Sifting & Shifting

As I look up from working to bring my surroundings into a new order, it’s undeniable that our Lord is shaking away former things at large to make room for His fresh, new faces, spaces and formats.

For many, this is a welcomed exhale as His prepared ones walk into new assignments on levels new to them.

God is inviting us to step up and grow even more as He continues to manifest new treasures in our lives. The time is here for things He planned long ago to come into place for those He fashioned over time.

And some of what these highly-fashioned ones have handed over to Him in surrender, our God will now hand back to them to steward anew.

Just like in a relay race, as we align with God and wait for His promise, there comes a time to reach for His magnificent hand-off and run fearlessly into better and far better for His glory.

And nothing can stop us.

The power that deeply transformed us inwardly is now being expressed outwardly with so much more to emerge.

The small breakthroughs we experienced then were more than a natural progression. They were expressions of God’s nonstop miracle power to help us run in greater victory. They functioned to help lead us into bigger breakthroughs, as God continues to make space for what’s fresh, new and high-purposed of Him.

So, keep releasing former things and fearlessly apprehend His new-for-you. Let God’s voice resound and His Presence be the most impactful.

Where many have waited a long time for God to fill their hands with His next best assignments and blessings, know that His dynamics are in motion and His angels will go with you. Keep syncing with Him in the race to see greater promises come into your blessed hands.

Concerning those things that have fulfilled God’s purpose and have been re-moved by His hand, let Holy Spirit settle this in your soul once and for all; and keep moving forward with Him.

Time matters.

Divine purpose matters.

What some expect on the other side of breakthrough will not be as they have thought. It will be far better, more highly-purposed and will even cause them to surrender more of what they’ve been holding onto. The freedom that comes from this surrender will prove greater than they’ve ever known.

Old mindsets and limited beliefs will have to go in order to step into the beauty-for-ashes provision God has for them. Deep things they have desired, hopes that God put in them, will be possible as they rise and believe again beyond their current circumstances and vision.

It won’t take long as God gives rapid revelation.

What has clashed in the past will give way to a crescendo moment.

There are even greater shifts at the outset of these new beginnings that await God’s willing and courageous ones. These blessings will be far beyond what they could have accomplished on their own, and their heart’s desire will be made full.

They will realize once again that nothing is impossible with God, as they surge past dry, old-wine structures and governments and more fully apprehend Heaven’s government on earth.

As a result, many will come to believe more as they witness God’s miracles in the midst.

It’s time now to believe and receive, to bust through fear and limitations that try to linger and lie. It’s time to revive truth in our hearts on a greater level for us personally and at large.

So, keep the faith.

If you’ve felt heaviness, get up again. Believe in what God has revealed to you and has in store for you. It’s yours in the progression. Get excited about Him expressing Himself as beauty to you in various forms, as He continues to open your eyes to His truth and love.

Look not unto the hindrances but keep your eyes on Jesus.

Let Holy Spirit resolve siftings in your soul—those things that have served their purpose and have fallen away. The former things—let them go to The One you can trust more than anyone else to bring new life to your life.

Know that you are on His heart and not forgotten, that you are very special to Him, that He will make up to you, in far greater measure, what you’ve felt you lacked previously.

Let Him multiply life and love through you for His glory to prove out His hand on your life and beyond.

The latter shall be greater!

Trust Him for the new.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name,

Amen.

Shift for Better

Happy New Year Everyone!

Remarkably, there is so much manifest shift happening. For me, and perhaps for many of you, it began toward the end of last year. My husband and I experienced two major shifts for the better—one in September and one December 31. (God is never late.)

Then, just this morning, I strongly sensed a spring season in the atmosphere. One of my houseplants even began to bloom a week ago “out of season.”

Are you experiencing this fresh wind?

Our Lord has newness and upgrades for His people in multiple forms: jobs, projects, contracts, equipment, properties, investments, systems, places of worship, relationships, routines, mindsets, revelations and more.

Way more.

Everywhere we go, there’s light available for us to discern and apprehend. Look for it in every transition. If you don’t see it, ask Holy Spirit to help you have the right attitude to receive so you can more easily rise and move on from where you’ve been. 

Aligning our minds with His is especially important right now. God is always here to help us. But many, who’ve waited a long time, are now stepping into impactful shifts—one after the other—that will prove to be manifestations of reward that He has grown them into.

It’s for our good and the betterment of others.

God is lifting His people.

As God lifts His people out of former places, He will be very specific in placing them now and forward.

Many of these shifts will come suddenly, after former seasons of painful preparation. Some will be surprising, especially in areas where they may have felt that they had to tolerate lack.

This is manifest abundance of His better and far better that His faithful ones held in their hearts and never before experienced. It’s a season of extraordinary freedom and rejoice in God’s fulfillment of individual, Kingdom promises and purposes.

Turn Lock

One of the key Words Holy Spirit highlighted to me in a vision over the past month is “Turn Lock,” meaning there are some former places that He has literally turned the lock on in terms of not going back there anymore. Like a dead-bolt, these turn-lock moments are absolutes. They deny access and, by default, re-route people with assurance into God’s new direction. 

This is manifest deliverance.

When God has worked out an affliction from our soul, He may turn a lock on those places that reflect that former affliction, especially when it’s a big one. He sets a boundary, closing off that dead thing.

So, be aware of these turn-lock moments in areas you have overcome with Him and thank Him for them. Rejoice in relief and know He has freed you to enter into a much better place that He has already prepared in your heart and forward. 

Noel

“Noel” is another Word Holy Spirit especially highlighted to me last month. It was everywhere I turned with conviction. I knew He was drawing me to search it out and receive His revelation and that I could not put it off.

Noel can be an adjective that means “of or relating to birth” (Webster’s).

I sensed in my spirit that many are about to experience the manifestation of what they’ve held in their hearts, carried in their souls and labored for. God is bringing an end to the long wait and un-comfortability of it. He is placing their highly-purposed promises into their arms with exceptional joy, power and beauty.

This fulfillment will be both intimately endearing and outwardly widespread. It will sweep over many and over time, while being specifically targeted. It will prove to be life-changing in regards to impacting generations within their own families and in others through them. 

This targeted work of impact will literally change the course of history for many. It will come with instructions and objectives that will prove to have an “explicit” outreach in the best way, in that there will be no guesswork or confusion about it. It will glorify our Lord immensely. And their lifestyles will greatly improve. 

See more

I hear The Lord saying, “Keep turning the page to see more.” He will give it to His beloved for the asking as we progress and abide in Him. And we will live out even more of His goodness, His kindness and His joy.

For His glory, He has heard our prayers, seen our hearts and is answering.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name, 

Amen.

Dream Level Alignment: Be Ready for What God is Bringing 

God is answering prayers that many faithful ones have felt are a long time coming. In this light, here are a couple of important Words for preparation that Holy Spirit revealed to me very recently. They are for many of you as well:

1-Leave room for Him to bless you. In little things and in big.

2-He’s bringing you into a higher order of refinement that will align with true gracious living.

The Dream:

Very recently, I had a dream in which a high-profile person I know made an unexpected, sidebar trip to visit me in a new place. This new place looked to be a home with boxes strewn about that extended into a busy marketplace. I felt elated to see her but I wasn’t yet prepared for guests. She sat down at a table and I poured coffee into her porcelain cup. Then I suddenly realized there was no cream. So, I scurried around the wall into another room to find a mismatched, oversized cream pitcher amid a bit of disarray. I hurried back and placed the cream on the table beside her cup. Then I stood there alongside her, feeling proud that all was finally in place. But in that moment, she announced to me that she takes sugar, too. Sugar?! This never occurred to me, probably since I don’t take sugar myself. My mind went blank and I panicked because I couldn’t pull it together. And although she never showed even a hint of displeasure, I realized that the presentation was not my best. That’s when I woke up.

Interpretation:

God is bringing key, high-profile people you’ve known around again for a new, higher-level purpose. He has grown them (and you) into better over the years and soon they will meet with you. This will require a more refined level of order from you, one that God forged into you (when He had you in the fire). 

As He brings you into these meetings, it’s important you realize that you are different than before and that, as a result, you will have better experiences and outcomes. By His grace, God has made you more capable and He will supply all of your needs again, including time to prepare (if you stay on the narrow path and don’t procrastinate).

This is a time and place where you will prove out the transformation God has done in you and there will be a fluid, more refined order and peace about it.

Long gone are the insecurities of chasing things down and clowning around. No more will you just get by on the fly. Last minute make-do won’t suffice. And yesterday’s rush would prove downright hideous, because it’s not God’s way for you in this new place. 

Rather, God has shifted His grace for you to experience a noticeable level of refinement in the details.

This new order involves more than physical organization, spreadsheets and paper plans. It’s a gracious key structure necessary for accessibility, fluidity and dignified service to establish mutual respect, strong reconnections and speedy contracts.

This means there is grace for lovely presentations that will require another layer of thoughtful, advanced preparation from you. You will be required to think outside of yourself. And there will be a Holy ease to help you, a peace and a beauty for God’s Holy purpose—to advance His Kingdom on earth through you.

Know that the hardest work is behind you. Where you’ve known Him as Rescuer and Restorer in the refiner’s fire, you are coming to know Him more as the gracious One for the finest service of your life. Where He gave you the downloads and tools previously, it’s time to put them in place for flawless presentations.

Gracious, not rushed will be the atmosphere in the room. As you continue to align with God, He will bring you into a solid calm and focus, rest and a lasting, reassured confidence like never before. 

This is where it all comes together, Beloved. And you will rejoice wildly in your secret place.

It’s time to move into true, gracious living.

This is why Holy Spirit has instructed you to remove what He regards as “junk” from your physical house (and anything that doesn’t align with His truth in your mind). He’s giving you a heads up to remove whatever has no place in the new place He’s sending you to, because He will cause these meetings to begin soon after He repositions you. 

Think immediate launch and acceleration. 

In this new order of refinement in business and ministry, the bar is higher now for process and outcome. He has grown you in grace to unite with those who will help you accomplish your heart’s mission for Him and His Kingdom.

You have been and are chosen to receive God’s choice level.

So, continue to trust Him as you continue to work with Him; and He will surely make it happen

In Jesus’ Mighty Name, 

Amen.

Narrow Path – A Word for Right Now

I heard The Lord say, “Remove the junk and I will release you.”

So, what does this mean?

In short, it means it’s time to clean up to move up. And part of this overcoming is not overlooking. The task at hand is important and not mundane. The hourglass before you reveals it’s time to move rapidly. So, pay attention to the details of Holy Spirit’s leading, His specific instructions to you. Go with His flow, because none of His promises to you will happen outside of His way or timing.

To further explain, it’s time to let go of every ungodly weight of every kind—every residual wound and sin, especially unbelief—and whatever is no longer useful, so the obstacles along your race will be a nonissue and you’ll be able to hit the mark of personal destiny.

Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV says, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith…”

And Proverbs 3:6 AMP says, “In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way].”

Intentionally choosing God’s way of this narrow path of life inherently means walking against destruction, according to Matthew 7:13-14 NIV. And this alignment requires humble surrender to His will, since He opposes the proud (1 Pe 5:5).

The way we’ll know what is right is through God’s supply of revelation-truth. 

So, it’s time to be centered more on God’s narrow path, because many are about to be birthed into a greater expanse, a whole new life, where they’ll live out the renewal of their minds and the rebirth of their souls more abundantly.

Internally, you may have experienced God setting you more free lately through a rapid sequence of conviction and confession that can only happen by Holy Spirit releasing revelation-understanding into your soul. Know that this is part of His birthing experience for you. 

Externally, He may be leading you to clear out clutter from your physical space to make room for the new He’s about to open up to you. Again, this is a part of His birthing experience for you.

As God quickens His processes right now, He’ll lead you directly into a big, sudden shift, much like a final push precedes a baby’s deliverance into an expanded world. 

As you finish up, let any challenge grow you in holiness, and practice submission to God until you see the outward alignment of it all. 

In these necessary adjustments of your more sanctified walk, know it’s for God’s purposes to converge manifest breakthrough for you and through you into better and far better. Believe the joy you’ll experience in the reward will make it all worthwhile. 

Remember, the meek inherit the earth and God is enough (Matt 5:5 NKJV). He’ll supply all of your needs—including His revelation-truth—as you move in His direction for you.

He will be with you the entire way. He never fails; and because of Him and your willing application of His instructions, you will not fail. 

God is waiting for you to join Him in this confluent move to reorder and revive. It’s time to trust Him all the way, because much is in His hands for you right now. 

You have a lot to look forward to as He brings you into a sweet smelling place, a new, fragrant place of honorable worship. 

I declare His victory over you.

In Jesus’ Mighty Name, 

Amen!

God is Cycle-Shifting Many of His People into Greater Authority

The obstacles and stains are gone. You’ve been budding for a long time. And now, it’s time for you to bloom!

Crescendo moments of freedom are coming into place any day now, beginning this week and especially over the next couple of months for many of God’s Josephs, Davids, Joshuas, Ruths, Esthers, Abigails and Enochs. 

Now that your soul has been delivered and has received much foundational restoration, God will begin to bring about the new outward expressions and establishments of His anointed authority in your life this year, extending into the coming years. These include promotions you’ve held in your heart for a long time, even decades.

Part of the process may involve a little more big pruning for major shifts. This may be necessary for God to catapult you into a better and far better, more power-perfect life with Him. A beautiful and honorable life that more outwardly glorifies Him…And it can happen suddenly.

When it does happen, remember this: 

1-Do not look back to anything familiar from which God delivered you. If anything tries to crop up, fully release it to Him. He has progressed you, as well as those people and places to which you were once tied. There will be no grace for you to go back and try to relive what was or extend it into your future. The carnal self that used to be has died off. Those old demons of disrespect, dishonor, condemnation and manipulation have been cut off by God. So, remain close to Him and do not fall for enemy counterfeits forward.

2-As God brings you full circle with other people and places you once knew (and some that are entirely new to you), it’s imperative to STAND FIRMLY IN YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST and not waiver. It’s of the utmost importance to be courageous and not fear! Where the enemy may try to pull you back into his former lies and your former behaviors with some of these people and places, do not fall for it. God has FRESH PURPOSE AND FULFILLMENT, to which YOUR IDENTITY IN HIM IS CLOSELY TIED. 

By His mercy and grace, He has enabled you to overcome what used to be over you. And now, you will overtake in the best way, according to God and with God in new relationships, to bring about His blessed provision.

I hear The Lord say, “Away we go!”

Yes, He’s especially excited for you! He has been interceding for you and is gratified and honored by you receiving all He has for you in this new season of life to be a powerhouse blessing.

Therefore, this year, as many of you are set free to go live out your new, more blessed life in God, remember to continue to walk closely with Him every step of the way in grace, honor and meekness. Remember to trust God with the full spectrum of what was, what is and what is to come so you can remain free and powerful in Him. 

From the heart of God to you, in Jesus’ Mighty Name.

Amen.
