The Father says today, I am stripping away the false illusions of past misconceptions in your mind and in your life. Many of your dreams and visions were birthed in your heart at a time when this level of intimacy I am bringing you to was foreign to you and I'm about to change all that. I have opened the deeps of My heart, My kingdom and My Spirit to you this day, and now it is time to bring those aspirations and expectations of your spiritual youth out into the clear light of what I'm currently doing and saying in your situation. You honestly don’t think I am that small in scope as to limit you only by what you once dared to believe Me for? Dream a bigger dream! Have a bigger vision! Know this - that "Plan A" is still on the table and I am even at that capable of so much more. I am willing says God. I am willing to do so much more in your life than you have imagined in times past. This is a point of maturity for you, says the Father. This is a moment when I invite you – I personally invite you to step over into a whole new experience of walking with Me that you might inherit fully My more-than-you-could-ask-or-think promise in this very season you are living through.

Prophet Russ - My faith declares that the Almighty God is not limited by my past understanding but is actively revealing His greater plans for my life - Today!

I want to give you heart burn, says the Father. Not the kind you take medication for but the kind that the two on the road to Emmaus experienced as I walked with them in the way. I want to teach you. I want to draw out the line of your personal history and show you how in seasons past you thought I wasn’t present, but in fact, I was present, as close as hands and feet, nearer to you than the very breath of your body. I want to show you that those experiences that were so confusing to you from your past were not actually chaotic, but in reality, it was My hand moving at a depth and according to a scope you weren’t capable of measuring. What I am really saying to you, says the Father, is that you have known My acts and seen My hand, but now I want to show you My ways, and beyond that, I want to teach you My ways. I want to teach you My ways so that you can teach others and lead others out of the malaise of obscurity and insecurity that you have yourself experienced. So, get ready, says the Father – for newness of life has found you this day, and newness of joy beyond all your prior experiences.

The Father says today, do you need a favor? I am here in your life today to do you a favor. I have favors lined up for you all the way to the vanishing point of history! Do you need a favor? Ask, that your joy may be full. Ask and I will astonish you with what happens next. You do understand that with My favor comes a favor? In fact – let Me do you a favor right now and let you know that I have favors daily backed up for you from here to eternity. My intentionality is expressed in My favor and My favor is something connected with My ways and My acts and what I am currently saying and doing in your life right now. Do you need a favor? I’m waiting … go ahead – ask. Ask! You are going to have to ask Me, says the Father. You have hesitated to ask because you fear that you are asking and desiring something I don’t want you to have. How can I EVER correct you if you don’t come OUT WITH IT? Ask Me. Ask broadly. Ask presumptuously.

Prophet Russ - I boldly declare my unwavering faith in the boundless generosity of God! - Today!

I want you to ask so widely that you run right over all the religious ideas and preconditions of performance based mentality. I want you to dare to believe that I am who I say I am in the scriptures. I am dreaming about giving you houses you didn’t build. I am dreaming of you drinking of vineyards you didn’t plant. I am dreaming of you harvesting bounty that you never planted and never watered. I so enjoy blessing you that I am breaking all the rules men have set for Me as a boundary because they can’t stand the idea of just how willing I am to bless you. I am a giver, says the Father. I am far more a giver than the small minded, self-indulgent religious pygmies who want to talk you out of what the cross abundantly talks you into. I am bringing more favor into your life so you know that you have special consideration as a matter of policy from My throne. I am indulging Myself, says the Father, in blessing you so you will become confident, HIGHLY confident in who I am and what I am doing in your life!

The Father says today, I am not obsessed by sin. I am not thinking about your sin. I am thinking about the price that was paid so that your relationship with Me would be about WHO I AM and not what you did. I am not dealing with you in terms of your past. I am dealing with you and interacting with you and walking with you on the basis of who you WILL be as you manifest the fidelity toward Me that My grace makes possible. I am blessing you based on who you are BECOMING IN ME because of the cross. That isn’t what you’ve been taught, but know this – I am not bound by wrong ideas men have about Me and I don’t want you to be bound either. You have My permission to radically believe in My unconditional love. My promises are linked to who you are becoming – based on My promise.

Prophet Russ - I believe that God's promises for my life are not held back by my past, but are fully available to me - Today!

I am not hindered and My promises are not hindered by who you WERE yesterday or even 5 minutes ago. I am the God of time and eternity and I am stepping into your now to ameliorate the damage of your past and launch you into the reality of your potential in Me. This is My goodness. This is My favor. My favor toward you is extreme beyond any human metric. When you think about My favor, think about who I am and just how big I am. I created the universe that is so vast it cannot be measured just to give you a suggestion of the containment I have created for the favor that I am showing you. Trust Me, says the Father. My thoughts toward you are more than the stars of the heavens or the sand of the sea and every one of those thoughts flow out of unimaginable favor. When you are cast down – be of good courage. I am standing up. I am standing in the gap between your present and your future making sure that it is My grace that is filtering every negative influence so that the difficulties are falling away and the blessings are mounting up. Trust Me, says the Father, I have everything in hand. Know that there is nothing – no nothing of the enemy that can remain in your life because you have decided to radically and ridiculously put your confidence and your expectation upon Me!
