The First Fruits of the Harvests Are Here
The Lord says,
You are beginning to taste the first fruits of your labor. You are beginning to enter the early harvest for what you have sown and toiled for. You didn’t necessarily even know what kind of trees and plants you were planting and tending. But you are beginning to see and taste the fruits of it, and they are sweet, perfect and a great delight.
A Lifestyle of Thanksgiving Is a Weapon
The Lord says,
Don’t forget that worship is a weapon, and it is a mighty defense against the enemy. Worship, praise, sing, dance. It’s vital in this time of the squeezing, the pushing, the ramping up of increasing pressure. Worship. Praise. Encourage yourself in Me, and you will find breathing room.
Breaking Through into the New
The Lord says,
I Am breaking through. I Am the God of the breakthrough. Breakthrough is here. Birthing is here. We are in the final moments before bursting through into the new.
Be Guided by the Pleasure of the Lord
The Lord says,
My pleasure is on My people, and I Am opening doors and enabling them to make quick decisions in the midst of great uncertainty. They can feel My pleasure, and that is the marker that I Am with them, that I Am in the decision, that they don’t need to hesitate in a time where moving and deciding and rapid change is necessary.
A Call to Live in Contagious Joy
The Lord says,
Live a lifestyle of joy. Live a lifestyle above the storm and the waves of adversity. Live a lifestyle where circumstances don’t dictate your attitude, your personality or your character. That’s what I’m looking for. That’s what I’m calling for. That’s what I’m setting before you. Choose joy. Choose Me. Choose the more real reality of Me, of being seated in Heavenly Places, of your identity in Christ. Choose joy.
The Fires of the Crucible & The Spirit
The Lord says,
I can see that your heart is hurting, tender and aching. I can see that your face is wet with tears. I can see that you can’t make out the road ahead and that it all feels so daunting, so bleak, so dark. I Am hurting with you. I am sharing in your pain, your loss, your frustration at the darkness. I Am sharing this burden and these feelings with you. You are not alone.
Joy Is the Headline
The Lord says,
My peace is available. My peace is here. Don’t fear the unknown, the future decisions, the the next steps. I Am here. I Am present and accounted for. Ensure that I Am front and center in your sight, in your heart and in your mind; and then take one step and then the next.
Justice, Reversal & Re-Constitution
The Lord says,
This is what’s on My heart — freedom from bondage, freedom from the sin that ensnares many, freedom from worshipping lesser gods, freedom from such low views of self, freedom from oppression. Freedom. Pure and simple freedom.
The Lord is Birthing Spiritual Giants
The Lord says,
Do you remember that old hymn? It goes, “trust and obey for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.” In the Western way of thinking, in the modern mindset, that sounds like a real chore. It sounds arcane. But it is true.
It’s Open Season
The Lord says,
One thing. That phrase echoes the heart of David who said that one thing he desired was to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. The one thing I desire is to draw My people to Myself. I desire My people to come and dwell with Me, to reside with Me, to find healing, deliverance, salvation and purpose in My Presence.
