My children, today is the day of redemption and renewal. I want to rekindle your flame, add wood to your fire, and let it blaze. Today I want to rise up those of you who thought you should just lay down and let life pass you by.

Today I will resurrect you who are willing to let Me do just that, raise you from the dead and give you new life. I am pushing those in the direction for which they have been called. Those that I have called I will equip.

Close your ears to the voice of the enemy that says to you that you are unable to do what I have called you to do. Open your ears to My voice and listen to what I have to say and the direction I want you to go. There should not be any questioning in what I say, only obedience.

When you question what I am asking, you open the door a crack for the enemy’s voice. You need to know that I will not ask you to do something that I would not be right there with you to help you through it. There is always a plan and purpose for what I ask you to do. When you hesitate and question what I am doing you are delaying and hindering My plans. This not only affects you but those who are involved in what I am trying to accomplish. Not enough of you, My children are thinking of others or allowing their drive and desire for Me to the forefront of your lives.

Today I am going to raise up those drives and desires. I am going to fuel the fires that have been simmering inside of you to a full bonfire of My Holy Spirit. You will know that today I have touched you and you shall become whole once again as you open up to receive. I am going to use this fire to drive out every piece of lethargy that hangs and lingers inside and around you. I am going to use this fire to burn out the lies, hurts, fears, and darkness and to purify, refine, and completely renew.

You shall see those who you thought were on their last leg rise up again and fulfill what I have asked them to do because they will make their decision today to open up and receive. They will accept the missions, directions, callings, and anointing that I have for their lives and not the ones that they have wanted on their own. Do not be one of those that miss out on what I am doing for today.

Too many of My children have been self-appointed in areas that I do not want them in at this time. They are doing things their way and that is not My will. I want them to step into their full destiny in Me so that they do not miss out on this big movement that is about to burst out wide.

The dam is about to break and My living waters are about to flow once again. You must be ready when this happens so that you can flow with the river and not be taken out. Enter into the redemption and newness that I have for you this day. Walk out of all the things that you have had planned and enter into My plan all the way. Rise up from your laziness and slumber.

Quit putting off the things that I have already asked of you. Quit putting off going in the direction that I have been called you in. I have given you what you need and you are ready. Rise up today and take the first step of faith. Rise up and move in the right direction and quit sitting in the spot of staleness and allowing the enemy to destroy you with lies and tear you down.

Today I am building up. I am building you up to stand and the fire to burn inside of you bigger than it ever has before. Your desire to follow Me will increase as you allow Me to feed your faith and bring forth the things that I have said shall surely happen. Open your eyes to see what works I have already done for you. Open your eyes and let Me show you what awaits for you. Rise up from your place of death and become alive in Me once again. Stand up and be redeemed by the blood of My son and walk in the sonship adoption that I have given you at the price of My son’s life. Receive My love and walk in all that I have for you to walk in.

Open up and receive all that I have for you. Do not let this pass you by. Receive My children. Receive the newness and rise from the dead. This is a new life that you shall receive in Me. There is so much that is about to happen, a breakthrough like none have seen or heard. Do not be one that is still broken and laying down ready to die. Become alive in Me once again. Become alive and walk in the destiny and fulfill the assignment that I have given you. Stand up and receive all that I have to give you today and become alive with fire in Me again. Become redeemed and be renewed in Me.

Leviticus 11:44-45 (NIV)44 I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves along the ground. 45 I am the Lord, who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.

Isaiah 51:4 (NIV)4 “Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: Instruction will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations.

Proverbs 29:18 (NIV)18 Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.

Isaiah 1:16-20 (NIV)16 Wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. 17 Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. 18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. 19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land; 20 but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

Micah 6:8 (NIV)8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Romans 12:1-2 (NIV)12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Ezekiel 36:26-27 (NIV)26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

Galatians 5:19-24 (NIV)19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

Hebrews 13:20-21 (NIV)20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
