Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" (John 14:27). His peace brings order to our hearts and lives, even when storms rage around us. Yet at times it can feel so elusive.

If this resonates with you, be encouraged. God's peace is a powerful and personal gift that belongs to you.

The Boat, the Storm, and the Savior

"[A]nd the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7 NKJV)

One day, Jesus told His disciples to take the boat across the lake. Along the way, a terrible storm blew in, and the disciples feared for their lives. Meanwhile, Jesus was asleep, resting His head on a cushion. While they were panicking, He was at peace (see Mark 4:35–41)!

If You Settle for This, This Is All You Will Have

Recently, I was studying and reflecting on some insights that God was showing me. During this time, an event from over twenty-five years ago suddenly came to my mind.

I remembered when I had just moved to Cleveland, Tennessee to work for Norvel Hayes Ministries. Since I had relocated from another city, I brought very little furniture with me—just my bed and a bookshelf to hold my books and Bibles. I found a lovely little house to rent from a wonderful couple, but it was quite empty.

I began to pray about furnishing my home. In my prayers, God prompted me to create a very specific list of what I wanted. I made my list and prayed over it daily.

After a couple of weeks, someone called to let me know they had furniture available for me to look at. I went to see it, and as I stood there, I thought, "Well, it's not what I wanted or what was on my list, but at least it would be something." In that moment, God spoke to me and said, "If you settle for this, this is all you will have—nothing more than what you settle for."

I thanked them for their time and told them it wasn't what I was looking for. I drove back home to my empty house and waited for the provision I had prayed for. I waited and waited. For about two months, I waited in my empty house.

God's Word Accomplished Through Donald Trump

God is using Donald Trump to confirm many of the words that He has spoken to me.

On January 5, 2025, Father told me that at lightning speed great changes are coming about in our nation. After lightning struck four buildings on New Year's Eve in Washington D.C. and New York City, I heard the Lord say, "Lightning speed." He was showing me that in the days ahead, He was going to bring transformation to all these areas, and that these four buildings represented "with lightning speed."

After Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, one change after another was quickly initiated by all his numerous executive orders. He changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

While on a ministry cruise in the Gulf of Mexico on November 5, 2025, during a prayer meeting, the Holy Spirit moved on those attending to shout loudly. Afterward, He showed me that a Jericho shout went forth and took down the wall of unrighteousness that was built around the United States of America. Just like Joshua was outside the city of Jericho when they shouted and the wall came down, the Lord showed me that we had to be outside the United States of America to shout so that the wall would come down. That night, Trump won the election.

Watching Donald Trump change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America was a wonderful confirmation of what the Lord had led us to do on election day. As Joshua and his army took possession of the Promised Land, watching Donald Trump rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America has felt like a powerful confirmation that Jesus is taking this land back.  continue >>>

God Works with Faith

This message has been on my heart for some time. I want to share it, because in 2025 we will need to start off with our faith being high. I really sense that the Lord is going to break barriers for us all. But the one thing that the Lord really works with is our faith. Failure can be a giant that blocks our vision and steals our hope for the future. It can create fear and panic, hijack our faith, and keep us circling a mountain that feels too difficult to move. But failure doesn't have to be fatal!

Did you know, when you are struggling with failure, that most likely you are also in a battle with the enemy? Many people don't see failure as a battle, but it can be! This is because failure can lock us down, it can be devastating, and it can rob us of our destiny if we stay there. And if there is a fear of failure, it's even worse. Fear of failure will keep us from getting up and trying again. Failure does not have to be fatal, unless we allow it to be!   continue >>>

Over the years I have been getting instructions from the Lord about the differences between natural laws and supernatural ones.

Jesus constantly operated under and displayed the supernatural laws while operating in the natural realms of this earth. One such example is found in Mark 6.

Held Together by the Power of His Word   continue >>>

This is one of the most powerful words I have received in a long time, possibly ever. It came to me early in the morning while I was seeking the Lord. The Holy Spirit spoke it very deeply to my spirit; He was speaking to me about His remnant in 2025.

The word has three parts, and the first part is that God is wanting to speak to us, one on one. The second part is that we are going to understand the Word on a deeper level as the Lord reveals new revelation to us. The final part is that we have to follow the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives. In this season, our ministries, churches, and lives must be rooted and centered around the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

God Is about to Abundantly Bless Those Who Listen and Obey

First and foremost, God is the head of everything, and He always will be. Things are going to be hard for ministries and churches who do not see God as the head of everything.

In Luke 11:28 it says, "...God will bless all who listen to the word of God and carefully obey everything that they hear" (TPT). God is about to abundantly bless those who listen and obey His commands.

John 8:47 says, "If you really knew God, you would listen, receive, and respond in faith to His words..." (TPT). It's this simple; it is a mandate from Heaven to listen and respond to every word God says.  continue >>>

Hi friend,

This word below will resonate deeply with some more than others. It's describing how you've increasingly been feeling.

You have sensed the stirring of the Spirit. You're longing for more. You know God is calling you to launch out into something new—to build, create, initiate, innovate.

Don't rush or push too hard. Wait before Him. Remain open and expectant, and be obedient to whatever He tells you. As the weeks and months progress in 2025, you will hear His voice clearly and doors will begin to open. You might not get much more than the first step, but as you move forward in faith, the Lord will make a way.

Begin to prepare quietly, hold onto things lightly, and avoid distractions. Choose your alignments carefully and declutter your life.

This is the year where everything begins to shift, when you come out of the holding pattern, when the fire begins to burn again.

A Year to Pioneer Again 

"Remain and Abide Deeper in 2025"

Recently I heard the Lord say, "Lean into the rearranging, for in the simplification there is unprecedented fruitfulness."

The Lord has been speaking this theme to me for a significant amount of time, and as I heard Him speak it to me recently, it was amplified. As I leaned in to listen to the Lord's heart, I could feel the invitation so deeply from His heart for us to go into a deeper revelation and manifestation of ABIDING and REMAINING in Him. I could feel the heart of the Lord extending an invitation in this season to enter into a greater understanding and outworking of what it looks like to live connected and grafted into the vine.

As I have sat with the Lord, John 15 has been thundering loudly in my spirit, along with His call to "remain and abide deeper in 2025."

There is a greater securing and establishing that He is doing within His people as He deepens the revelation of John 15 in their lives.

As I continued to seek the Lord's heart, I heard Him say, "COME ALIVE IN 2025."

He then continued to speak: "I am rearranging. I am shifting and changing. I am moving and shaking. I am GREATLY rearranging.    continue >>>

Prophetic word received on December 18, 2024:

Don't Build Your House Upon the Sand

Praise be to the Lord of hosts, Maker of Heaven and Earth! Glory to God in the highest and on Earth peace and good will towards all men. Yours is the glory and power and honor forever and ever, O Lord, who is the Creator and Sustainer of all things! And to Your Kingdom there is no end.

And the Spirit of the Lord says this day, "A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND, A HOUSE DIVIDED CANNOT STAND, FOR DIVISION IS WEAKNESS. IN DIVISION THERE IS TURMOIL, IN DIVISION THERE IS CHAOS, IN DIVISION THERE IS DESTRUCTION."

And says the Spirit of the Lord this day, "The wise man built his house upon the rock and the foolish man built his house upon the sand. And the rains came and the storms came," says the Lord, "and destroyed what the foolish man had built upon the sand. What was built upon the rock endured the storm, however the storm did not overtake them (Matthew 7:24–27).

"DO NOT, in this hour, think," says the Lord, "you can build your house—your kingdom—upon the place where that house built upon sand was destroyed; for if you build such in that place, what you have built you will lose as well," says the Lord. "For your foundation will not be one set upon a firm place, a righteous place, a place of MY WORD.
