Prophetic Word

"But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation."
(1 Cor 14:3)

Are you watching Me in expectation? Are you looking for Me to move on your behalf? Do you know that I have heard you?

I look for faith, for the leaning back into My promise, into My presence, into My love.

Are you learning to draw upon My strength instead of your own? Are you learning to partner with Me so that I do the heavy lifting?  I enable you to rise above whatever challenges you. 

Grace is available for you. Come find it.
I will help you.

I have given you greater ability than you understand. My Spirit works mightily in you to bring you into the fullness of your destiny as My child. 
Your character, creativity, and confidence are being forged.

You are never alone.
I am here with you, at work in ways you cannot fathom. You do not have to understand it. Just know it is true.


"Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." (Heb 4:16)

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened."
(Matt 7:7-8)

How are things going for you today? Before you answer too quickly, remember:

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." ~ Prov 18:21

Knowing the importance of speaking words of life, you may hesitate at times to find a positive answer.


It is important to be truthful, and when you are in pain, to pour out your complaint to the Lord. However, optimism can become a habit as surely as pessimism.

Got a Thesaurus?
Here is an idea recently passed on to me from a friend. You may have a thesaurus on your bookshelf, or in your word-processing program, but if not, there are several online such as http://thesaurus.reference.com.

Although most of us usually reach for a thesaurus to find synonyms, it is also a terrific resource for finding a rich list of antonyms. By looking up the negative descriptive word for how things in your life appear to be going, you will find a list of opposite words and phrases to pray and declare over your circumstances with proclamations of faith.

Partner with God
Speaking words of hope and courage will make you feel better, adjust your attitude, and set you on the right course. Partner with "God, who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist". (Rom 4:17)

Note that God does not call what IS, but what is NOT.

The KJV reads "God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were."

God calls the dead into life and what does not exist into being. So call for what you want to see, rather than underscore what you do see.

"If you want to get rid of the cat, call the dog!"

For example, rather than stay in "despair", you can choose to speak uplifting words: "I anticipate, expect, have faith and hope for the promised blessings of God today in my life!"

Add a verse or promise of Scripture, making it personal:
"I hold fast the confession of my hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful;" (Heb 10:23)

Another example:
"Instead of being down, I say that I am animated, blissful, cheered, delighted, ecstatic, elevated, enchanted, enraptured, euphoric, exalted, excited, exhilarated, exultant, fired up, flying high,  gleeful, in heaven, in high spirits, in seventh heaven, joyful, joyous, jubilant, looking good, on cloud nine, overjoyed, proud, roused, set up, and transported!"

That stirs me up!

Add a personalized verse:
"For this momentary, light affliction is producing for me an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while I look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Cor 4:17-18)

You are who He says you are, and you can do what He says you can do!  Goodness and mercy follow you today!

Nuggets from Entrepreneurs & Ministry Leaders

"The present position of your life 'right now' is a direct result of a Wisdom that was either practiced or ignored. Every 'NOW' in your life, as well as the creative powers within it, are created by the Truth you have become, or the Truths that have yet to be embraced!"
~ Undrai Fizer
Undrai Fizer Ministries

"We have the God-given ability to solve problems. 'Jesus will work it out!' is a good song, but some things He is not going to work out for you. He gave you the power to work it out. How? By making right decisions, personally developing, learning and growing. Then and only then can we have true prosperity. Blessed... to be a blessing!"
