Some stuff I’ve been hearing from God the past few weeks…maybe somebody else will get something from it too?
1
be at peace
i am listening to you
i will cause your heart to rest
you have locked me out with the lies of your brain
that you are not good enough to find me
take heed to what you think
treat your mind as a great battleground
take caution where you walk
for what is in your mind
has the power to sway your whole body
if you will listen to me
and hear what i say
i will cause you to rest
be at peace
the enemy wants to destroy you
and separate you from me
but i am greater than your enemy
and i will walk with you through the fire
do not let fear overtake you
or men call you and name you
your name is of me
and of my realm
your name is prize
and you are being fought for
i came for you
i came to win you
i came to steal you away
from your captors
be at peace
for your enemy is a footstool for my feet
i do not see you
as man sees you
i am not like a man
i do not separate your good and bad
and weigh you on a scale
and cut and divide you into portions
to see what is right and holy and just
i do not discard portions of you
and lay you to waste in shame
i am your redeemer
who redeems all of you
my treasure is in your heart
and you will know who it is that comes for you
who comforts you
i will not look at you and say “this is good, i like this part”
and “this is bad, this part is worthless”
instead i hold you in the palm of my hand
and blow into the recesses of your heart
and say you are mine
you are all mine
and you will walk with me forever on my paths
and no shards of you will be wasted
and i will make every broken thing a glory by which i will make myself known
2
i’m freeing you
i’m freeing you to worship
healing praise will flow from you
bask
i flow freely
i don’t have to come to you
you choose to taste me
you step in
3
your beauty is in your freedom
i’ve seen you dance when you have no cares
you are not meant or made to be weighed down with care
anxious, worry, distress, these things are not for you
your beauty is letting go
it may seem hard for you to see past
what stands before you
but you have nothing to fear
your beauty is carelessness
your beauty is not separate from you
a thing to attain, no
your beauty is you
a thing to be released
you don’t work to get it
it’s already there
everything you wish you were
it is there, you already are
your beauty is that place you have known where “nothing matters”
everything was okay, it was okay
just to exist
4
i take no pleasure in those that would shrink back
i am depending on you to come forth
you will come forth
you will be noticed
you will speak and be heard
challenge yourself to accept my invitation
be bold today
i am offering you what i am
now offer me who you are
yes, be bold with me
assume i want to hear you
assume i want to see you
do not hide from me
take a chance
risk fellowship with me
stop denying me yourself
don’t assume i have shut you off
before you even come
5
i am pleased
that you are moving towards me
trusting that i am good
what is plainly seen
has been hidden from you
because you did not believe
but now, as you believe
with each step closer
your heart comes more alive
you are awakened
i am always wanting
you to move closer
freshness, vitality
you’re made to live in this place of freedom
knowing who you are
come and enjoy me
6
it is an old sinful mindset
it is not my new way for you
you know this
do not open that old door
or listen at its hinges
you are free to be who you are
without fear or shame
i want you to enjoy your life
your life in me
you are created to breathe freely
if it is binding and constricting
and making your heart feel bruised
it is of the enemy
the enemy is a liar
what is the truth
i will tell you what is the truth
you are made for glory
you are made for freedom
seek these things
and your treasure will be pure
i am not a harsh father
i am gentle and humble of heart
i do not break the bruised reed
i refresh the weary
i do not put out a smoldering flame
my wrath is for the wicked
for all who refuse me
i am near to the contrite in heart
i am near to the poor, the weak, the beggar
i will deliver you
this is my word to you
your enemy is shattered
i am coming to you
see and hear
be filled with the joy of the everlasting god
you had been sold to slavery
but now your heart is ransomed
and returned to your king
bow before me and let your heart rest
i’m not angry with you
here is my daughter
given headship, given authority
to rule and reign
here is my daughter, alive
go and be free
that which is in you is purity and wholeness
speak freely
walk without fear
go and believe
go and seek
effect change
heal
make my name yours
i am with you
you are a flowering tree
you have penitence about you
gifts flow and life wells out of you
hope for more

yesterday
you walked among thorns
and briars
that which would attempt
to choke out your life
i am calling you today
to come with me
into a hiding place
designed just for you
where these things do not grow
come to a place
designed just for you
where you will be able to
breathe freely
untouched by assailants
i am asking you to come to me
i am not turning you away
i am calling you here
you have feverishly tried
to do what is right
but your heart wound tight
you still live in fear
i am calling to you
can you hear it? listen
you fear to really lean on me
you keep your footing so you will not fall
but so you have not experienced my care
you have experienced your own
fall on me
will i catch you?
you are not meant to control your life
see the fish, they still live though you do not tend them
though you forget them altogether
i am here to care for you
let’s go back to the beginning
i made adam and created eve just for him
from his bones and flesh
and he rejoiced because she was like him
now i rejoice because you are like me
can you bear this?
i see me in you, you are the same kind
i will that you be like me
and you are
if i will that you be like me
will i not care for your life
to guide you and heal you?
to bring you to know truth
you are like me
and if you will come deeper
i will show you
lift up your hands
surrender
8
i made you this way so you could
bear my glory this way
deep currents of joy are in you
healing waters, freedoms, deliverances
gaieties, laughters, hilarities, blessings
peace, truth, gladness
yes they are there, they are there
they are there
open your heart wider and you will know
stop protecting yourself
i am your protector
i am your king, your shield, your overseer
you are not alone
i watch your every breath
release your care to me
i am in charge of you
the care of life steals the fruit of the word
care for nothing
be delivered from care
yes i want you to enjoy freedom
this is not an option for you
this is not a frivolity
freedom is center stage
the crux of your life
oh, get it
stop thinking you are not obedient enough
to experience my goodness
i’m calling you to a life of freedom
obey me in this
come and taste of the waters of joy
it is imperative
my holy spirit’s ministry to you
is peace, is refreshment
this is not a frivolity
this is your life
you see how you have done without it
you are anxious and afraid
i want to heal you
you have to believe it’s for you
that i am not holding it back from you
please me
walk towards me
your faith pleases me
keep coming
every day
