time for you to be who God wants you to be in this new time and season. There is a release right now. Walk in all that the Lord has spoken today. Keep looking to the Lord. He will show you and lead you, every step of the way. Exciting days are ahead of you! 

What's your part? Your part is to stay in tune with the Holy Spirit. Walk with the Lord closely. Continue to eat of His Word and drink of His Spirit. He will know how to lead you, guide you, even give you dreams when you are asleep at night. So, fear not. Because the Lord will always show you before He acts. 

Let us pray: 

"O Lord God, we thank You for Your prophetic words today. Indeed, we want to walk in the new cycle in our lives. We do not want to be afraid of embracing the new that You want to show us. We look to You and put our trust in You. We even ask of You to show us dreams to guide us and lead us. We thank You for a release from the old cycle into the new cycle in our lives. And for this new cycle, You have spoken that it is good. We therefore thank You in advance for the many more great and wonderful things that You are going to show us going forward. In Jesus' name. Amen."
