April 16: Hush! You must learn to quiet your mind and emotions so that you can establish yourself in the flow of My Spirit. There is too much noise in and around you, and that noise will hinder your ability to hear Me, says the Lord. Concentrate on getting silent inside, and listen intently for My instructions to you. It is the only way you can get on track spiritually. Zechariah 2:13 "Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"

April 17: There are things you have not understood with regard to where you are and what you can do. It is like pieces missing in a puzzle. Now, take the time to seek Me for wisdom and direction. I will show you that which has been elusive, but you must position yourself in neutrality so that My pure word to you is not skewed, says the Lord. Proverbs 8:6 Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, and from the opening of my lips will come right things.

April 18: Stand firm on your commitment and dedication to kingdom life. Things that undermine consecration abound, but you must set yourself apart for My plans and purposes. When everything around you pulls and exerts a force against sanctification, press in. Come close to Me, says the Lord. Let your light shine in the darkness. Luke 11:33 "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light."

April 19: Find the place where you have peace in your spirit and in your soul and make it a bulwark, a fortified place. Peace will be a guard against fear and worry. It will become a place of strength and confidence in My ability to give you wisdom and keep you safe, says the Lord. Be at peace with yourself and with everyone. Hebrews 12:14 Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord.

April 20: There are tasks that you need to perform that would be better accomplished if you simplified the process. Ask Me to show you how that can be done. I will lead you in the way of efficiency, which will give you hope and strength to get on with it, says the Lord. This action could give you the new beginning you long for. Psalm 25:4 Show me Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths.

April 21: Be steady as you establish yourself on a solid foundation of faith. My kingdom is sure. My word is truth. Your future is eternal. Take setbacks in stride knowing that they are temporary. I have a plan and purpose that is beyond what you understand at this time, and I will show you that what you are going through will usher you into My will and a higher level of spiritual growth, says the Lord. Trust! Psalms 119:27 Make me understand the way of Your precepts; so shall I meditate on Your wondrous works.

April 22: Beloved, you have now crossed the bridge of transition into the new season and entered through the door that opened to the path ahead of you. However, you have encountered fog so that you cannot see more than one step ahead of you. I tell you not to be afraid or allow the feeling of being unsettled to overtake you. You are in a place of silence, but that will give way to a time of purification and of preparation for what is ahead, says the Lord. Zechariah 2:13 "Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"

April 23: When you feel uncertain and undone, trust Me. I know the way you should go and what is best for you, says the Lord. And, I will prepare the way. Let Me lead you in perfect timing so that all of My will is accomplished in and through you. Put away all fear and doubt as you put yourself in My care. Proverbs 16:9 A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.

April 24: There are things you can do now that have been impossible in the past for a variety of reasons. The doors are opening and possibilities are presenting themselves for your consideration. Be sensitive to current opportunities to move beyond where you have been stuck. The days ahead must be taken one step at a time instead of one leap at a time. Prepare for a methodical and consistent process, says the Lord. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

April 25: Breakthrough is the hallmark of this season. But, you have to do your part by putting forth the effort to succeed. Instead of just allowing life to happen to you, move to the place where you make decisions that will benefit you both spiritually and naturally. Do not be a bystander as life passes you by, says the Lord. Rather, be a positive force in your environment. Psalm 143:10 Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God; Your Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.

April 26: Examine yourself to see if you are honestly trusting and believing that I will direct your steps. When you walk by faith and live in the Spirit, fear will be replaced by the assurance of divine order. I will prepare the path and lead you in the way you should go. Nothing is impossible with Me, says the Lord. Luke 1:37 "For with God nothing will be impossible."

April 27: You are on the right track, but you have to stay focused and have patience. Spiritual discernment is more vital than ever in finding your way in the current environment, which is unfamiliar and strange. Know that I am with you and will bring clarity and direction as you move forward, says the Lord. 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

April 28: Set yourself on the firm foundation of truth. Focus on that which is good and righteous in order to be strengthened. Every day you will have to choose between good and evil--spiritual strength and weakness. Deliberately make wise choices. Pay attention to the opportunities that present themselves to make positive decisions, says the Lord. Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live."

April 29: Embrace all that brings life and awakens you from spiritual slumber. I have given you the grace to endure difficulties and uncertainty, but much of what has burdened you is coming to an end and will give way to a season that can bring great joy and peace. However, you must let go of any grief that has prevailed or set a tone in your life. Let Me lift you up, says the Lord. Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

April 30: Trust Me to bring you along what seems to be a narrow and treacherous path. I tell you honestly that this path will soon take you to a new, rich and abundant plateau. Know that I am with you every step of the way and I will not allow you to slip or fall, says the Lord. Be sensitive to the leading of My Spirit. Psalm 17:5 Uphold my steps in Your paths, that my footsteps may not slip.
