Daily Prophetic Word

The Father says today, Excuse me? You interrupted My conversation. I was talking to your spirit man. I was bearing witness with your spirit that you are, in fact, My child. The fact that you are My child isn’t based on what you feel or even how you act at any given moment. You are My child because I am in you. Because I am IN YOU, then it follows that YOU ARE IN ME. Your spirit man asked (without checking with your conscious mind) if you were My child. Sometimes actions speak louder than words, so I just gathered you up in My arms and smothered you with My kisses like any good Poppa would when needed. You just look like you need a hug. Don’t go getting religious on Me now says the Father. You need those tender moments and we don’t have to dress them up in Sunday clothes with all the “thees” and “thous” for it to be a legitimate spiritual experience. I am demystifying who I am on the inside of you so you can know Me better. Why? Because who you don’t know, you don’t trust, and I want you to trust Me in a deeper way. You are going to need it in the days ahead. Prophet Russ - I Choose the Embrace of Heaven and Accept My Place in the Father's Family - Today! This intimate relationship is not about performance or perfection; it is a bond forged in love and grace. I am not a distant, unapproachable deity, but a Father who desires to draw near to you in every moment, both big and small. The world may tell you that your worth is found in your accomplishments or your outward appearance, but I say your true identity is rooted in Me. You are beloved, chosen, and set apart, not because of what you do, but because of who you are to Me—My child. As you learn to lean into this truth, you will find a new level of peace and security that the world cannot offer. I am not asking you to strive or to earn My affection; I am simply asking you to receive My love and walk in the confidence that comes from knowing you are already accepted and adored. In this place of trust, you will discover a strength and resilience you never knew you had, for My power is made perfect in your weakness.

The Father says today that I am including you in My outpouring. I am pouring My spirit into you even as metal is poured into a mold. I am forging Myself into you, says the Father, and you are forever changed. Open yourself to Me in this hour and be engulfed and swept up into My mind and My heart. I am extending My person into your person, says the Father, until the line between who I AM and who you are is irreversibly blurred. Get ready, says the Father, for we are going into uncharted territory in your walk with Me. No more pedantic religious strolls through the familiar territory of the mundane and recognizable. I have reserved you to Myself and in My jealousy I will draw you into the depths, even the depths of intimacy that you have cried out for. This is the answer to the gnawing hunger of your inner man that you have found no other fulfillment for because nothing of the world can ever satiate that portion of Myself that I have reserved in your heart and in your life. Prophet Russ - God Has Forged Himself in My in the Fire of His Glory - Today! All unrest and turmoil will come to stillness in the trackless depths of a new intimacy with Me in your life, says the Father. Give way and yield yourself. Yield yourself in the time-honored meditations and acts of worship that give form to the sweet interludes of communion, even in the deep hours of the night. I am the yes and amen to every need, says the Father, and in that place I will surely be and become your All in All. You are entering a season of unparalleled communion with Me, where your soul will find rest and your spirit will be renewed. The pressures and anxieties of this world will fade into insignificance as you fix your gaze upon Me. I am calling you to a deeper level of surrender, a complete yielding of your will to My own. As you do, you will discover a profound peace that surpasses all understanding. Do not hold back, for I have a greater purpose for you than you can imagine. I will fill you with My divine essence, and you will become a vessel of My love and power to a world in need. This is a journey of transformation, a journey into the heart of God.

The Father says Today, I am calling you to an anointed assertiveness. Humility has nothing to do with lying down and allowing the enemy to run roughshod over your life. Anger is not a sin when it finds its expression in Me. I have authorized you says the Father to be angry with the things that make Me angry. My anger says the Father burns hot against every contradiction to My promise in your life. I am shaking the heavens and melting the hills and showing up in your life in suddenness and great power. No longer will the enemy take his toll on your life and walk away smirking at what he thinks he got away with. Open your mouth and let My rebuke be on your lips. The stroke of My strong right arm will fall upon the enemy of your soul when you have HAD ENOUGH, says the Father, and begin to move in holy aggression against every contradiction in your life to My promises. You are going to have to ask Me. You are going to have to say “God, you said ....” Call upon Me and I will answer you. I will answer with more than words, says the Father, but with substantive acts of spiritual, physical, and financial deliverance. You will be able to quantify My greatness in your behalf. You will not be left behind or left out, for you are the object of My goodness and favor in this hour, says the Father. Prophet Russ - This Day I Choose to Assert Myself in the Anointing, Against All the Work of the Enemy! This is a time for you to rise up in the authority I have given you. Do not be passive in the face of injustice or accept less than what I have promised. The season of waiting is over; now is the time for action. I am equipping you with a boldness that will silence the accuser and put the forces of darkness to flight. The attacks against you have been a test of your endurance, but I am now turning the tables in your favor. Your faith, once a quiet whisper, will become a roar that shakes the foundations of the enemy's kingdom. I am unleashing a fresh wave of My power to tear down strongholds and dismantle every lie that has kept you bound. My response to your prayers will be swift and undeniable, and the breakthrough you have been seeking will manifest in every area of your life. The world will see My glory in you, and they will know that it is I who have fought on your behalf. My goodness and favor will surround you like a shield, protecting you and propelling you forward into the destiny I have prepared for you.

The Father says today that My Lordship is a living, breathing force in and around you. The nature of My authority and My dominion is extended to you and applies to every need and circumstance of your life. The station in life that Adam abdicated in the garden is restored to you in the cross. You are not less than, and you are not subject to the law of sin and death. You are not estranged from Me, and you are not denied the resources of heaven. I will not deny you Myself, and I will not deny you the inventories of glory to address every deficit in your life. Make your requisition from My glory says the Father. In the glory is every answer to every cry of your heart. In the glory, you will find My yes and amen to every challenge. Every promise I have made in My word finds its yes in Me says the Father, and when you turn to Me, you will not be denied. Prophet Russ - I am Not Denied the Resources of Heaven - In Jesus' Name! Ask largely says the Father. Don’t ask weak or anemic prayers. Challenge My grace, for it is wider than you can conceive and more available than you could possibly know. I have determined, says the Father, to give you what I paid for on the cross. I will bankrupt heaven and move the earth in answer to the heartfelt and confident petitions from your lips. Ask, says the Father. Ask and seek and know, for you will not be denied on a single score. I have placed within you a spirit of power and abundance, not of lack or limitation. Rise up in the authority I have given you and speak with boldness, for your words carry the weight of My kingdom. I am the source of all supply, and My well never runs dry. Your faith is the key that unlocks the floodgates of heaven. Let your prayers be a reflection of My boundless capacity to provide and to save. Do not measure My willingness by your past experiences or by the limitations of this world. I am the God who does exceedingly and abundantly beyond all that you could ask or imagine.

The Father says today that I love you as you are, but I won’t leave you as you are. I will not leave you in powerlessness, despair, or want, says the Father. I am your provider and your provision. I am your healer and your healing. Lean hard into who I am in your life, says the Father, and you will see the manifestation of every need met. You’ve asked Me, “Father, can’t you just make all of THIS turmoil go away?” My reply is that I only know how to overcome, and My default position in every circumstance is Lordship in the midst of the fight. Take your stand, says the Father. Take your stand in Me, and I will take My stand in you. I will stand up on the inside of you and bare My arm. I will make My arm bare and the enemy will tremble, and you will look for your problem and say, “Problem? What problem? Did I have a problem? I don’t remember.” For in My economy, says the Father, I not only address the problem, I remove the remembrance of it from your life for the joy and sweetness of victory. Prophet Russ - I Choose to Take My Stand in God in the Midst of the Fight - Today! I am the God of more than enough, and I delight in blessing My children beyond their expectations. Your current situation is not a reflection of My will for your life, but a temporary challenge that I will turn into a testimony of My goodness. Trust in My process, for I am working all things together for your good. Do not be discouraged by the giants you face, for I have already given you the victory. As you surrender your will to Mine, I will fill you with My supernatural strength and courage. The mountains of impossibility will become level ground before you, and the rivers of adversity will part as you walk through them. My love for you is not passive; it is an active force that is working to transform you from the inside out. I am raising you up as a mighty warrior, and your faith will be a shield against every fiery dart of the enemy. So stand tall, my child, and know that you are not alone in this battle. I am with you, and I am fighting for you, and I will lead you into a place of complete and total victory.

The Father says today, by the blood of the Cross, you stand blameless and without disqualification before My throne. You are not disqualified in any way, says the Father. You are not "less than" or "not good enough." I am the sole qualifier for destiny, and not anything else. So you aren’t waiting for any condition to be met before you step up and step out into who I have made you. You are standing in the measure wherewith I measure you by the full stature of the Christ in you. Hear what I declare of you, says the Father! You have received the adjudication of heaven. There is no record from the throne of any wrong done or offense remembered, for forgiveness is yours. The prosecution has no basis for appeal, for there is no evidence against you to present, for I have rendered you the double. Before the beginning of the world, I made provision for you to walk in guiltless freedom before Me through this current chapter of your life. My child, even the enemy of your soul will fall silent if you give no ear to his deprecations against you.  Prophet Russ - I am Forgiven and Guilt-Free by the Appeal of Heaven - Today! Determine this day to reject the condemnation and disparagements he has hurled your way. Turn your ear continually away from what the enemy says and be attuned to My approbation and the affirmation of who I am in you. Allow what I say to you to sink down into your heart. Then manifestation will take place, and you will find yourself an overcomer in the fray with your foot on the devil’s neck and the garlands of victory upon your shoulders. Your identity is not in your mistakes or your failures, but in My unwavering love and grace for you. I have clothed you in My righteousness, and I see you through the finished work of the cross. Every obstacle that stands in your way is an opportunity for My power to be displayed. Do not retreat or surrender, for I am with you, a mighty warrior. I have given you the keys to the kingdom, and what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Take up your authority and speak to the mountains in your life, and they will be cast into the sea. This is your season to live in the fullness of My promises and to walk in the victory that has already been secured for you. The enemy's strategies are exposed, and his power is broken. Rise up and take your place as a joint heir with Christ, for you are more than a conqueror through Him who loved you.

The Father says today that the Enemy is blowing a trumpet, seeking to divert the attention of the people of God while he weakens and distorts their defenses. His goal is to occupy My watchmen with ministry staff problems, lay-offs, management issues, and financial cutbacks while he gains the upper hand.” The Father says: STAY FOCUSED ON ME in this hour. STAY FOCUSED ON MY VOICE. Have you ever had "the phone call from hell?" The enemy will send a phone call to you, the nature of which demands that you CANNOT IGNORE IT, but the Father says DO NOT YIELD YOUR FOCUS because this is the pivotal moment of ascension for My people. If you will stand your ground and refuse to yield to this tactic of the enemy, I will cause you to slip into the seat of the principalities and powers that are ranged in opposition to His purposes, and you will rule and you will reign in His purposes and fulfill your assignments and come to destiny! Prophet Russ - I Choose to Maintain My Focus on the Kingdom and Not What the Enemy is Threatening - In Jesus' Name! I am calling you to a new level of spiritual authority and discernment. This is not a time to be sidetracked by trivial matters or earthly concerns. Your anointing and purpose are too vital to be squandered on the enemy's distractions. Don't let ANYTHING take your eyes off the harvest! The enemy of your soul seeks to exhaust you and wear you down with insignificant battles, so you are too weary to fight the real war. Your steadfastness in the face of these diversions is your greatest weapon. As you fix your eyes on Me and listen for the voice of My Spirit voice alone, I will give you supernatural insight and strength. This season of testing is a prelude to your greatest triumphs. Your faithfulness in the small things will unlock the door to the greater assignments for you. Rise up, watchmen of God, and take your place in the heavens, for from that vantage point you will see the full picture of the enemy’s schemes and dismantle them with divine precision. The time for occupying your position of authority is now.

The Father says today that I rejoice in confusing the enemy of your soul. The enemy can’t wrap his mind around the course of action I am dictating in your life, because He doesn't understand My mind or My heart of love toward you. You do understand that the adversary is not all-knowing? His understanding is finite and he does have his limitations. I am mapping a path for you outside the parameters of the enemy’s understanding and cognition. He will have demonic committees caucusing for the sole purpose of trying vainly to anticipate My next move in your life. So rejoice, says the Father, when you are misunderstood and when others do not appreciate the course of action I am working in you at this time. The questioning you see in the eyes of others is a signal that Heaven’s strategy is working. Human rationale and comprehension will never grasp the Spirit-dictated path. The vaunted human intellect will not serve you in the high places of My Spirit. Prophet Russ - The Enemy is Confounded and Confused in His Strategy Against Me - Today! Do not allow your intellect to usurp My Lordship over your life. I sit and dwell in you as Lord in your spirit-man not your mental-man. Trusting Me involves trusting My mind and My understanding which is deeper and broader than your own. Follow Me and respond promptly to the tug of My Spirit in your inner man as I lead you out of the enemy’s camp into the ascendency of victory and destiny that I have promised you. This divine strategy is a testament to My faithfulness and a demonstration of My power in your life. I am leading you by a way you do not know, and in paths you have not known. I will make darkness light before you, and crooked places straight. These things I will do, and I will not forsake you. The plans of the enemy are designed to keep you in a state of confusion and fear, but My plans for you are for a future full of hope and prosperity. As you surrender your limited understanding to My infinite wisdom, you will walk in a supernatural peace that surpasses all comprehension. This is your season to transcend the natural and operate in the miraculous, leaving the limitations of the past behind.

The Father says today that there are not many traveling companions on the narrow path. In fact, there are times it will be just you and I alone. I created you to be a social creature, and it is true I set the solitary in families, but there is a season and an hour that you must push forward without the comfort of a circle of support. Know this, says the Father, that I will never forsake you and I will never leave you. I will reproduce Myself in you and give you inward strength when every outward resource is no longer available. I am the friend that sticks closer than a brother, more intimate than your nearest family member. In those moments that the isolation sets in, you will come to know where the idols in your heart are found. Go ahead and dig them up and eject them from your affections. I am a jealous God and will tolerate no other, says the Father. So despair not, neither question the winding unusual turns that you may take. Just know that I am here, and under My pinions you will never come to harm. Prophet Russ - I Will Go it Alone with God Only when Necessary - In Jesus' Name! This period of solitude is not punishment, but a divine appointment for a deeper connection with Me. It is in the quiet moments of your journey that I reveal My secrets and impart My wisdom. Do not mistake the lack of human company for a lack of My presence. On the contrary, this is a time for you to learn to lean wholly on Me, to hear My voice with greater clarity, and to be filled with My very nature. I am molding you into a vessel of honor, refining you in the fire of loneliness so that you may emerge with the pure gold of character. The path may seem lonely now, but it is leading you to a place of profound intimacy and unshakeable faith. I am preparing you for a future where your strength is not found in the support of others, but in the unwavering reality of My presence within you. Trust in the process, for I am at work, transforming your isolation into a foundation of spiritual power that will sustain you through all that lies ahead.

The Father says today, hold fast to the word of My promise over your life in this season. Your hopes, your dreams will not be handed over to the devil. You must begin to reclaim your blessing place now. I am on the move across the face of the earth. By My Spirit, I am sweeping across this land. Just as My great river flows near the center of the nation, bringing many streams together, so is My spiritual river flowing. As the river of My Spirit flows, I will pour out upon you and through you into many lives who are crying out for a refreshing from heaven. This spiritual water will flow into many places and lives in a remarkable way that won't be overlooked or missed. I will raise you up a leader to guide, instruct, and exemplify My righteousness in the earth, so stay open and keep seeking and obeying as I move you forward into your destiny. Prophet Russ - I Reclaim the Blessing Over My Life in Jesus' Name - Today! I will not permit darkness to win, for My light will blaze forth and consume the shadows. The grip of the adversary on this nation is being shattered, and a new season of divine justice and renewal is at hand. I am calling forth a faithful remnant of believers who will stand firm in their faith and declare My truth with boldness. This is a time of a great awakening, and I am summoning My people to rise up and embrace their role as intercessors and world-changers. The spiritual landscape of this nation is being reformed, and My glory will flood this land just as the oceans fill their beds. This move of My Spirit will not be contained; it will reach every corner of the nation and bring about a mighty reaping of souls. I am releasing My anointing upon those who are hungry for more of Me, and they will become vessels of My power and instruments of My peace. Brace yourselves, for the time of breakthrough has come, and you will witness My powerful hand at work in unprecedented ways.

The Father says today that if I place a priority on everyone getting what they deserve regarding their sins, errors, and mistakes, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Let Me give you a power word that will expedite every petition you ask of Me: "MERCY." Be merciful, says the Father, and I will display My mercy in your life. As you show mercy, so you shall receive mercy. I see the abuse and mistreatment others have heaped upon you. Give them mercy regardless. The time will come that I will deliver your enemy into your hand, says the Father. What next? My grace in your own situation will be defined by your own acts of mercy and heart of compassion toward those who set themselves against you. Love never fails, says the Father. Why act contrary to love, with the result that you will only continue the cycle of frustration you've been dealing with?  Prophet Russ - I Choose to Lavish My Love Even Upon the Undeserving - Today! Hold nothing back, says the Father. My hand is open to you to the same degree your heart is open, even toward the unthankful and those who look at you in indifference and disdain. Rejoice, says the Father. They would have ignored Me if they could have. I'm going to do a thing in your life that will spin their heads and cause them to gnash their teeth in envy. Not because I don't love them, but because I do love them and will demonstrate My love in YOUR life for them to see. Are you ready? Step out into your day today and love all day long today, no matter what! Remember, the measure you give is the measure you will receive. As you sow seeds of kindness and forgiveness, you will reap a harvest of blessings and peace. Your compassion will be a light in the darkness, and your love will break the chains of bitterness and resentment. This is your moment to rise above the fray and walk in a higher calling.

The Father says today that I am giving you fresh access to My empowering presence. The enemy is trying to distract you and stifle who I am in your life with mere opinions derived from hell itself. I say to you that it is time to lay aside the weight of what it looks like and what your mind wants you to accept as true. I don’t reign from your mind, I sit enthroned in your spirit man and declare My habitation from there. You are going to have to tell your mind to sit down and shut up, says the Father. I will never shout down a disobedient and spoiled mentality. As you quiet your mind and put your soul and emotions in check, you will enter into the conversation that I am already having with your spirit. You do understand that your spirit man (that part of you that is born again by My Spirit), your spirit man gets Me and understands how I think and what I’m going to do next? There is confusion among many because they can’t distinguish between My voice and the voice of their own inner man. Nonetheless, your inner being is aligned with Who I Am in your life and will communicate to you the resources of heaven to guide you through this challenging time. Set your affections upon Me, says the Father, and let go of all diversion that diminishes My glory on the inside of you. You will reap a dividend as you do so. You will experience even the quick work that I promised you I would do in your situation. Prophet Russ - I Choose to Align My Mind and Thoughts with What God Says and Nothing Else - Today! Your obedience in this moment is the key that unlocks the floodgates of My blessing. Do not be swayed by the clamor of the world or the doubts that arise from within. Say in yourself, "I will let this mind be in me that is also in Christ Jesus." I am your light in the darkness, your comfort in suffering, and your anchor in the storm. My Word surely is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. It's time to mature in spiritual things and to go deeper than ever before. I am calling you to a deeper level of intimacy, a place where My peace transcends all understanding and My joy is your strength. The counterfeit whispers of the enemy are designed to keep you from the abundance I have prepared for you. I am not a God of confusion, but of peace. I am not a God of lack, but of provision. I am your source, your shield, and your exceeding great reward. Stand firm in the truth that I am for you and not against you. The battles you face are not yours alone, for I am fighting on your behalf. Watch as I turn your trials into triumphs and your weaknesses into strengths. I will demonstrate My power and faithfulness in ways you cannot even imagine. This is your time to rise above the noise and walk in the fullness of your inheritance.

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.
