Restoring Family & Community
The Lord says,
I Am taking keen pleasure in My people. I Am dwelling on family intimacy – playing altogether, laughing together, cooking together, eating and drinking together. My pleasure is on families and family unity today. I Am moving with healing balm that will be a salve to wounds and and will mend fissures and stitch families back together.
I Am moving to restore the joy to families. I Am moving to remove this lie of satan that families and marriage and parenthood are a drag. These are the essential elements of My Kingdom – you, My people. I created you for enjoyment, connection, laughter, fun and as builders – of community, of many new things.
I Am not only moving to mend families, but I Am moving to create safe places. I Am moving to return safety and community to neighborhoods. I Am moving for freedom’s sake. So kids can run from house to house and there is no fear and no worry by parents – because of the unity in Christ and the safety of the community.
I Am moving to rebuild cities and downtowns, to reignite local businesses and restaurants and meeting places. This is a season of rebuilding, of renewing, restoring and creating things that are new – that are better than what was there before – things that serve the community, serve and foster connection, and create beautiful and convenient experiences for people. I’m creating outlets for fun and enjoyment.
Green Renaissance
The Lord says,
This is a great time of rebuilding of refreshing of restoring, and of Renaissance. New concepts, new developments, new businesses, services and products will be born. There is a sustainability element that runs through all of these. These are family businesses, these are healthy businesses that bring pride to the owners and joy to the user/consumer/customer. There is an environmentally sustainable element to it as well – a great unlocking of truly environmentally sustainable products and methods will be a part of this season. And it will be the new way of doing things. The new normal.
There is a big nature element in all of this. Connection to nature, connection to creation will be an important aspect in all of these new developments.
Healing will come with these new approaches and these new methods with these natural and elemental aspects. It will be a move away from toxic chemicals and processes – in food, in cleaning products, in everyday use products. In everything. There is a new movement toward renewable resources and sustainable, environmentally friendly and environmentally derived products. Products will be developed that only serve their intended purpose and have no negative side effects. In fact, they may have positive side effects because of these natural elements.
This is a new day. This is a wholesome, holistic movement. And there will be more enjoyment, and life will seem less hectic, less anxiety ridden – in part because we will not be overridden by these toxic chemicals, and in part because of societal choices to slow down and enjoy life. It will look very different.
The Lord says,
I Am planting seeds already. I Am growing these ideas inside of people – for these sustainable products. I Am preparing the way for this sustainable, creative movement. I Am providing ways, releasing understanding and wisdom and strategy on how to detox the earth, how to reverse engineer and un-create/remove plastics and other valuable but toxic elements that have served their purpose but left much much damage in their wake. I Am giving wisdom on how to break these down, to cleanse the earth and for new sustainable and biodegradable products to replace them.
This will be a true green revolution. This will be about true sustainability and not a political agenda. This will be born out of love of creation and not fear. This will bring real solutions, not bad science and hand wringing. I make all things new. (Revelation 21:5) And I say that this is a new day.
I am causing it to look very different and to be very different. I am flipping much of the conventional thinking on its head. I am flipping practical thinking on its head. I am causing the earth to birth a new era, a new movement. This move will baffle traditional thinking people and the practical minded. The flexible and those moving in My Spirit, those walking close to me, will understand and change their mindsets quickly. Others will be stragglers.
But this is a new day. I Am changing who the leaders of production and building and development are, and they will surprise you. And you may balk at it. I love surprises, and I love to laugh at your surprise.
Hear me when I say, this is a new day, a new era, at new thing. Led by a new people, a new tribe – and it will cause confusion at first. But I Am changing the way we do things. I Am changing people’s life trajectories, I am changing passions and desires and interests. I Am giving great downloads of wisdom like I did with Bezalel. (Exodus 31:1-6) I Am changing minds. Literally I am changing minds and hearts and perspectives and – moving people to new places, new industries, new careers.
This will all happen – these major changes will happen starting now and the bulk of it will happen in this decade.
How to Respond
- Sit with the Lord and daydream about this kind of future. See where daydreaming with Him takes your mind. Ask Him to give you a glimpse of what would make your heart flood with joy in this new era. Ask Him for new direction.
- Get outside today and get your feet in the grass. Bare feet in the grass.
- Ask the Lord to show you ways to support these new developers of sustainability. Are there product changes you should make? Companies you should go out of your way to support and to promote – in these early days of God’s true green movement?
