Today’s Readings:
Isaiah 44
Isaiah 54
Psalm 138
Shout for joy, O barren one, you who have borne no child;
Isaiah 54:1-4
Break forth into joyful shouting and cry aloud, you who have not travailed;
For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous
Than the sons of the married woman,” says the Lord.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent;
Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not;
Lengthen your cords
And strengthen your pegs.
3 “For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left.
And your descendants will possess nations
And will resettle the desolate cities.
4 “Fear not, for you will not be put to shame;
And do not feel humiliated, for you will not be disgraced;
But you will forget the shame of your youth,
And the reproach of your widowhood you will remember no more.
The Lord says,
I’m stirring resurrection in the hearts of men and women. I’m stirring up expectation even in children. This is a look out on the horizon time, because My move is near and arriving. It is rolling in like a fearsome storm that causes all to run for cover. My glory and the hope of My mighty move are shining on and reflecting from the hearts of My lovers. You are being filled from the outside and the inside with the glory of My Presence, because My glory is come.
My move has been inching incrementally closer, and My operations have been happening steadily in the background, in the darkness, in the unseen places for years now. Watch as I align all that has happened and all that is happening, and connect it to its moment of fulfillment. Watch for an explosive move of My Spirit and an event that all say could have only been accomplished by the Hand of God.
24 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb,
Isaiah 44:24-26
“I, the Lord, am the maker of all things,
Stretching out the heavens by Myself
And spreading out the earth all alone,
25 Causing the omens of boasters to fail,
Making fools out of diviners,
Causing wise men to draw back
And turning their knowledge into foolishness,
26 Confirming the word of His servant
And performing the purpose of His messengers.
It is I who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be inhabited!’
And of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built.’
And I will raise up her ruins again.
Build up your trust in Me. Build up and fortify your faith. We are in for a rocky landing, and this rocky landing will do what rocky landings do. It will give a final shake to all that can be shaken on this mission, and it will cause a jolt and a sharp awakening for those who have been asleep.
We are pushing out of this dark place like a woman giving birth and we are entering into a new world of light, of love, of new possibilities. We are in the birthing and nearing the delivery. The delivery is upon us, and though it is painful, you will soon forget the pain of delivery because of the joy set before you. This is a new era. This is a new reality. This is a new future. This is the impossible made real.
4 All the kings of the earth will give thanks to You, O Lord,
Psalm 138:4-5
When they have heard the words of Your mouth.
5 And they will sing of the ways of the Lord,
For great is the glory of the Lord.
Believers and unbelievers alike are stepping into a time of destiny. Believers have been refined as with fire in these last several years, though even some believers have remained asleep. The wake-up jolt is for the sleeping believers and the unbelievers, as it will change the very world they perceive around them. They will seek Me, and they will find Me. Finding Me will be extraordinarily easy, as My glory will be visible and undeniable across the earth.
This is a time where many, many paths click into place for people who had no path just moments before. This is a time of stepping into destiny when you had been edging step by small step forward in the darkness. I Am turning the lights on, and I Am dropping new paths in front of your moving feet. It is a time of extraordinary change, rapid change, new directions and destiny so unfathomable that it will cause hearts to soar. It will make many previously believed impossible feats happen in rapid succession around the world. This is a time of acceleration and destiny. Hold on. It’s going to be a bumpy landing.
23 Shout for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done it!
Isaiah 44:23
Shout joyfully, you lower parts of the earth;
Break forth into a shout of joy, you mountains,
O forest, and every tree in it;
For the Lord has redeemed Jacob
And in Israel He shows forth His glory.
I Am ushering in a time to live with abandon, in full joy, in childlike faith with the strength of a battle tested warrior — whose eyes are full of faith and vision for the future that is beyond the horizon.
These are days for hope, for vision, for stretching out your hands toward destiny. I will not leave you languishing in this wilderness. I will not leave you alone in the darkness. I will finish what I started inside of you. Fear not My dear one. Instead, walk boldly forward in the path I have set before you — even though you cannot see. I Am about to turn the lights on and make it very clear. You will clearly see the new path I set before you, and you will be able to turn around and see what all of this time in the darkness, in the uncertainty and in the wilderness has been for — what it has accomplished in the world around you and within you.
7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;
Psalm 138:7-8
You will stretch forth Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand will save me.
8 The Lord will accomplish what concerns me;
Your lovingkindness, O Lord, is everlasting;
Do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Stir up hope. Stir up expectation, and look to the horizon with certainty that I Am moving to fulfill My Word. My promises are true, and not one will fall to the ground. Watch as I turn your life into a well watered, thriving garden. Watch as I cause you to sprout and blossom overnight. Change is here. Keep pushing.
