Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
The theme for this years Daughter of the King Conference is “courageous”. I believe with all my heart that God is calling His daughters into “COURAGEOUS FAITH”. Over the last decade of DOK our Heavenly Father has been feeding us His word through so many amazing speakers and workshops. He has lavished His love on us, He has shown us who we are through our relationship with Him. BUT IT IS NOW TIME FOR US TO WALK IN COURAGEOUS FREEDOM.
I am so expectant of what God has for us this year in Slovenia. If you have not already registered for this years DOK Conference can I encourage you to do so today. God’s Word is powerful and it is His will that we walk in courageous freedom. God has a NOW WORD for you. I see with the eye of faith an army of courageous women standing up for RIGHTEOUSNESS, conquering and pushing back the powers of darkness over their families, churches, communities and nations. AMEN

What an amazing truth. The Creator of the whole Universe, the one who holds the whole Universe in the palm of his hand, delights in you and I. Not only does He delight in us, He rejoices over us with singing and He calms our fears. Meditate on this truth and all your fears, doubt and unbelief will fade into nothingness.

Song of Solomon 2: 11-13
“The season has changed, the bondage of your barren winter has ended, and the season of hiding is over and gone. The rains have soaked the earth and left it bright with blossoming flowers. The season for singing and pruning the vines has arrived. I hear the cooing of doves in our land, filling the air with songs to awaken you and guide you forth. Can you not discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you? The early signs of my purposes and plans bursting forth. The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere. The fragrance of their flowers whisper “There is change in the air.” Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and come away with me.” (The Passion Translation)
The above verse so encouraged me this morning and I had a real sense I needed to put it on our website. There are many of you out there who need this word right now. Be blessed and put your full trust in Jesus, He is the one who never lets you down.

Psalm 34:8 O taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed are they that trust in HIM.
When someone puts a plate of food in front of me and they say, “this is really good taste it” if I don’t actually pick up a fork and put some food on it and then put it in my mouth, I will never know that is tastes good. I have to actually get involved with the plate of food in front of me to know that it is good. When I go out for lunch which is not very often, I seem to always order the same thing! why? because “I know it is good”. in other words I want to be sure that I will enjoy my meal and not waste my money on something I don’t like.
It is the same with our relationship with the Lord, in Psalm 34:8 it says “taste and see” that the Lord is good. I believe we live in a season where it is paramount that we develop a deeper intimacy with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We can only get to know HIM more intimately if we spend time with Him, if we read His Word, if we sit and focus on Him. It is easy to get side tracked and begin to trust in what others say, or do or read etc. Don’t be like those who will taste everything but ignore the very best . Today, taste and see that the Lord is good. Put your trust in Him and you will be blessed. HIS WORD is table full of the most delicious food you will ever taste. Try it!!!

Last Saturday we had our Daughters of Hope “Making a Difference” Conference here in Australia and I had the privilege of being one of the speakers. We had a dance group that came and did a prophetic dance for us and it was called “Return to ME” it had such an anointing on it, I really feel this is a cry from our Heavenly Fathers heart; The Scriptures that the Lord had me speak from are in Revelations 2:1-4 verse 4 says “Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. the second scripture is from Revelation 3:15-16 So, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of My mouth.
This I believe is a NOW Word for many of His daughters, today is the day that He is saying to you RETURN TO ME
There are many reasons why we grow cold and lose our first love for God, it can be disappointments, unforgiveness, sickness, offences or circumstances. Today if you identify with this post, can I encourage you “Return to HIM”He is longing and waiting for you to fall in love with HIM all over again.
