Many of us may wonder if the Lord still speaks to us today besides through the Bible. I truly believe He does and still does to this day. John 10:27–28 says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Throughout Scripture we see so many ways the Lord speaks—through dreams, visions, people, nature, and much more.
I would encourage each one of you to spend time with the Lord in a quiet place. Take a few deep breaths to try to remove the chatter that could be in your mind due to busy schedules or life circumstances. Find a calm area, which could be on a nature walk, in your living room, or even your car. Some of us with kids running around might have to do this when the children have gone to bed. It is important for all of us to spend quality time with the Lord. I believe when you take the time to be with Jesus, He will speak to you! If you are not sure of the Lord’s voice, know whatever He says will be backed up with the Word of God (the Bible) and the fruit of the Spirit. His voice will be that of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (see Galatians 5:22–23).
The Lord reminded me of a word He gave me years ago to share corporately. I really felt in my spirit to share this for the month of March. I hope this prophetic declaration ignites the fire that is in you to fulfill your calling.
“You are My beloved in whom I am well pleased. Have I not commanded you? Be of good courage. You will soar like an eagle over the nations. You will soar in the Spirit. The enemy won’t touch you or your family. You have already slain the giant. You will minister and touch others. You will speak life to the brokenhearted. You will speak life in dead situations, and flowers will start blooming. You will tread on serpents. You will release the power of the Holy Spirit that lives in you to the blind, weak, paralyzed, homeless, hopeless, and hungry. It is time to set sail. It is time to open up the sails because the Breath of life is upon you. Have I not commanded you? Be of good courage. I will never leave you nor forsake you. Every step you take, I will be next to you. If you fall, I will be there to lift you up. This won’t be easy, but I will give you the tools to defeat the enemy. It is time. The gates are being opened. The pearly gates are being opened. The angels are being released on your behalf. They are being released to make a way for your destiny.”
After reading this declaration I hope it has encouraged you to stand bold in your faith, share the gospel, and walk your everyday life for our Lord Jesus Christ. I would like to close with this. First Timothy 6:12 says, “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
The following verses, to the best of my knowledge, are what helped birth this prophetic declaration: Joshua 1:6, Isaiah 40:31, Luke 10:19, Hebrews 13:5, and Revelation 21:21. I would encourage you to highlight these verses in your Bible so you have a quick reference to them in the future.
