Talking with Father last week I was praying for a friends and others in His family that have been struggling one way or another. At the same time, I am aware that many of us have also been in a serious time of preparation. Embracing the journey; albeit just hanging on in there at times!
Then Holy Spirit spoke to me with this scripture: Song of Solomon3:9
'Of the wood of Lebanon, Solomon the King made himself a PALANQUIN having silver pillars with gold supports. It's seat was purple, it's interior paved with LOVE by the daughters of Jerusalem.'
In those days, a palanquin was simply a mode of transport, carried by servants. The 'important' person would be completely shut away inside, choosing to look out, if they so wished.
What God was showing me, was that He has been 'panlanquining' his sons and daughters. Causing them to 'shut themselves in' with just Him. No distractions! This enabling them to drink freely from His heart, receiving His love, getting to know Him more intimately; learning how to live 'from above' walking with Father day by day. Knowing, without doubt, that we belong exclusively to Him.
By being 'shut in' our hearts are enlarged! We see more clearly His plans, His purposes, His heart for ourselves and for the world.
In my mind I could visualise how Solomons palanquin looked. Must have been very beautiful with the silver, gold and purple. Then, it says, 'It's interior paved with LOVE by the daughters of Jerusalem'. And that's exactly how our interiors need to be, paved with love, His love.
Then I could see myself in a palanquin. Wherever it went I could be 'shut in' with Him. Wherever I travelled, once I knew how to be 'shut in' nothing else mattered. I was fully protected, in some places, completely unseen by people! But living and moving from an amazing place of oneness, releasing ALL that He choose to impart, to give, to shift, to change, to heal and to raise from the dead!
Exciting days ahead! Seeing and doing whatever Father is showing us. John 5:19

RAISE YOUR GAZE!
This morning I woke up to hear the birds singing and with Psalm 34 upon my heart. This psalm of David is headed 'Seek the Lord' in my bible.
'I will bless the Lord at ALL times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth'
I was sensing that many are finding this difficult in their current circumstances. There are questions that don't seem to be answered, they are struggling through pain and prayer, at times wondering where the hec God is? Prayers have been consistent, but as yet.....the answer has not arrived. The manifestation of promises, seems to be dragging its feet!
So, what do we do in those circumstances? When there's such a battle between our hearts and minds. When 'blessing the Lord at ALL times' seems so difficult; when our hearts feel so heavy. When we KNOW the JOY of the Lord is our strength and yet our 'couch is watered with tears' Psalm 6:6
We purposely 'RAISE OUR GAZE' we continue to look to Him. Our communion with Heaven maybe just an occasional 'thank you' throughout the day. (This has been a personal experience)
Verse 3: 'O magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together.'
Grab a few worshipful friends together, begin to gaze upon Him; REST in His presence. See what He is saying about your circumstances. Love on one another as a family should, as He intended.
'The praise of one Christian is accepted before God as a grain of incense, but the praise of many is like a censer full of frankincense, wafting its smoke before the Lord'. Charles Spurgeon
Let HOPE arise....
Verse 15: 'The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry'
Verse 19: 'Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of them all'
Whatever our circumstance, whatever our situation, this I know; that He is our Deliverer, He is our Hope, He is our Father and HE HAS got this! 💕

THERE'S A FRESH WIND COMING!!
I see glimpses of a new era.
There is a restless wind, a fresh wind, a stirring happening. Watching the trees from my window, I see the wind causing them to bend and bow down, they're losing leaves and the 'twig' like branches; their roots going deeper into the earth that they stand on.
This fresh wind is blowing away all the old stuff!!
Fresh oil, fresh flowers, fresh bread are some of the fragrances I've had the pleasure of receiving this week. Reminding and confirming to me about the NEW that Father wants to release, both personally and corporately.
Sadly I saw many hanging on to the 'good old days', a 'this is the way we do it!' mentality. Fearing the change, some unsure of His love, His leading, His Fathering. Trust Him.....it's all good.
This fresh wind is bringing what we haven't experienced before. It's encouraging sons and daughters to come forward, to blossom, to bloom, to step out of the boat, to be brave! To rise up on Eagles wings and soar! And to BELIEVE again that what He has said, He will do!
Isaiah 43:19

05-05-15 - MAY'S ABUNDANCE
Waking early this morning to the sound of birds singing, then opening the curtains to see the Cherry blossom, like confetti, being blown all over the garden, I was reminded of one of the words that God gave me regarding the month of May, during my time in the Czech Republic.
The month of MAY is a month of HEALING. Physical healings manifesting! I could see many of Gods children struggling to hang on to His promises, the prophetic words, words of encouragement, as day by day, the manifestation of their healing hadn't been seen.
He showed me that He is using the journeying of their lives and the situations they've encountered, as a means to reveal Himself, His character, His heart to them. I want to encourage anyone in these circumstances to continue to give Him thanks until your healing has manifested and is complete 💕
Also, today is the 5th day of the 5th month 2015.
Five being the number of Grace- Grace, Grace, abundance (10:10) and Grace. Just sensing an increase of the awareness of His presence about today too!
At the beginning of the year God said to me that this year many will receive 'DOUBLE FOR THEIR TROUBLE.' Isaiah 61:7 says: 'Instead of your shame you shall have DOUBLE honour. And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land, they shall POSSESS DOUBLE. Everlasting joy shall be theirs.'
I could see double (two houses) on people's land. Double portions released to those walking intimately with Him, such an abundance, that there was plenty to give away! (Reminded me of Acts 2 when no one was in need). Sons & daughters - Kingdom mindsets 😍
I also sensed that many were feeling almost embarrassed regarding their 'lack' of healing. So many have received so much prayer and ministry that they have been seriously thinking about giving up!
Discouraged, with the enemy slithering around, hissing, 'Did God say?' Have sown seeds of doubt into many hearts. But....God ALWAYS has the last word! He will bring what He has promised, trust Him.
This morning as I woke up to the birds singing; drawing back the curtains, I saw beautiful Cherry blossom being blown about by the wind all over the garden. It looked like confetti and reminded me of a wedding; and that WE are being prepared for our beloved 💕

DEBORAH'S ARISING!
'Until I, Deborah, arose,
Arose a mother in Israel.' Judges 5:7
I was drawn to this scripture yesterday, as I was spending 'time out' with God. He was showing me that the Deborah's are rising! Deborah's with a Mother's Heart and a soldier's strength.
Read the account of Deborah in the book of Judges; she was a great woman of destiny. Called by God as the only female judge in Israel. She had the ability to HEAR, and the COURAGE to ACT, upon what God said.
I love how she reminds Barak of what the Lord had said, (Judges 4:6/7) when it was time for Israel to stand up to King Jabin. We read that Barak refused to go to war without Deborah, so she went to war with him, revealing to him God's strategy for victory.
In the same way, today, God is raising up and releasing women, like Deborah with a prophetic voice, strength, discernment for battle with a courageous heart!
Currently, I am in the Czech Republic and Father is showing me some things to come; we are in the most amazing days. Many people, also, are praying here regarding the information we are receiving concerning the enemies of God; invading and slaughtering innocents in the nations. But....God has a plan! The Deborah's of God are coming forth, leaning upon their beloved, listening to Him, being obedient to His strategies and releasing the love of the Father to the nations.
Psalm 2 says, 'Ask ME' God says, 'and I will give you the NATIONS as your inheritance'.
Let's be 'ASKERS' 💕
God was also reminding me of a time whilst in Europe in 2009 when I received an open vision.
He showed me a LOVE ARMY travelling across Europe (more details in a previous blog and in my book 'All Things') this army had no guns, because what they carried, was so much more; Immeasurable! They were Supernaturally empowered 💕
I encourage you today, to remember what God has said to YOU, personally. Remember the dreams and visions He has given to you. He has NOT forgotten them. Bring them into prayer again, into conversation again, BELIEVE what He has said and joyfully see them come to pass.
Glory to God! He is simply 'The best dad in the whole world!' Rick Pino song 😍

APRIL - SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS
This morning when I awoke, the Lord reminded me of a picture I had seen on face book. I will put it on my page today. It's a picture of a shower of rain falling on coloured umbrellas. He said that this month, in particular, we will see 'showers of blessings.' Like little kisses from heaven 💕
It's important that we take the time to position our hearts to receive; to drink in, to absorb the rain.
Then I was reminded of the scripture Joel 2:23
'Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God; for He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come for you - the former rain, and the latter rain, in the first month.'
The Life Application Bible interprets this as:
'For the rains he sends are an expression of His grace, once more the autumn rains will come aswell as the spring rains.'
I see showers, outpourings of blessings of abundance on God's children as we continue to receive and to soak in His presence. 💕

RIBBONS, BUTTONS AND BOWS!
Over the last twenty four hours, I keep seeing the most gorgeous colourful ribbons, bows and beautiful buttons. Earlier today whilst sharing this with a friend, I sensed the Lord saying that a further upgrade is imminent! One of my thoughts was, in times gone by only ladies with considerable means, would have worn dresses, jackets, hats and coats with beautiful buttons and bows upon them. But, Our Father, chooses for us, ALL of us, to receive these ribbons, buttons and bows upon our clothing. And not just the ladies! He is clothing us, in the most gorgeous apparel.
Then tonight, I'm drawn to read the book of Esther, where she was prepared and made ready to meet her future husband, King Ahasuerus. We read in the fifth chapter, that Esther put on her royal apparel and stood in the inner court of the King's palace, there the King notices her; holds out the golden scepter that was in his hand; he is so pleased to see her and goes on to offer her half of his kingdom!
I'm sensing somewhere in all this, ENLARGEMENT is happening! We have, and are, being prepared for 'such a time as this' just as Esther was, in order to bring about the plans and purposes of heaven. The transference of wealth is coming and His sons and daughters will not be dressed as paupers scratching around to make ends meet!
Personally, this past week I have seen so many confirming signs and wonders as Father brings about His glorious plans and presence into the hearts of His children.
For those becoming a bit weary in all this process, chin up! Be open to what He says and how He is leading. Maybe spend some extra time with Him this week, deepening intimacy......
AND.....enjoy the upgrade of ribbons, bows and buttons!
For some, things will be coming to a close, a buttoning up. Others, an un buttoning, a release into the NEW that He has been speaking to you about.
I also see many have been prepared to meet with prominent people, both in governmental realms and those with celebrity status too. Trust Him to fill your mouth with the right things to say at the right time. He has promised that. What a thrill to see people receiving the revelation of Father's love and knowing that wonderful assurance that they are truly loved 💕
