The call is going out. Discerners arise! Put on your glorious garments!
You are freed from shame.
‘Awake, awake, Zion,
clothe yourself with strength! Put on your garments of splendor, Jerusalem, the holy city. The uncircumcised and defiled will not enter you again. Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned, Jerusalem. Free yourself from the chains on your neck, Daughter Zion, now a captive.’ Isaiah 52:1-2 NIV
The residue of darkness is slipping away.
Burdens that were never yours to keep have fallen off your shoulders.
New hope is stirring.
You are breaking loose of restrictions!
- Past limitations have been cut off your life.
Now, you are walking in grace and glory.
See yourself full of the Holy Spirit, walking confidently as a son, a daughter, with grace and authority.
It’s time to rejoice again.
You are seeing through the clouds to the light. You are seeing past what the enemy is doing, to the heart of the Father and His intention.
You are walking in love.
The Holy Spirit within you is patient and kind. God’s love within you does not boast; it is not proud.
This love does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
God’s love within you does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (Based on 1 Cor 13: 4-8a, NIV)
You are free from that demonic strategy that has been against you—that one that tried to hold you back from love.
Courage is rising within you.
The enemy may have tried to rob you of the fullness of your calling, but that assignment has been cancelled at the cross.
Jesus has purchased your freedom once and for all by His shed blood.
- That blood answers every accusation; not a single one can stand.
Now, it’s time for you to experience the full manifestation of your freedom and release.
‘Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.’ (Isaiah 60:1 NIV)
A Quick Hi from My Desk
Happy New Year everyone! I pray today’s brief word of encouragement and exhortation inspired from Isaiah 52:1-2 and other Scriptures stirs you to lift your heart, head and hands.
No matter what you see around you or ahead, the Lord is your light and your salvation. He is working on your behalf.
Wow, it’s sure been difficult re-orienting into a new year of work, but I have been freshly inspired this week, and have just added two brand new videos on the topic of prophetic decrees to the Enliven School of Intimacy and Prayer. You can find our online courses here.
Discernment can Propel You Into an Encounter with God’s Glory
The gift of discernment of spirits is a powerful weapon in times of spiritual warfare, and can be of great assistance when ministering freedom to individuals.
- And those with a gift of discernment have the extraordinary privilege of being able to perceive the Spirit’s anointing!
Yet many who have the gift of discernment have difficulty knowing what to do with what they are feeling or sensing.
In this recently updated third edition, I have added a chapter on five specific spiritual attacks discerners face and how to overcome each one. I have revised other chapters, added new content and finished with an inspirational chapter on how the gift of discernment can propel you into an encounter with God’s glory.
‘Unlocking The Gift Of Discernment’ incorporates wisdom from Enliven Blog as well as additional valuable material on how to be protected as a discerner in times of spiritual warfare.

Hi Veronica, you are His beloved <3
I just received your January blog. It is strong confirmation and meshes perfectly with another prophetic word I received from the Lord for 2019. How awesome and faithful is our God! He is doing this; bringing us forward in the purpose and place of His calling. So blessed to be one of His children! Thank you for your faithfulness. Blessed every time I hear from you.
Thanks so much Enliven. I now see the light after the storm. You God sent into my life.
Hi and praise Jesus Hellen…this word is timely and indeed meant for me…have been following your prophetic decrees and they speak to my life directly. I pray God keeps revealing himself to me deeper through you. Am blessed. I request for your prayers..I have been in debts and am being threatened and I haven’t had a breakthrough to settle the debts. I trust God for provision even as I seek to settle the debts.
Thank you Helen
Sorry to hear about the debts Stanley, praying with you now for your breakthrough and wisdom
Your message has been an encouragement to me. I’m ready to walk in the light and my gift of discernment. I will continue to pray and look to the hills from whence cometh my help.
