April 11, 2025- “Choosing to Abide”

Daily Prophetic Release

April 11, 2025

You must abide in My presence if you want to overcome the obstacles that the enemy places in your life. Abiding is a place of habitation not visitation.  Abiding in Me means that you seek out My heart for you and you make a way in your day to reside there.  Choosing My thoughts over your thoughts.  Taking captive the thoughts the enemy gives you and turning them into me as an officer turns in a prisoner. Choosing freedom instead of bondage.  I never called you to walk in bondage.  I’ve given you the right to stay bound in your free will choices.  You can choose to abide behind the prison walls that the enemy so longs place you in or you can abide in the freedom My Son died to give you.  You have a right to be bound or you have the right to be free in Me.  You can abide in My light and allow what I think about you to overshadow everything that has come to discourage you today.  You can rise above all the circumstances that worry you and you can overcome.  That’s the gift of opportunity that you have been given every second of every day.  You must choose to allow Me to free you and then you must choose to allow yourself to be free.  Next you must make the decision to come near to Me and abide with Me. For life is a series of choices and decisions that take place in every moment of every day you live.  Abiding is no different My beloved.   When you make a conscious decision to abide in Me it will take your full devotion to this choice and you will have to take steps to stay there.  These steps to deciding to abide can only begin through knowing My love for you which is deeper than the ocean, wider than the expanse of the earth and My thoughts outweigh every negative thought that you will ever have.  The decision is to draw near and let go of what you have allowed to hold you down and begin to trust in My goodness.   In abiding in My presence which I offer you, you will find security for your walk. For My child it is not in My presence that you sin.  It is when you choose to step out of My presence to make decisions that do not align with My heart that sin creeps in and the enemy has a door to bring torment into your life.  Abiding is the safest place you can be and it is what I offer you today and everyday in My undying love for you.  Yes,  I love you and I create a space tucked away in My presence daily for you to rest and bear much fruit in your life.  Come join me, let Me love you. 

“If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.”

John 15:7-9, 11 ESV

Prayer to Release:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the safe space that is created for me to come and draw near to you and abide in you daily.  Thank you that your heart is for me and it is a place of protection to walk through my day without the emotional attacks of the enemy constantly coming against me.  Thank you that there is a place in you where I can begin to sit and to stay and to reside that is not bound with guilt and shame.  Thank you that your son died to give me freedom, to liberate me from the enemy.  Thank you that Jesus has given me the keys to victory though the decision to abide in your presence.  Help me to see clearly today the areas of my life where I am walking away from the opportunity to abide instead of walking into the opportunity for your presence which is freedom. Let me see your love and may it speak louder than any voice of the enemy that seeks to overthrow my life.  For it is in your presence that I know I can experience the fullness of joy today.  Thank you that as I abide in you I will not only rest, not only be protected but also will produce much fruit for your kingdom and have the opportunity to bring glory to your name.  Thank you for your presence and your precious Son whom I am so in love with.  Amen 🙏🏻
