Dear Friends, During worship this morning, I was overtaken by the Presence of the Lord. As I set my heart to listen, I heard Him whisper over and over, “I AM WITH YOU TO THE END!” Areas of doubt and unbelief seemed to vanish as His Presence saturated fearful places in my heart with His peace. Glory to God, there is nothing like the Presence of Jesus! Great reassurance surrounded me as Jesus spoke of His faithfulness and ability to guard the ones entrusted to Him, even to the very end. He is not leaving or abandoning His Body in these end times! He is with us now and will be with us to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:20). While I know these words are familiar to most believers, I cannot emphasize enough how reassuring and essential these words sounded at the time. As I continued to rest in His Presence, the Lord expanded my vision, revealing His heart for several groups of people in particular. These words are not simply meant to comfort the Body concerning the end times. They are meant to impart much-needed life, health, hope, and endurance. I encourage you to read through this word to the end to hear what the Lord might be saying to you! As that wonderful phrase “I am with you to the end” continued to resound and echo in my Spirit, I was comforted by Christ’s awareness of the end-time struggles we are facing worldwide. As one of my pastors once put it, “the Creator became a creation and did not exempt Himself from suffering.”* Jesus understands it all and is with us in it all. THE ELDERLY In this encounter, I first saw the Lord sustaining the elderly, whose bodies felt weary and weak. He was comforting those who wondered whether they could make it to the end of their journeys. I saw Jesus speaking and releasing fresh strength to the aged. His words sustained their physical bodies, invigorating them from within and forming an unbreakable shield around them. I felt a tangible reassurance that nothing could happen to them apart from His divine will. If this is you today, know that you are both eternally and temporally SECURE in Him, no matter how your body feels. THE SICK After this, I saw the sick, especially those who had been fighting long battles with illness. I knew beyond a doubt that the power of Christ to heal had not been nullified. Healing was still readily available! I sensed a great desire in Christ’s heart to PARTNER with those who are sick. Jesus has not given up on the afflicted, but in many cases the enemy has caused them to partner with unbelief through multiple medical diagnoses and delays. Yet in this case, the source of healing was not in the medical treatments. As the sick turned their hearts to the Lord, choosing to trust in His Word, healing began to manifest from the inside out. Spirits and souls realigned with the power of God’s Word, wisdom was released, and illnesses began to vanish. In this encounter, ancient, unchanging truths about healing came alive, not from an external source or outpouring, but from internal emotional restoration, which was the key to the physical manifestations. VISIONARIES & KINGDOM-BUILDERS Next, I saw many believers carrying God-given visions and assignments in their hearts. They had begun to work or build correctly, but progress had stopped. Right in the middle, it seemed that the vision had suddenly dried up; future steps were unclear. Here again, I sensed the Lord saying He was with them “to the end.” He was just as near to those stuck in the middle as He was at the beginning! Yet He was looking for visionaries to return their gazes to Him. I saw the Lord watching and waiting until visionaries’ eyes were redirected from the blueprints back to the Architect. The goal was not as important as the relationship! These builders were building legitimate, godly designs, but the Master Builder was also still building hearts. The Lord wants to hold builders’ hearts as tightly as builders hold to their visions. He will make adjustments as necessary, using “downtimes” as an incentive to return fully to Him. I heard the Lord say He will see each vision to completion as these builders continue to partner with Him, prioritizing the relationship over any previously-assigned tasks. THE “FORGOTTEN” & DISILLUSIONED Finally, I saw a group of people who had begun their spiritual journeys with great encounters, expectations, power, and deep experiences in God. However, the excitement of early days had diminished, and now they felt they were living in a dry spell. They wondered whether God had forgotten them. For some, this spiritual desert had lasted not for months, but for years. Hope was nearly gone and disappointment made these believers wonder whether they would ever experience God like that again. The enemy had used the opportunity to condemn, and it was tempting to give up completely. To this group of disillusioned ones, I heard the Lord say. “I AM FAITHFUL!” Christ’s faithfulness eclipsed any human failures or temptations. I knew that He was eager to restore and renew relationships to the depth each person would allow. I saw a beautiful transformation of hearts taking place as believers chose to take hold of their faith again, rejecting rejection and disappointment. They were reawakened to the fullness and vitality of God’s life within. HE IS ALPHA AND OMEGA Above all, in all these scenarios, the Lord highlighted the need for continued TRUST in Him to reach the desired end. When the end is not clear; when we feel stuck in the middle of a trial or a process, it’s not reaching the end that is important, but leaning into Jesus step by step, with wholehearted trust that HE is the Alpha and Omega. He will bring it all to pass! I see an anointing for ENDURANCE being released among believers today, a “finishing” anointing not based on personal grit or human resilience, but on PURE FAITH in the One who will be with us to the very end of our journeys. Like us, Jesus has suffered. He has been faithful and has overcome all. He is revealing Himself once again as the Mighty Warrior, Faithful and True, who embraces linen-clothed saints when they worship, then leads them into victorious war (Revelation 19:6-8; 11-14)! May the Overcoming One release fresh empowerment to you today to finish well, whether you are finishing your race, completing a vision, weathering a trial, or rebuilding your relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is with you to the very end! ~Deborah

For the past week, the Lord has brought me into several encounters concerning His deep desire to give members of His Bride both a VOICE and a VISION.
Many in the Body of Christ went through severe trials and testing prior to Passover. Many battled the devourer at the gates of destiny and were victorious. Those overcoming ones now stand at the threshold of a new season with new opportunities! I believe the Lord wants to establish you and pour out power and anointing you have not experienced before as you begin to advance and conquer more of your promised land. He wants you to have a voice and a vision! Hosea 14:7 NASBS Those who live in His shadow will again raise grain, and they will blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon. 
Early on this first day of Nisan 2025 (Aviv/spring on the Jewish calendar), I felt the burdens and heaviness of God’s people who have been walking through unexpected darkness and trials. The enemy has sent unrelenting pressure lately to weary many, causing some to doubt God’s goodness. If this is you, what once felt easy may suddenly seem tedious or overwhelming. You have little motivation; your soul feels dry and brittle. The battles with self and sin have drained you of energy, and the joy of prayer seems to have been snuffed out. To illustrate this, the Lord took me into a vision of the tabernacle as I prayed.
Dear Friends,
As I encountered the Father in prayer this week, I felt His desire to encourage those who are facing storms of opposition. I believe many people are walking through difficult situations where things seem intentionally set against them. These difficult situations may feel confusing or even unalterable; they do not seem like something God would do! Yet I hear the Father saying that there is a purpose behind the adversity. There's revival in the storms! As your heart remains guarded and trusting in Him, this opposition will strengthen parts of you that are weaker so that you are not hindered in the future. 
Dear Friends, Early last week, the Lord gave me what I believe is a corporate word for the Body of Christ to illustrate the times we are in and to encourage those who are waiting on the Lord for their next assignments. In prayer, I saw a vision of a relay race. The race had already started and some runners were running their circuit. However, those running were not the focus in this vision. Instead, Father focused my eyes on the runner next in line: the one waiting at the starting block. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Mark 11:23 ESV Jesus told her, “Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem… God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and truth.” John 4:21, 24 
Dear Friends, I often spend my sabbaths praying through the many personal prophecies God has given me over the years. This week the Lord asked me to go back to the very beginning, reviewing the words in chronological order while decreeing their fulfillment once again. We war with our prophecies and apart from the Scriptures, there are no better words to decree than the ones God has spoken directly to us! (1 Timothy 1:18) In the process, the Holy Spirit highlighted two words from March and July of 2020, saying: "These are 'now' words!" Although the recent exposures, deceptions, and refining in the Body of Christ have been difficult, there is a purpose. Truth exposes sin. Where sin embraces repentance, restoration begins. Those who have submitted to the Lord's fiery refining will be used as restorers. Yet as the prophetic words below indicate, knowing your "kairos" moment is essential. Circumstances may not look like you thought they would as you begin to move forward in this season. I hear the Lord saying to His purified ones: "Wait for the wave!" Dear Friends,
As this year draws to a close, I’m amazed at what God has done through His Inscriptions, thanks to your prayers and ongoing support! While "measuring" ministry effectiveness is not easy (how do you put a value on a changed life?), there are many things for which we can praise God. In 2024 we: My husband and I have a secret candy drawer in our home now, a recent addition. I found a little side table on a day trip we took a few months ago; it matched my office furniture perfectly, being from the same maker. Delighted, I refinished the table and set it up in our living room. 
Dear friends, For several days the Lord has urged me to release words of COMFORT for those who are struggling at this time. I believe there is a deep work of healing and restoration taking place in the Body of Christ to counter the brokenness and grief so many are feeling. I hear the Lord saying He wants to bring an end to present trauma and tears. This is a time to receive heaven’s comfort in exchange for your sorrow. 
Dear Friends, As I prepared to mentor a group of prophetic believers last week, I asked the Lord what His greatest desire was for them. In response, He said, “I want them to be WITH ME where I am.” (John 17:24) I sensed a deep longing in the Lord’s heart for His people - especially His prophets - to ABIDE in the hidden place where He lives, which is high above earthly chaos; far above palaces, politics, and powers. 
Dear Friends, As I encountered the Lord in prayer today, I felt great encouragement in the Spirit. I could see the battles raging in the Spirit, yet I heard the Lord say that in these times of turmoil, those who LISTEN will hear His voice LOUDER and MORE CLEARLY than ever before. The enemy's warfare is substantial; even relentless. Yet I saw that believers who responded with INSTANT OBEDIENCE to the words, strategies, or instructions the Lord gave personally would find places of DEEP REST and SUSTAINED STRENGTH that were available no other way. 
Would you like a copy of this poem to use in ministry? We now have 5.5 x 8" Prayer Cards with the prophetic poem above (front) and teaching scriptures on "God's Role in Your Healing Process" (reverse). These are a wonderful tool to use as part of an inner healing ministry. Available in the His Inscriptions Store. 
A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. "Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the GLORY OF THE LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." ~Isaiah 40:3-5 NASBS As I sought the Lord last week about this Fall season, the Father opened up a set of blueprints on a round table in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit spoke the words from Amos 3:7: “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” As the Holy Spirit spoke, a depression-era, cathedral-style wooden radio appeared in the Spirit above the blueprints. I heard the Father say the word: “BROADCASTS!” As He had said two years ago, the Lord confirmed that He intends to broadcast believer’s voices into many homes around the world to bring direction and reassurance in uncertain times. Believers are being raised up as prophetic evangelists, teachers, and creatives to BROADCAST a message of hope in Jesus through radio, television, and various other mediums. Despite censorship and broad-scale attempts of the enemy to MOCK or SILENCE God’s people, I hear the Lord encouraging His children to BOLDLY PROCLAIM the Word of God in this season. There is an open door in the Spirit to BROADCAST - to scatter abroad - His message by every available means! Some of you have a call to write books, create audio books, or start podcasts. Some have a call to broadcast truth through the arts or media. Others have a burning desire to write plays, musicals, or poetry that highlight God’s glory. NOW IS THE TIME to publish and proclaim what God has given you! There is a CREATIVE ANOINTING being released to birth these new expressions of His Word. As you sow your seeds, the Lord will activate them in their new destinations. Those who are “in tune” with the frequencies of the Holy Spirit will be set in place and “switched on” like that radio, releasing God’s heart to every generation. Dear Friends, In an unusual encounter during prayer this week, the Father took me into the kitchen of a house in the Spirit. He wanted to show me two insidious attacks the enemy was using to defile the Body of Christ. While I most often interpret ‘kitchens’ as places of prophetic preparation for ministry, in this case Father said the kitchen represented the “nerve center” of the home: the hearts and minds of believers. As the Father led me into the kitchen, I was horrified to see rats running about on the floors! 
Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood and has not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the LORD And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face - even Jacob. Selah. ~Psalm 24:3-6 NASBS Psalm 24 is a powerful psalm of David for the year 2024. It teaches us how to ascend above the chaos and collisions to enter into promised encounters with the Lord. Spiritual encounters happen more easily as we consecrate ourselves to lives of purity, rejecting rampant deception. Hebrews 12:22 also confirms that spiritual ascension is not a new-age concept but a biblical, mystical reality. God longs for you to live in the Spirit, experiencing heavenly places with Him! To help you ascend spiritually, the Lord asked me to take a prophetic word from 2021 and expand it into a book. The new 40 page book: CALLED TO ASCEND: A Prophetic Mandate to Soar in the Spirit, is now available on Amazon as a paperback and an e-book. I invite you to purchase a copy of the book to use in your personal quiet time or small group study. Each chapter contains study questions to help you apply the prophetic words to your life. The Lord urged me to send this particular book far and wide; please help me share the message with friends and churches who are seeking deeper encounters with the Lord. You can also leave a book review on Amazon, which helps boost its reach. Click on the image above or the button below to purchase. Thank you!
During a time of prayer last week, I felt a grieving in the Lord’s heart over the deep brokenness in the Body of Christ that has come from man’s abuses of authority.
Whether through past traumas or recent trials, many mighty warriors are processing wounds inflicted on them by misguided parents, pastors, or other leaders. These deceived authority figures are people who should have shown the way to the Father, but instead threw away the key to intimacy. Demanding undue honor themselves, they failed to honor the Lord and His precious Body. I also saw that some of the most fervent believers who were praying for the fullness of God’s glory and power to come to earth, found themselves surprised by opposition within their own hearts when that same power actually began to manifest! This opposition stemmed from wounds buried deeper than they realized. I heard the Lord say that the enemy’s strategy here is to use these old, hidden wounds around authority issues to reconnect you to the fear of trauma and even to resist the power of God as it begins to increase in your life! The Lord is longing to restore those who are hungry for His manifest Presence on the earth. He wants to rebuild the trust and intimacy that was lost, removing all barriers to seeing Him as He is: a mighty, all-powerful, and GOOD God.
Dear Friends,
God is so many wonderful things to the believer: Father, Deliverer, Friend, Protector, Refuge, and Savior. Through the gifts of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, God loves and guides us as we walk through the "wilderness" of this world on our way to the Promised Land of heaven! As I mediated on Psalm 68 and Numbers 10 this week, the Lord highlighted three particular attributes of Himself that He wanted me to share with you. He is a Cherished Husband, a Prophetic Guide, and a source of Rest and Refreshment at Rephidim. Listen to this audio teaching from our Leaders' Bible Study to discover beautiful prophetic parallels between Israel's encounters in the wilderness and the Body of Christ's journey today. Blessings, Deborah 
Dear Friends, Over the past few weeks I have been deeply moved by the heart of God for restoration and for the emergence of what is best described as a ‘Judges 4 Company’ of anointed Deborahs and Baraks. These believers are characterized by unusual partnerships with each other and with the supernatural. Before reading the rest of this word, I encourage you to stop and reread Judges 4 & 5 to familiarize yourself with the scriptures concerning this time period in Israel’s history, which closely parallels our own! |
