The Spirit of the Lord says, Trust and obey. Watch for My grace. Watch for My grace to come in like an unexpected flood. The flood of My grace is starting to lap over the banks of My goodness now.
The Spirit of the Lord says, You will see and taste and experience wellsprings of joy unexpectedly bursting forth — onto your property, your land, into your home, your office. Wellsprings of overwhelming, powerful, uncontainable joy will soon be bursting forth — very soon, momentarily.
The Spirit of the Lord says, Resurrection. Joy is breaking through the darkness, the heaviness and the weight. Joy is bursting forth like unruly patches of grass on dry barren soil. Joy is bursting forth unexpectedly bringing fresh, sweet smelling life. Truth is sprouting up from beneath the surface. Truth that seemed dead, buried and gone is resurfacing in undeniable colorful life.
The Spirit of the Lord says, Strong people, men and women of impeccable character who reflect Me, they are the ones I have chosen to lead, to teach, to coach in the Revival of the Ages. These are ones who have been training and building strength and endurance in private — almost in seclusion — with maybe only a few likeminded people surrounding them and going in the same direction as them.
The Lord says, Do your dancing for an audience of One. Do your work, your life, your fun — do it all for Me. Live, dance, enjoy and move forward with intrepid determination as if I Am the only one watching. Truly, I Am the only one whose opinion matters. I Am the very air in your lungs. Shake off the concern about what others think of you, what their opinions are, what their mouths speak about you.
The Lord says, Deep, abiding, immovable joy. Joy that holds fast as the storm tosses and waves rise. A joy that buoys you above the waves, that lifts your head and causes you to be able to see out on the horizon of hope. I Am your joy, your strength and your source. I Am energetic life itself. Seek My joy. Fight for it and refuse to let it go. Wrestle it back from darkness, circumstances, frustrations and disappointments. Own your joy. Own your hope.
The Lord says, Follow My joy. Follow My peace. Put your trust in Me. Put your hope in Me. Put all of your eggs in the basket that is marked, “My God will come through for me.” I never lie, I never lose, and I never fail. I’m not about to start now. We have entered the new days. We have left the season of bleak darkness, of wilderness and of the dry place.
The Lord says, You have laid it all down. You have laid down dreams, ambitions, personal desires, comfort and even vision for the future in pursuit of me and in submission to Me. As surely as death cannot hold Me down, neither can it take captive My promises over your life, the dreams I have placed in your heart and the work that I set out for you to do before the beginning of time.
The Lord says, Be in a continual state of worship. Live with an ongoing awareness of My Presence and My active role in your life, your day, your world. Treasure me. Treasure My Presence, My voice, My nearness.
The Lord says,
These are days for joy, laughter, celebrations and true victory dances. These are not days for stoicism, cold-heartedness, fear or anxiety. These are days where celebration begets freedom, and freedom begets more celebration.
