There is an almighty battle going on in the spiritual realm at the moment, more fierce than we have know in the past. The enemy knows that we are on the brink of something new and he is angry, there for he is throwing as many obstacles across our path to try and prevent us from moving forward into a new day, a new season.
1 Peter 5: 8-9 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
If you are struggling today and you feel like there is tidal wave coming against you, it is simply the enemy trying to devour you; don’t listen to him, he is liar and he is a defeated foe. STAND FIRM ON THE WORD OF GOD. one little roar form the Lion of Judah (Jesus) and the enemy runs for cover.
Listing to the devil will rob you of your joy, sap your energy and stops you from doing what God has prepared for you. We are only weeks away from the Daughter of the King Conference and I know that we are heading into a NEW DAY/NEW SEASON, the devil knows it too; pick up your sword and STAND. If you have not yet registered, do it now.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS, SIT IN HIS PRESENCE, LET HIM SEARCH YOUR HEART SO HE CAN REVEAL IF THERE IS ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT GIVES THE ENEMY PERMISSION TO HARASS YOU.
Father I pray that every person who reads this will have a fresh revelation of the schemes of the enemy and that they will know in their spirit that YOU ARE SOVEREIGN.

“I can because HE enables me”

This morning the Lord dropped a word into my heart, and I instantly knew that I had to put it on our blog today. the word is “Tell my daughters they will never experience contentment until they stop trying to be like someone else. I made you the way I made you and that is who you are meant to be. Trying to be like someone else or wishing you were different is an insult to Me. If you will repent and accept who you are, accept where you are you will experience contentment. Have I not said to you I will always provide for you, have I not said I will never leave you or forsake you. I delight in you and when you delight in ME and delight in who you are, it will be well with your soul. Trust ME.”
Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. If this word has spoken to you, then meditate on the above verse and keep on meditating until you actually believe it and then you shall be content and you can utter the words of the well known Hymn “it is well with my soul”.
I am praying for you to have a revelation of your true beauty in Christ.
Love always
Grethe

For a while now I have found myself saying these words “the enemy is defeated, God knows it, I know it and satan knows it” I would say this when I was praying into different situation, my family, DOK etc. Then the other morning when I was sitting on my verandah having a cup of coffee and just looking at the trees enjoying my Heavenly Father’s company, I felt like He said to me, this is what you need to tell my daughters “THE ENEMY IS DEFEATED, I (GOD) KNOWS IT, I (you) KNOW IT, and satan knows it”, as I pondered this I realised that when we talk about demonic stuff happening in our lives we refer to it as being under attack, if we are under attack then we need to defend ourselves, but if satan is a defeated foe, then we do not need to defend ourselves, we need to attack him!!!!! how do we attack him, by DECLARING GODS WORD, satan has to flee when we quote God’s Word.
Ephesians 6:10-18 talks about the Amour of God. I want to draw your attention to verse 10 and 11 “Finally be strong in the Lord an in His mighty power. Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” note it does not say “put on the armour of God, so that you can defend yourself” NO it says ” TAKE YOUR STAND“.
satan can only attack you if you give him permission, he rely’s on you being defensive instead of standing on the truth of God’s Word.
Can I encourage you today dear Daughter of the king to TAKE YOUR STAND; tell the devil “YOUR ARE A DEFEATED FOE, MY GOD KNOWS IT, I KNOW IT AND YOU KNOW IT”.

REVELATION OF WHERE WE ARE AT IN GODS TIME FRAME.
While I was having a shower today I found myself thinking about the Star Wars movie Andrew and I went to see a few days ago. It just reminded me of the spiritual war that is raging all around us. In the movie it appears like evil is winning, and it is looking more and more hopeless for the good side. BUT SUDDENLY there is a point in the movie where ONE person from the good side says “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” she rises up in righteous indignation, she is willing to risk everything for the sake of GOOD. All the others that are on the GOOD side tell her, “no we cant win, they are too strong for us there are too many of them. She persuades a small remnant to fight with her: SUDDENLY the tide starts to turn, and it is beginning to look like, just maybe they could win, so many others now join in the fight for good and the movies ends with HOPE.
It was like the Lord was showing me that, that is where we are in the timeline of history. God has said ENOUGH is ENOUGH, we are now entering into that part of history where the tide is turning and the POWER OF GOD is going to be seen. I meditated on this for some time and then I felt the Lord say to my heart.
“The LION OF JUDAH has begun to roar, the WIND of the SPIRIT is blowing, THE ARMY OF GOD has assembled, THE TRUMPET HAS BLOWN. GODS PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP. The dry bones are becoming flesh. The finest hour in the whole history of mankind is upon us. Stand still and see THE SALVATION GOD. OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR EARS TO SEE WHAT GOD IS DOING. Don’t listen to doom and gloom; focus on what I AM DOING. STAND ASIDE AND SEE WHAT I WILL DO IN THIS NEW SEASON”.
The scripture that comes to my mind is Ezekiel 37:9-14
Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ”
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet—a vast army.
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’
12 Therefore prophecy and say to them: ‘this is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13Then you, my people, will know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the LORD have spoken, and I have done it, declares the LORD.’ ”
Be blessed until my next blog
Love you

I have such a sense that we are entering into a new season and it is not by mistake that our theme for this years Daughter of the King Conference is “A New Day”. Isaiah 60:1 says “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. This is a word for us right NOW at the beginning of 2017. As we arise and start to declare this verse over ourselves and speaking it out into the atmosphere we will usher in this new season in our own lives and it will impact us in a positive way.
We do not realise the POWER there is in Gods Word. It is full of promises, promises that we never claim because we don’t read His word and we don’t take hold of what it says. When God created the world, He spoke it into being, we are made in His image, therefore I believe we can enter into a greater authority, build God’s Kingdom here on earth by SPEAKING out and declaring His word.
verse 2 of Isaiah 60 says “See , darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His Glory appears over you”. verse 3 “Nations will come to your light, and Kings to the brightness of your dawn. We only have to watch the news to see that darkness covers the earth, evil is everywhere we look, and darkness is over the people (fear); This is our time to ARISE and to SHINE because when we do ARISE God’s Glory appears over us and those who are in darkness (fear) will be drawn to us.
Will you join me in declaring?
“I declare a new day, as God’s light shines on and through me”. AMEN
ARISE, SHINE, FOR your LIGHT has come, and the GLORY of the LORD RISES upon you.
You may need to repeat this over and over until you feel yourself arising. Make a choice today that God’s Word is going to be your new diet for this year.
Love and blessings
Grethe
