This word from the Lord came on July 13, 2026:

“You are the epitome of Me. What does this mean? Why do I use this word – epitome?

“You, My People, are the end and beginning of Me. Yes, of the Lord your God who has no end nor beginning. This indeed is a mystery. I shall unravel it for you.

“I made mankind as the height of My creation. As the epitome of My creation and My Glory. Mankind came at the end of My creation. And with mankind came the beginning of the heights of My creation. For mankind drives the success – or failure – of My creation according to his deeds before Me.

“You say this is hard to understand? Look around you for immediate validation of these words. Look to the falling and degradation of nations who do not follow Me, the Lord God. Look to My Chosen Israel. How well did they live as they followed Me? How far did they fall when they did not? It is no different today. I promised Israel, and I promise all My People today: when you repent to the Lord your God as a nation, I hear the prayers, forgive the sins, and I WILL HEAL THE LAND. Do you fully comprehend this promise? Creation, the very land and sea and air around you, succeeds or fails according to the actions of the people who live within it. In the garden long ago, when man fell to Satan’s deceit, all creation fell with him. What a travesty! My perfect creation, falling under the taint of sin – and not due to its own doing. Mankind – the epitome of Me – fell from glory, and took all creation with him.

“I want you to think on this mystery, My People. I want you to take this knowledge and Truth a step further, as you would say. Mankind’s behavior, evil or good, affects the very earth and creation. Now then, My People, how does this Truth lead you to remain in doubt that you, working alongside Me, have immediate power over creation? You saw it in the Bible. You see Jesus walk on the water – and Peter do likewise, simply because he asked. Until doubt overcame him. I, Father God of all creation, tell you, My People, that you have the power over creation in time of great need. Is a storm barreling down upon you? Stand against it. Cry to the heavens that it shall not be so. Is a flood headed for you? Declare it shall not rise. Is fire threatening to consume your home, your territory? Say to the fire – you shall not come!

“Yes, My People who follow My will, this is your Authority and Power under My Name – authority given to you for your own protection and your furthering of My Kingdom on earth. My People on the Earth, called by My Name and walking in My will, lack NO POWER over any part of creation. You must rise up in this Truth. You must rise up in understanding of all the Authority and Power I have given you, My ekklesia. In the days ahead you will be called upon to walk in this power, to declare it to the heavens. And the heavens will hear and obey, as they did in the days of My Jesus.

“Search out this Truth in My Word, My People. Note how many times creation obeyed the word of a righteous man. My People – those who live for Me and walk with Me daily – lack none of My Power. Remember My servant Paul’s words to you: you are seated with My Jesus Christ in the Heavenly Places. And where He sits is far above all other rule and authority in the earth and skies. Live in this Truth. Believe in this Truth. Prepare your hearts to walk in it, for surely your Faith regarding it shall be needed.”

Notes:

Genesis 1:26-28: Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image,in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

II Chronicles 7:14: And [if] My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 

Deuteronomy 28:1, 8: Now it shall be, if you diligently obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today… the Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in all that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you. 

Mark 11:22-23: And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.”

Some examples (not a complete list) of man commanding nature in the Bible:
—
Exodus 14:15-16, 21: Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward. As for you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land…Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord swept the sea back by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land, so the waters were divided. 

Exodus 17:5-6: Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.” And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

Joshua 10:12-13: Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, “O sun, stand still at Gibeon, and O moon in the valley of Aijalon.” So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.

Elijah 17:1: Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, surely there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.”

II Kings 2:13-14: [Elisha] also took up the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan. He took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him and struck the waters and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the waters, they were divided here and there; and Elisha crossed over.

II Kings 6:4-7: So Elisha] went with them; and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees. But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.” Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And when he showed him the place, Elisha cut off a stick and threw it in there, and made the iron float. He said, “Take it up for yourself.” So he put out his hand and took it.

Matthew 14:24-29: But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

Ephesians 1:20-21, 2:4-6: [Father God] raised [Jesus] from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come…But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

This word came on July 10, 2026:

7/10/26: “‘To thine own self be true.’ The self I made you to be.

“What is your ‘self’ in your own hands? Will the essence of you be true to the purpose for which I have created you? Or will it – you – be thoroughly tainted and stained by the ways of the world? Your true ‘self’ is only found in Me. I alone KNOW exactly who and what I created you to be. You could not imagine your God-given destiny using your own rational mind. You could not imagine the creativity of an all creative God spun into the YOU I designed you to be.

“Therefore, do you see the lies in this worldly saying over all people – ‘to thine own self be true?’ What is Truth, where is Truth except in the Lord your God? The Truth of YOU shall never be found, shall never be lived out, without the Lord your God, your destiny-maker and creator.

“Do you see, do you reckon, the lies within this statement? It is such a common saying – meaning that each person should pursue his or her own ‘truth’ in order to find happiness and purpose. There is no true ‘purpose’ or ‘happiness’ without God.

“So – do you want to indeed be true to the SELF I made you to be? Then follow Me. Ask Me to help you lead the life I have designed for you. To walk the path I have laid for you. You cannot do this without Me. You cannot be truly successful without Me. What is ‘success’ but the lifetime pursuit of following the Lord your God? If you look to the world’s definition of ‘success’ you shall indeed be deceived. For the earth, covered by the lies of your enemy, cannot speak the Truth of this.

“I come to set you free. Free from yourself and your own earthly, unworthy, and unrighteous pursuits. Pursuits that only lead you further down the wrong path – the path that your enemy has laid for you. Yes, that enemy who hates you. Who leads you to destruction – here on earth and for eternity. Is following such a voice ‘true?’ Can any part of your enemy’s leading be My Truth? You must redirect your thoughts and understanding. Any plan on earth following only ‘self’ is not of Me. You might as well take out that word and replace it with the words ‘your destructive enemy.’

“Yes, I call to you, those on earth who have chosen not to know Me – even though I have known you before your birth. I call out to you and ask you a simple question, a question that can even be answered according to your own human rationality. How well has your following of your own ‘self’ worked for you? Has it brought you a life of full abundance as I promise in My Word? Or has it led you to pay the price for many wrong decisions? I can turn your life around. Yes, even right now at this moment. All I seek from you is a YES. I do not force Myself upon you. I have always given you the choice. To what end have your choices brought you thus far?

“I will say again as plainly as you need – your true ‘self’ abides only in Me. You will never know the heights, the joys, the accomplishments planned for you, laid out for you – unless you follow My Plan for your life. Every moment you continue to follow your own way is a moment in the wrong direction of your ‘self.’ Take a good hard look at this. Reflect on what I AM telling you. I AM ever waiting for your word of invitation to Me. Just come to Me. Learn to trust ME – not yourself. How trustworthy, how powerful is any human compared to the BOUNDLESS, ENDLESS God who created you? This is not a hard question. You only make it so.

“There is GREAT TRUTH here for you, all you lost and restless ones. Do not turn aside from it. Learn to LIVE with Me. Just COME. Come. Come to Me.”

Notes:

Psalm 139:13-17: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!

Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born I set you apart.

Psalm 100:3: Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

“This is your graduation, My People. A graduation from what you used to be to what you will now become. A graduation speaks of recent learning. A graduation speaks of a new level of understanding and wisdom. Yet true Wisdom comes only from Me. A graduation is not simply a closed door. On the contrary, it celebrates a greatly opened door – a door to new beginnings and new accomplishments, based on what you have now learned. And so, My People, I invite you to your graduation ceremony with Me.

“So where do we go from here?

“I have so much more for you than you could ever imagine. Have you asked Me of My plans for your immediate future and days far ahead of you? Is your path with Me clear, or are you still wondering where I AM taking you? Come to Me. Speak with Me. Ask for My guidance – for your tomorrow and your distant future. And in the meantime, obey Me in what I ask you to do today. Today – every day – I have plans and tasks for you in My Kingdom. Perhaps there is someone I need you to speak with, to take to them My Truth. Perhaps there are issues for which I need your prayers, your declarations of victory for My Kingdom. I always call you to Love those around you. I always call you to be kind and generous, to be long-suffering and patient. In all of these things I AM forever with you.

“Is your day filled with Joy? It can be. Is your day filled with Wonder and Awe of Me? It should be. These are gifts I have for you despite current circumstances. These gifts are a ‘rising above.’ A Victorious outlook on all that you may be facing. For you face these things not alone, but with the Great I AM.

“Look to Me at all times. All times means ALL TIMES. Is it not a wonder to you that the Great I AM of all creation is interested in every moment of your day? That nothing within your heart is too small an issue to bring to Me? The Truth is – I long to be part of your every second, of every aspect of your life. For I know every aspect of your life. I have already seen it unfold. Would you not want Me, in My Wisdom, to accompany you through these moments?

“Think on these things. There is great Light and Wonder for you within their understanding. A Revelation of a lifetime – and eternity. Such is the Power and Wonder of your God. I move mountains and oceans, clouds and soil as I will. Most of all, I am interested in YOU. Most of all, I want YOU to feel My Hand of Blessing and Guidance upon you at all times. Herein lies your Victory and unsurpassed Joy.

“Test Me on this. You will see. I will not cease to amaze you. Amen.”

Philippians 3:13-14: Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
