Trust in the Lord
The Lord says,
I want My people to trust Me. I want them to trust that I Am bringing us to a place of light and life, safety, freedom and wholeness. It seems dark now. You are living under a great shroud of darkness, of sinister plans, of evil that has been disguised as progress. None of this is from Me. I Am taking you on a road that is not marked by convenience, but neither will it be marked by government control.
I know you are hungry for change, eager to for a new beginning. Hold fast, and know that My love never fails. Know that I Am working on your behalf. I will not be dissuaded, nor will My timeline be changed. What I Am doing, I Am doing of My will, of My desire to rescue My people in a holistic way, and I will not be moved.
Sit tight. I will make a way for believers to be connected even in the darkness. I will draw you together by the awareness of My Presence that marks a person. You will be drawn together and unerringly know that the person has spent time in My Presence, that they love Jesus, and that they love the children. I Am making a way for these connections, even in the darkness and this time of great uncertainty.
The Lord’s Compassion for Us
The Lord says,
My heart is turned toward My people in great compassion. I see your longing. I see your heartache. I see your fears for the next generation and even for tomorrow. I know you feel like the rollercoaster has been turned upside down for too long, that you are living in an upside down world that My Word speaks of where wrong is called right and evil is called good. This is a filthy, dark time indeed. But hold on to Me. Hold on to your family. Hold on to My Word. I Am bringing us to the light. I Am bringing us right side up. I Am bringing this rollercoaster of darkness to a stop, to its end. You will disembark, and when you do, you will be free.
Many will kiss the ground because they have made it, and they are so grateful, so overwhelmed with thanksgiving that the rollercoaster of mayhem, darkness and madness has stopped. After the people have disembarked from this roller coaster of of darkness, I will set fire to it and destroy it once and for all. It will lay in a heap of ashes. And this so-called amusement park of evil will look like a graveyard, full of the skeletons of the evil strategies and tactics the enemy used to keep people trapped in endless cycles of torment, darkness, self-sabotage, despair, defeat, guilt, fear and self-loathing. These skeletons will be kept up as a reminder of the place of darkness, evil, control and torment that I have freed you from. The power behind these will be dismantled, but the shells will be left as a museum of remembrance from where I have brought you out and what I have freed you from.
Daylight is Coming
The Lord says,
My light shall burst forth upon the people. As they flood through the gates exiting this place of insanity and evil that has held the world captive, as they flood out, their hearts will be filled with My joy. Their strength will be restored. Their eyes will be lifted, and the weight of oppression, of evil, of darkness will lift and will be left behind. They will flood out into a transition to destiny, to new assignments, new life, and new roads ahead.
Families will be united and their hearts will be knit closely together. They will worship. All the people will worship Me because of the freedom, because of the release, because of the destruction of the forces of evil that had been controlling so much. Great outpourings of worship will precede the road of destiny, not because the road is not yet ready, but because people’s hearts will be overflowing with such gratitude that their only response is worship. For some time, they will only be able to worship.
A New Way of Life
This freedom that they find, that I give them, that I have delivered them to will mean that everything has changed. This is a time where there are no more “shoulds.” These freed ones will say, “this is what the Lord has called to Me, I will do it. This is what stirs my heart with joy and fulfillment, I will do it. This is a need that someone has that must be met, I will meet it.”
This is not the weak Christianity of before, filled with religion and rules. This is a life of freedom in Christ. It is a life of freedom that brings and demands maturity and strength. Maturity does not say “should.” It says, “I will.” Maturity has action behind it, not only desire, and certainly not guilt. Maturity has a “let’s do it” mindset, not a “wouldn’t it be great if” mindset.
This new season will be marked by great action, great forward motion and true pure Kingdom progress.
Heralding the Arrival of the Presence of the Lord
The Lord says,
I Am blowing My trumpet. I Am heralding the coming of a kingly procession. This kingly procession is bringing change and a shaking. This kingly procession is so great, so majestic, so powerful, that it will cause a mighty, inescapable shaking. It will cause those who are in their positions by means of theft and treachery and treason to shake and cower in fear. This is not your average fear. This is soul gripping fear that will be felt as I proceed with My shaking. Yet those in Me will watch, will see, will even experience the shaking with hearts filled with peace. This is My peace that passes all understanding. It will seem like a strange peace has surrounded you in a great bubble. You may wonder if something is wrong with you because of your strange level of peace when many are shaking in fear, many are running and cowering and shrieking in fear because of My shaking. Know that your peace is indeed supernatural peace. It is from Me. It is My gift to you, My protection to your heart and mind and spirit during the shaking. You will see the shaking, and though it is terrible, you will recognize My hand. And You will know that it is all for the good of the people, the nation and the world.
