Heaven responds when we are pressed into battle, go beyond ourselves, and join with the Lord, praying and prophesying what He says and sees with our fellow believers' unified, as One with His firey voice of glory overshadowing all earthly matters.
We saw it in the elections! We contend in the faith and can never grow complacent or lukewarm!
Miracles increase when the hearts of God’s people humble themselves, repent, and cry out! Voices and trumpet calls go forth in faith to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. Despite the impending wars, division, chaos, calamity, and deceptive controls, we hear the voice of our Lord at times speaking, roaring, whispering, and breathing on the sons of God. Are we listening yet?
Heaven’s roar is clear to those with an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Living God says. This year holds untold opportunities, many answered prayers, and the cries of many hearts if we arise to walk obediently in His fullness, not growing weary in well-doing nor fainting in the heat of this fiery battle. Revival fires spread when we carry revival in our hearts.
Our Lord Is One! We Are Learning Oneness.
Deut. 6:4 ‘The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.’
Jesus was asked many questions. We have not because we ask not. What should you be asking? In John 12: 28-34 “Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”
John 28:29 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Then Jesus told him this: 34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.”
The Keys Are Now In Our Hands
Our Heart Has Been Made Ready To Believe
Look back in your life and remember the epiphany of that moment you realized how, before, we ‘just didn’t understand what He is saying.’ Then, He takes you up! Rev. 4:1 says, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” He invites us into His Throne Room to see what He sees. Heb. 4:16 invitation, read it and live it! As One with Him, we are learning our supernatural identity to walk in the authority given to us by Jesus Christ. (See Matt. 28:18)
What does it mean when we read this? ‘We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.’ This year will be one of great preparation and seeing how to pass through the ‘eye of the needle.’ There will be a third great awakening, and preparations are well underway as He works His mysteries astoundingly!
These swirling, dark storms, while several regional wars could see WW3 ignite, we declare that disaster can be averted when God’s people pray. Our hunger for the Lord determines how intimately He will meet us. There must be a death to the old mindsets for us to be made a new wineskin. This year, many will see that the waiting and the weight of troubled perseverance are over! “His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.”
Psalms 139:14 “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.” Eph. 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
It is like being on an airplane on a dark rainy day on the ground, but after takeoff, the plane rises above the clouds to the open skies shining clear and ever so bright in the sunlight or the deep jet-black, starry sky.
For many, this year will see you rise from the ashes into His beauty of holiness in fresh, bountiful ways to impact all those around you as they see your Christ-like example in your lives, not just your words.
We need to allow the Lord to show us how He sees us so we can move into this remarkable season ahead. 2 Cor. 3:17-18 shows us how.” Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
We should learn from throughout history that the greatness that shines for posterity that arises in a man or woman or a nation often occurs during times of great disaster, crisis, illness, death or near-death experience, economic collapse, plague, or war. Because He trusts us we must face many onslaughts simultaneously. Choose to be His lighthouse of wisdom, heavenly simplicity, and truth!
These opportunities for taking YOUR stand, YOUR promised land, abound around us and the whole earth. We are alive in the most exciting and perilous time in history.
Isaiah 60:1-5 “Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. 5 Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.”
