Isaiah 57
You formed my innermost being, shaping my delicate inside and my intricate outside, and wove them all together in my mother’s womb. I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex! Everything you do is marvelously breathtaking. It simply amazes me to think about It! How thoroughly you know me, Lord! You even formed every bone in my body when you created me in the secret place, carefully, skillfully shaping me from nothing to something. You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I’d ever seen the light of day, the number of days you planned for me were already recorded in your book.
Psalm 139:14-16
O Holy night! The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
‘Til He appears and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees; O hear the Angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born
O night, O Holy night, O night divine!
When the Soul Felt Its Worth
The Lord says,
The lines of this song, O Holy Night, describe the type of time and place we are again — where the world lays in sin and error pining. This is the condition of the world. And My Presence is coming, is moving to restore, to reveal the inherent worth of My creation, My people. This is a mighty move of change. This is a move that restores the hearts and hopes of many. This is the move that heals minds and brings right thinking.
This is the move that breaks hearts for the wrong thinking and the wrong ways of living that have been operating until now. It breaks hearts, because the reality of abortion is revealed and exposed. It breaks hearts, because the value of each individual life is now seen, and it reveals that the world has been living in a culture that throws away, discards and disposes of My people for any number of reasons — all invalid reasons. This is a time of national mourning and repentance for evils and the carelessness and the even the disdain for human life. But I don’t move without provision for full restoration and a path for healing and change.
Repentance is required, and it is the appropriate response. It is a recognition of Who I Am, of My values, and of the value I have placed inside of you and each one. But joy and singing and a lion’s roar comes in the morning. The recognition of this, the understanding of the soul’s worth — as it settles into the mind and very being of a person, of the people, they will rejoice with a new understanding of who they are. They will rejoice for the purpose their life has found. They will rejoice because they are not alone, not orphaned, not wandering without a shepherd. They will roar with a mighty united inescapable, unmistakable roar — for the souls of many, for the souls of the children.
They will roar to end abortion and call it what it is — evil. They will roar to end the mistreatment of men and women, to end sex trafficking and prostitution, to end pornography and the sexualization of children and hyper-sexualization of all. They will call sexual sin what it is — immorality, and they will see it from My heart — for what it is — a lack of understanding self-worth and a lack of recognition of the worth of others. Promiscuity is not freedom. It builds a jail of its own making around your heart.
My Presence is moving. My Presence is coming. And My Presence will bring with it a powerful revelation of the inherent worth of every soul.
The Birthing of the Kingdom Age
The Lord says,
I Am rejoicing. I Am celebrating. My heart is full and overflowing, because the time to birth this movement, this new era has come. I have been planning for it and equipping My people. I have been drawing them near to My heart. I have been busy revealing assignments and giving instructions, but the waiting is nearly over. The time of birth is here!
This is the birth of a mighty, ferocious and pure Church. This is the birth that brings great messy upheaval in all aspects of society, the birth that brings truth onto the scene and makes truth unignorable, unmistakable. This is the birth of many new assignments.
Just like a delivery room, it will be a messy and chaotic time, but it is a time with clear purpose. I Am the Great Physician, and I will bring to the Earth this successful birth. This is the arrival of My Presence. This is the arrival of truth. This is an arrival that is heralded by many angels. This is the arrival that many prophets have foretold. This is a Kingly arrival. My arrival. My Kingdom Come. And I Am coming to change everything. Just as a new baby changes schedules, changes priorities, changes your outlook on life, how you spend your time, and what you care about, so will the arrival of My Presence change every aspect of your life. Get ready. But just as you can prepare for a baby but never truly be ready for the baby’s arrival — so it will be with the arrival of My Presence. Be close to Me. Be expectant. Expect great and wonderful and even unexpected, terrifying things. Be in a posture of expectant parents, full of holy reverence and fear of Me. As My power breaks through into the new day, everything will change.
Systems will change. Hearts will change. Who gets promoted will change. Who is honored will change. What justice looks like will change. Life plans will change. Very little will stay the same. Almost nothing will stay the same.
