Daily Prophetic Word

The Father says Today, I am nurturing My nature in you. Go out and face your challenge and address it with My authority and My sense of entitled expectation. There is no plan B. Demand the overthrow of the enemy who has mocked you. Yes, the enemy has wrapped himself up in flesh and blood, and the words of the mockers have echoed in your ears. I will deal with them to the degree you refuse to lose your composure in their presence. Let MY peace be upon you even in the face of criticism, mockery, and threats. The plans of the enemy are a tissue of lies, says the Father. The future they have painted for you will come to nothing and dissolve in dust and ashes. I am flexing the sinew of My strong right arm on your behalf. With a glance, I will discomfit the demonic forces that have surrounded you. I will redeem your peace and give you the victory that the blood of the Son paid for. I will redeem you and deliver you without delay, says the Father, for this is your season of redemption and grace by My hand. Prophet Russ - The Enemy is Surrounded and Defeated in My Life - Today! I am your shield and your exceeding great reward. Do not be intimidated by the opposition you face, for I am with you always, even to the end of the age. I am your refuge and your strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble. The battle is not yours, but Mine. I have already won the victory, and I am calling you to walk in the triumph of My Son. Do not waver in your faith, for I am faithful to My promises. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but I have come that you may have life and have it to the full. I am releasing a fresh anointing upon you to dismantle the strongholds of darkness and to set the captives free. As you align yourself with My will, you will see My power manifest in unprecedented ways. My truth will be a light to your path, and My Spirit will guide you into all truth. Stand firm in the grace I have given you, for I am working in you both to will and to do of My good pleasure.

The Father says today that the waiting time is over. My promises in your life have a very brief shelf life, for I am not invested in waiting or delay for their own sake. I am a NOW God, and I am prepared to bring you into MY NOW blessing and favor. Are you prepared to follow? Your instructions are simple, and the outcome is assured. Forgive. Release. Bless. Move up and move on to the maturity I have called you to. The strength I have placed in your life will spring to manifestation as you act on the instructions I’ve given you. Don’t look back. Don’t wait to see who is going with you because this is a solitary trek. You have desired and longed to be a groundbreaker and a trailblazer, and it is available, says the Father. Are you ready to move forward? Listen to the resonance of My voice in your inner man and follow where I lead you. The barriers of limitation will shatter as the frequency of My voice is released in your life through simple and yielding obedience. Prophet Russ - I Choose to Live My Life in Simple Obedience and Blessing - Today! My grace and not your fleshly effort is the prime mover in the new season I'm bringing you to this day. This is the grace that is sufficient for you no matter what you are facing. Do not lean to the arm of flesh, for it is not by your might or by your power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord. I am calling you to step out in faith and trust in My unfailing love. As you do, you will see My hand move in miraculous ways. The former things are passed away; behold, I am doing a new thing. I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. The path ahead may not be easy, but it is a path of purpose and destiny. The seeds of greatness I have sown in you are about to blossom. Your life will become a testament to My faithfulness and a beacon of hope to those around you. Walk in the authority I have given you and speak forth the words of life and truth. For I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

The Father says today, I am leading you where you've been asking to go. Why are you resisting? You know, there are things and people that can't go where I have called you to. The delay you have struggled with will terminate when you let Me tell you what to pack and what to leave behind in this new season. It's time to grow up, says the Father. The training wheels of immaturity and childish excuses don't suit you now. I am causing you to grow up into the full measure of the stature of Christ. Childish words, actions, and opinions must fall away as the stature of Christ and the Spirit of Christ saturate your being and imbue you with My nature, My character, and My holiness. Prophet Russ - I Choose to Set Aside All Hindering Influences in My Life - Today! The glory of Christ is a now thing and a near thing to your inner man, closer than the breath of your nostrils, says the Father. I am calling you to greater yieldedness to My Spirit. It is the now time and the now hour to relinquish, release, and yield to Me in those areas that I have been polite enough and tolerant enough to ignore in your life up to now. Isn't it time to lay aside such childishness and the weight of those pet sins? You've been waiting for Me to smack your hand like a two-year-old, and I'm not going to do it. I paid the price on Calvary for you to stand as an equal to the humanity I demonstrated on the earth. Take up that privilege as a cross of responsibility, and the delays you have struggled with will dissipate. You will find yourself at the shore of your destined purpose.

The Father says today that I am not a far-off God. I am not inaccessible nor unreachable. My phone isn't off the hook, and My number isn't unlisted. I can and will be found of you when you seek Me with your whole heart. Your mind doesn't understand; it will complain, but the objections of the natural, carnal mind don't set the parameters for what I am prepared to do in your life. I don't judge after the condition of your mind says the Father, I judge and act according to the condition of your heart toward Me. It is time to remove the crown of authority and the scepter of rule from the soulish part of who you are to your human spirit, where I sit enthroned according to the provisions of the Cross. Prophet Russ - The Father Sits Enthroned on My Heart and it is He I will Listen to and Obey - Always! When you allow your mental man, your rationale, to rule, it is capable only of scorn and deceit. The mind is a spoiled child that constantly wants to be fed something to think, something to listen to, and something to look at. Who are you going to acquiesce to says the Father. The dictates of a spoiled child or the mandate of the One Who Sits Enthroned on Your Heart? All outward change begins with inward transformation. The outward bonds of restriction, impediment, and constraint in your life will crumble and fall when you find yourself willing to usurp the tyranny of vain understanding and henceforth anchor yourself to the leadership of My Spirit in your inward man.

The Father says today that My mind is connecting with you in a new way beginning today. I will reveal My thoughts to you, though they are inscrutable to your reason and rationale. I will cause you to think like I think, though I am not a man nor do I think as a man thinks. My rationale is madness to the natural man, so don’t be dismayed when those around you think you lost your mind because you hear what they do not hear, see what they don't see, and sense what they are ignorant of. They will look at you and question and wonder, but realize that it isn’t your place to convince them, but it is your job to be convinced of Me and obey Me in all things, for I have called you to hear My voice and respond in a timely manner (NOW!!). Prophet Russ - I Open My Eyes to See and My Ears to Hear and My Heart to Sense all that God is Saying to Me - Today! I am speaking, says the Father, are you listening? I am speaking in the night seasons as I take you up above the earth and cause you to commune with Me far beyond your bedside. I am whispering to you as you commute back and forth on a daily basis. When you think your mind is in neutral, I am releasing massive downloads of breakthrough and deliverance that will change your circumstance if you allow it. Make room for My mind in your mind, says the Father. The understanding of others (of the religious mentality) can be very myopic in nature and shortsighted, spiritually speaking. They cannot and will not always comprehend or accept what I am purposing to do in you and through you. Turn your ear toward heaven, says the Father, and you will feel My breath on you like a wind from the garden as I whisper to you the destined purposes of My kingdom that will defeat every other agenda against you.

The Father says today, put your hand to the plow and don't look back upon what lies behind you. The past? Forget the past. Forgive, release, bless those people, things, and relationships that you can't fix and that you couldn't make any different. The past is finished, and I have already accounted for it. Do not let your thoughts dwell on what could have been or what you believe you have lost. I have prepared great things for those who will align themselves with My instruction and walk in My Spirit. I've called you to a great work in the earth, and I am seeking people who are willing to be used for kingdom purposes and not man's. I am looking for those who are willing to pay the price, to turn from worldly compromise, and to give me their full and total life wholly dedicated to Me. I require your complete dedication, with your attention fixed only on me. This is how you will be able to move with My Spirit, and thereby to participate and not merely observe that which I'm bringing about in this season. Prophet Russ - I believe that breakthrough comes not by Might, Nor by Power, but by God's Spirit - Today! Let this truth underscore everything you do and every choice you make. It is not by your own might or the power of men that My work in the earth and among men will be accomplished. It is through My Spirit that I will accomplish the things I intend to do on earth, and I don't need any man's help or permission to move forward, only a willing heart. The only way for you to be a part of this is to relinquish your limited thinking and opinions and make a choice always to operate and walk in My Spirit in every situation you find yourself in. To achieve this, you will need to set aside more time to be with me than you have in the past. I am calling you to separate yourself and come away into My presence, so that you may be instructed by Me and receive from Me the direction you need. This is the path to achieving the things I have set for you, and it is the only path that will lead to success and the completion of your intended purpose in My plan.

The Father says today that you have called out to me, and regardless of what it seems, I have heard you and I've answered you in a time appointed. You don’t need to shout or make a scene to get my attention; the blood of the Cross is enough. You have my full attention and regard- go ahead and ask me.  Ask Me that thing that you've dared not ask Me because you've been taught that My default answer is "no," but My default answer isn't "no," it's "yes." My answer is always and ever "yea and amen" when you ask according to My word and not for strictly selfish reasons. Wondering what comes next? Realize the work is already done. Give some thought to the fact that all prayer is offered up on the ground of the finished work of the Cross. I have already made the way for you through the cross. My arms are open wide, and I long for you to come close. There is no need for you to wonder if you are welcome. I understand your heart completely and will never be distant from you. Prophet Russ - I Bring My Prayers to God on the Ground of the Finished Work of Christ - Today! I showed Myself mighty on behalf of My people under the Old Covenant, but you have a better covenant and better promises. I not only want to engage with you and meet your every need, but I also long to bring you into deeper intimacy with Me in every area of your life. Moses was a unique and special person but he only saw my back, and that encounter changed everything for humanity. With you, I am ready to meet you face to face, intimately and personally. This is an invitation to a new level of closeness with me that will completely transform your life. Are you ready for this change? Are you ready for the face-to-face intimacy that I offer you? Get ready, because I am coming to you in a fresh way to bring about this new beginning.

The Father says today that the blinders I've allowed to be on your eyes are being removed, for there are things it is now time to see and act upon, and take responsibility for. It will be intimidating at first, but keep in mind that I am shepherding your expectations, so hope remains strong, and I am uncovering assumptions you've made about relationships, commitments, and even vocation that limited better solutions. When you are challenged, speak truth calmly, for truth in itself carries authority. Regardless, stay in your lane and don't allow outside influences to provoke an unhelpful reaction. Men will fail you but look to Me and trust Me for I am stabilizing what felt uncertain. Your generosity and stewardship will open the right doors and invite multiplication. Your tone will steady tense rooms, and your influence will grow as you serve well. Your prayer will partner with your planning, and your future will benefit from the order you set now. I am aligning your timing so that your readiness meets the opportunity, and your schedule will testify to your faith. Your review will protect you from detours. Prophet Russ - My Prayers are Partnering with God's Plan for My Life - Today! Even though others around you will panic and grope for what to do next, fear not. I am highlighting the next right step; take it, and momentum follows. Don't give in to the fight or flight temptation. Wait on Me. Keep your mind stayed on Me for in consistency and faithfulness, miracles of intervention will take place. I am cleaning up your to do list and I am bringing closure to lingering tasks. Let your choices mirror what you value most. I am shaping your speech to build faith without hype and giving insight during ordinary tasks—write these down. Your endurance will carry more than bursts of energy. I am clarifying what is helpful from what is merely busy. Small wins will be noticed and multiplied. I am forming habits that outlast emotion, and your planning table will be a place where we work together. I am building resilience that outlasts criticism and aligning provision with purpose. You will know when to pause and when to proceed. Your diligence will speak for you without announcement. Your calm will be promote you to leadership when pressure rises. Choose peace every time and continue without hurry.

The Father says Today, stretch your faith and exercise your faith to embrace, yes, even CALL FOR with the words of your mouth, all the dividends of the Cross that accrue to you as a blood-bought child of the Most High. Whether it’s facing everyday challenges or defending yourself against enemy attacks, the Father says, know that My promise is to provide you with all the strength and all the protection you need for that moment. I’ve witnessed the relentless onslaught the enemy has launched against you, says God, but rejoice, my beloved, for I am taking away the target of destruction the enemy brought against you and replacing it with a target of blessing. Yes, God says, I have you firmly in the crosshairs of My favor, and I am bringing to bear the full weight of My goodness, My kingdom, and My destiny. I am building grace upon grace into your life and your situation this very day, regardless of the circumstances that may appear in the natural world.  It's a new day, says the Father. It may not be what others see or what others experience, but they are not your example - My word is your example, and My word will produce in your life when mixed with faith! Prophet Russ - I Choose to Mix God's Word with Faith for His Explosive Favor in My Life - Today! Never allow, says God, the circumstance to speak louder or with more authority in your life than My blood-bought promise. Get your eyes off of the distractions of the world around you. The enemy wants to distract you and distress you because he knows if he can distract you, he can ambush your faith, tear you down, and steal what I've laid out in store for your benefit. Rise up on the hackles of your faith and refuse to allow this to happen, and the enemy will flee. Keep your mind and your affections anchored in Me, focused on the heavens where I sit Lord over all creation and beloved, where you are seated firmly, not just with Me but in Me, for I am in you and you are in Me. You can no more be defeated than I can be defeated when you allow your mind and what you see with your eyes and hear with your ears to be dominated by the Christ-mentality that bled and died to put at your disposal. This is your day. This is a new day, and all things are shifting and moving toward your promised outcome as you keep your eyes fixed on Me. 

The Father says today, you have wrestled with the notion that your human limitations and past failings have disqualified you from the very purpose I have placed within you. But I tell you now, that is a lie you must cast away and reject. Plan "A" for your life is still on the table, for I am the God that takes the ashes of failure and disappointment and from them brings about undeniable destiny, testimony, and reason for praise. Your greatest weakness is not a hindrance; rather, it is the very vessel through which My strength will be made perfect. Did I not declare in My written word that I intentionally choose the low and the common things of this world to confound and expose the arrogance of those who rely on their own might? You must understand that you are not just a candidate for My work—you are uniquely qualified because of your frailty, not despite it. I have selected the raw material of your life, the very things you consider to be flaws, and it is through this that I will establish My Kingdom, execute righteousness, and dismantle all opposing rule and authority. The pressure you have been feeling is not a sign of failure but a confirmation that you are in My refining process. This is the very heat and pressure required to shape you into a precious stone. Prophet Russ - In God My Greatest Weakness is My Greatest Strength - Today! Cooperate with My hand at work says the Father. Do not resist the process I am working in you for it is forging you into a person of profound influence. I am forming and making up My jewels, and you are among them. Precious stones do not achieve their brilliance by chance; they are shaped and refined under intense heat and pressure. The discomfort and weight you feel are necessary components of this transformative work. You must trust Me through this operation of My Spirit in you and on you, knowing that the final result will be a manifestation of My grace and a testament to My blessing upon your life. I am preparing you to be an adornment of grace and a source of blessing. This is not about your performance; it is about your availability and obedience. Your own frail and flawed nature is the very thing I am using to prove My power and My wisdom to the world around you. There is a weight of glory coming upon you that will far outweigh the rigors of the battle you've faced. Do not lose heart, for the outcome is secure. I am putting a new rhythm in your spirit—a rhythm of victory, a rhythm of grace, and a rhythm of peace. Your victory is not a future event; it is a present reality in Me.

The Father says today that this is one of those times to audit your commitments and relationships, making adjustments for your own well-being and to facilitate a greater focus on what "Seek the Kingdom" looks like in your daily life. Remember "Man plans, God decides." Go ahead and plan, but hold everything loosely and stay open to My hand at work, bringing your hopes and dreams more in line each day with what I actually have in mind for your life. In this way, your plans and dreams will be a collaboration between us. Your influence will increase as you serve. I am clarifying what to release so you can receive what is intended for you. You will know when to pause and when to proceed. I am stabilizing your expectations so hope remains firmly anchored in My will and not some flight of fancy the enemy is seeking to derail you with. I am reorienting your efforts toward a greater calling and purpose. Never allow your vision to become so narrow that you only see problems and obstacles. Your attention is a resource; guard it diligently. Day by day, you will discover that I am highlighting the next right step. As you obey and step out, momentum will build, and a breakthrough will manifest much sooner and in a fuller way than you might expect. Prophet Russ - Man Plans and God Directs, even in My Life - Today! Say to yourself every day during this time and season, "Hold everything loosely, keep your eye on Jesus, no matter what."  I am highlighting specific relationships that need to be strengthened and identifying areas where your time and resources are being drained, unrelated to what I'm asking of you. As you do this, you will find that you have more time, more patience, and more grace to deal with things that challenge your peace and your walk with Me. I am ensuring that the provision I am sending aligns with my purpose and not merely squandered by those who want to use you and then discard you when they are done with you. Do not allow those who are masters and guilt-tripping to lay burdens on you that I never expected you to accept or to carry. Let every man take his own burden - not making you responsible for the outcomes in their lives that derive from their ungodly choices and decisions. I am teaching you to build into the things, people, and even places that which lasts, bears fruit, and glorifies Me. Guard your energy level and your rest. Rest - My rest in your life safeguards your clarity. In so doing, you will be on time and on target with the enthusiasm and energy to mount up with eagle's wings and fulfill the assignments I've called you to in this hour.  

The Father says today, I am removing unnecessary distractions from your life and granting you the conviction to make decisions and to adapt as necessary for your life without experiencing shame. In the midst of the pressure you are facing, don't neglect the generosity of heart. The generosity you show to others will open doors for you. Your small victories will be acknowledged and amplified. Your gratitude will improve your perspective and sharpen your judgment. You must not neglect your health or maintaining an "others" orientation, so create space in your life for both rest and generosity. Always remember there is a difference between self-care and selfishness. Ensure your decisions reflect what you truly value as you seek to reflect My nature to those around. I am redirecting your energy from the need to prove yourself toward serving your ordained purpose. I am managing your expectations so your hope can remain strong. False hopes, dead-end situations, and relationships are being exposed so you can make the leap from futile effort to kingdom obedience. Remember, you are a long-distance runner, not a sprinter. The endurance you possess will accomplish more than any short-lived burst of energy. Your diligence will stand as a testimony for you without you having to speak. Your ability to say “yes” will become more powerful as your ability to say “no” becomes clearer. I am teaching you to build things that will last, not what is merely trendy. Prophet Russ - I Choose to Accept God's Adjusting Hand on My Life - Today! There are times to speak up and times to remain quiet. Exercise this wisdom especially in the midst of all the shrill and shrieking narratives of panic and outrage that, in the end, are nothing more than that which seeks to distract you from who I am and what I'm doing in your life. Then, when you DO speak the truth calmly and clearly, it will carry authority. I am bringing to light the assumptions that have limited your ability to discover better solutions to long-standing challenges that have been seemingly permanent fixtures in your life. Remember that change isn't harmful; change is beneficial. I am fostering new habits in you that will outlast temporary emotional turmoil. I am connecting you with individuals who value integrity, honesty, and forthrightness above all things. Clarity will come, and with clarity, the right resources to pursue the calling I've placed on your life. I am transforming your frustrations into practical strategies. I am giving you the confidence to make decisions and to adjust as needed without shame or fear of what others think about what I've prompted you to do. I am interrupting your tendency to over-commit with wisdom to hold back and maintain your own well, even when others would use you till there is nothing left to give. I am bringing clarity regarding what is helpful versus what is simply keeping you busy. Your identity is secure; act from it rather than for it. I am simplifying your priorities so that taking action becomes obvious. I am clarifying what you need to release so you can receive what is appropriate for you. Your schedule will be a testament to your faith; arrange it accordingly. I am stabilizing what has felt uncertain in order to bring you back to joy and joy unspeakable - which is the portion of every believer.

The Father says today, I am moving to establish healing as a defining testimony in your walk with Me. I have seen the seasons of stretching and the places where restoration seemed hard to hold on to. Now I am breathing fresh strength into you, and I am surrounding you with the assurance of My presence. This is the hour where peace will be your compass, guiding your choices and confirming My direction. Do not allow the voice of discouragement to shape your perspective, for I am rewriting your outlook with hope. The storms of the past were not wasted—they built in you a capacity for endurance and a readiness for what I am unfolding now. Keep your eyes lifted, for you will see evidence of My hand in places you thought were finished. I am redeeming time, restoring joy, and positioning you for forward momentum that no circumstance can hinder. Prophet Russ – I embrace God’s Healing and walk in Restoration with Peace – Today! The Father says today, Healing is not an occasional gift but a lasting reality I am building in your life. As you walk in restoration and remain steady in peace, you will see My hand making crooked paths straight. I am removing burdens that weighed heavily and replacing them with clarity and confidence. Do not shrink back or second-guess yourself, for I am confirming My word with peace and with favor. You will find that your healing testimony will open doors that once resisted you, and My Spirit will give you wisdom for each step. What felt like a delay is turning into acceleration, and what felt like resistance will be remembered as the very soil where your testimony grew. Take courage, for I am with you, leading you forward into a season of fulfillment.

The Father says today, I am not confused by the noise around you, and I am not hindered by it - don't YOU be hindered. Honor commitments you've made even under pressure, because faithfulness in small things qualifies you for larger trust. Small, consistent choices will outpace dramatic, showy efforts, but in reality, in the end, consistency and faithfulness produce in radical measure. Doors are opening that match your current level of preparation, not fantasy or empty dreams. Your capacity is growing as you choose discipline over distraction. Follow the peace that passes understanding. You will recognize My leading by peace that withstands uncertainty and chaos all around you. You will see results by doing the right thing, the "GOD" thing repeatedly, not sporadically. Expect resistance, but refuse agreement with it; agreement gives the enemy authority. Guard your words; agreement with disappointment delays progress. Refuse to make permanent conclusions about your life or your destiny from temporary conditions.  Prophet Russ – I choose trust and timing as I follow God’s leading – Today! Your mind is a battlefield, and you are called to conquer fear at the level of your thoughts, not just your feelings. Stay humble and teachable. Today, concentrate on building trust and practicing consistent timing. Know that I am present in the details of your life, working without delay to turn the lessons you’ve learned into leverage for your future. Don’t waste what you have learned. Stay in a posture of thankfulness even in the battle. Gratitude is a powerful strategy that can reset your focus and renew your strength. I am closing doors that drain you so you can clearly see the right path forward. Make your decisions based on My word, not on public opinion or personal fear. I am training you to respond to truth rather than react to pressure, and I am giving you a strategy to simplify what has felt complicated. Maintain patience as you advance. Do not mistake My silence at times for absence; I am working in ways you cannot yet quantify, for you are moving from faith to faith and glory to glory, and that right quickly says the Father.

The Father says today that I am bringing you into a new season of authority and purpose. The time for waiting for a future something is over. I am establishing you in a position of spiritual power right now. You are not meant to wait until the end of all things to exercise the authority I have given you. The kingdoms of this world are already being transformed into My kingdom and the kingdom of My Son. Your position in Christ is not something for the future; it is a present reality. You are no less in Christ today than you will be for all eternity. Therefore, the rule and authority I have given you are active right now. I have made you a principality and a power in the spiritual realm today. Prophet Russ - I speak to you in the Name of Jesus, the Messiah, who is Lord of all, and whose Word is true and unchanging - Today! I have given you authority in the heavens to be used for impact on the earth. This is a position you must actively stand in. Do not expect the enemy to retreat simply because you have aligned your heart with Me. The enemy will challenge you and resist your advance. However, you must remember that I have already defeated him. The victory is already secured. Your part is to go into your life and implement the defeat I have already won. Step into this authority I have given you and use it to advance My purposes in your daily life. Do not hesitate or doubt, for the power is already yours through Me.

The Father says today I am restoring your soul. I am reaching back into your past to unchain you from the emotional conflicts caused by prior hurts and disappointments. You will no longer live in your past. I am bringing you completely into your present, for I am a present God. Your inner being is being repaired by My hand. I am filling up the empty places in your spirit with the knowledge you have gained in your walk with Me. The voids of hurt and disappointment are being healed and relieved by My comforting presence. I am removing the burdens and weights you have carried. The sorrows that have held you captive are being lifted, and you will walk in newfound freedom. I am setting your spirit free from the lingering effects of what has already happened, so that you may fully embrace the path I have for you now. Prophet Russ - He who is in me will show you the things to come - Today! Purpose in your mind to forget the things that are behind you and to focus on the things that are ahead. I am putting a new measure of resolve in your heart to move forward. Your past does not define you, and it will not dictate your future. I am giving you the strength to leave behind the mistakes and failures and to press toward the high calling I have placed upon your life. I am replacing your old perspective with a fresh vision for your future, one filled with hope and purpose. Your identity is found in Me, and I am the God of the present and the future. I am redirecting your gaze from what was lost to what is being gained. You are stepping into a new season, and I am with you every step of the way. I am mending the wounds and repairing the brokenness so that you can become whole in Me.

The Father says today that I am leading you away from the barren place and into a time of new fruitfulness and blessing. The voices that speak into your life only desolation and impending judgment - those voices do not originate from Me. Those who focus on the coming wrath and the gloom have only a partial view of what is happening. Yes, there is gross darkness at work in the earth, but am I not the morning spread on the mountains? They see the chaos and the struggles on the earth, but they do not see the full picture. I am establishing My kingdom, and that kingdom is built on righteousness, peace, and joy. My authority is increasing in the world. This is not a kingdom that is managed or dependent on human political systems; instead, My rule is above and over all political processes. I am sovereign over every nation and every government, and I bring about My will regardless of the plans of man. Prophet Russ - I proclaim that the will of the Father prevails over all human actions - Today! Know this says God, what happens in your prayer closet dominates anything that originates in the ballat box or the voting booth. Never allow your passion for politics to eclipse your passion for My kingdom and My Spirit, for My kingdom rules over all. Do not be afraid or become sidetracked by those who work against My purposes. It is not by human strength or influence that I accomplish My work, but by My Spirit alone. I am operating in the middle of the very problems and chaos that people create to fulfill My sovereign intentions. Understand that I have authority over all the nations of the world, and I remove one ruler and establish another as I see fit. Man pulls the voting lever, but I decide the outcome. Man is not your answer - look to Me always. People may participate in the political process, but it is My divine will that governs the results from My throne. You will see My purposes fulfilled despite the actions of men.

The Father says today, I am giving you favor with those you need to have favor with. Work situations, employment challenges, all of those interactions with the world around you—they are firmly in My hand. Surely in the world you may see indifference, selfish hearts, and even outright hatred, but I will cause even those who hate you to be at peace with you in My name. Roll the care of that circumstance over on Me. Those problems and challenges haven't taken Me by surprise, and it's not a problem. Trust Me. Don't move in desperation, or give in to panic or small solutions. I am a big God, and I am prepared to do big things. Dream a bigger dream. Broaden your horizons and believe for greater things, better things, new things, for I am all about increase and benefit and blessing even where creature comforts are concerned. Remember the prayer of Jabez, and know that I hear and respond to every petition lifted up in My name. I enlarged the coast of Jabez, and he didn't have the shed blood of Calvary over which to petition Me. Prophet Russ - I declare that God will enlarge my coast and bring new things because I am trusting Him with my problems and challenges - Today! The covenant that you stand on is a covenant of more than what Abraham could hope for, or Noah, or Enoch. You desire to see increase in the coming year, and I will be petitioned of you even as I was petitioned of Jabez in the Bible. Is the place where you are at too narrow for you? Ask of Me and I will enlarge your coast, and enlarge your life. Enlargement is available, but you must enter into a dialogue with Me regarding the enlargement that you are crying out for. I am ready to listen and ready to speak. I am ready to bring My wisdom online in your life that will shift your whole existence to a whole new place of blessing! Coming to know Me never ends in this lifetime. I want to make myself known to you as I said in My word, "from glory to glory". The depths of My Spirit stretch out all around you. The heights of My presence tower endlessly above you and flow boundlessly without measure beneath you.

The Father says today, 'I have a caravan of blessings on its way to you.' I am not meeting just one need, not just two needs, but also the entire inventory of concerns that are in your heart. All of those concerns that are beyond your capability are not outside My reach. Know that I am superintending your life and moving on your behalf. Concerning your loved ones and those close to you, know this—I have a way and a means to reach them in their struggles. They have made choices and those choices have consequences; however, the will of man is no match for the wooing power of My Spirit. The things that you want for them are the things that I want for them as well: redemption, salvation, and healing. All this is their portion and My resolute plan where they are concerned. I want you to realize that you are a part of the process through which I will bring change in those lives. Prophet Russ - I declare that God chooses me to be a messenger of salvation, deliverance, and blessing for my loved ones - Today! In every area of need and particularly where other people are concerned, My plan is not for you to sit on the sideline passively expecting something to get better. You are a part of the deliverance of those close to you who need to come to the foot of the cross. You have wondered when I will send that perfect worker to get through to them in their lost condition—know this, that I choose you. It is My will to redeem. I will lift them up out of the pit. I will bring them to a place of intimacy with Me. But know that you are My chosen messenger to speak to them on My behalf, even as you have cried out to Me on their behalf. Be willing to gather your courage and, with My wisdom, bring again the gospel of salvation, deliverance, and blessing to those who are outside the boundaries of the shed blood of Calvary. I will go with you and I will confirm your words with signs following. You will see results, and your rejoicing will be great!

The Father says today, I am pleased that you choose to tread My courts. I am so pleased that you are inquiring of Me this day. You have come before My throne, and you will not leave empty-handed or disappointed. Out of the unseen and into the seen, I will pour out My favor upon you. From the eternality of My throne, I will pour out upon you the temporality of My goodness in the situation you now find yourself in. You will taste and see the reality and substance of My goodness laid up in store on your behalf. You will know that your prayers are heard and that the answers you sought and petitioned for have not gone unheeded. So open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. I hover over you like the mother bird hovering over her young in the nest. I will fill you and feed you with My promise and My goodness as you cry out to Me. I am the God who rewards those who diligently seek My face. Prophet Russ - I declare that I will testify of God's love, mercy, and goodness, and I will be a representative for His true nature - Today! The testimony of My Spirit is the testimony of My faithfulness and My watchful care over those that belong to Me. Choose this day to be a representative and a voice advocating for My goodness to those who have been lied to and to whom I have been misrepresented. For centuries, men have maligned the testimony of the Cross and depicted Me as an austere and heartless despot hurling lightning bolts on hapless victims. Go out and testify to My love and mercy and goodness this day. Know that I will back you up with signs and wonders to attest to My true nature. Step away from the dark religious overtones of false thinking and open your mouth and your heart to declare just who I am and what I have done for all mankind upon the cross to bless and to benefit and forgive! I am opening up new experiences for you. Now is the time in this season of transition to ask anew regarding those long-standing features of difficulty and struggle in your life. Change is at hand.
