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.

Doors of Opportunity – Part 2

We know that Jesus is the Door, who stands in the gap (doorway) on our behalf. He alone holds the key and is the One who rules sovereignly over our entrance. 

Isaiah 22:22 AMPC tells us, “And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open.”

One meaning of the Word “doorway” is “opportunity,” which is a means of access or participation (Webster’s), “a means of achieving or escaping something” (Encarta).

As the bride of Christ, we have just entered into our Promised Land, escaping that which was behind us. We are now able to achieve God’s purpose forward in submission to Him.

Jesus has opened the door. 

But not all opportunities are of God. 

We must be led by Holy Spirit and carefully obey as Joshua did in his Promised Land.

In Philippians 3:13 TPT Paul shares wise strategy, by saying, “I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however, I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.”

Friends, it’s time to lay down what God is finished with in former seasons. Let it go and fiercely focus on Him and what’s before us.  

It’s time to step into more of our God-given manifest inheritance.

2 Samuel 22:2 AMPC reveals a three-phase strategy that King David walked through on his way to his coronation. It says, “…The Lord is my Rock [of escape from Saul] and my Fortress [in the wilderness] and my Deliverer; [I Sam. 23:14, 25, 28.]”

This is also the process that the Israelites walked through from Egypt (Saul), through the Desert (Wilderness) and into their Promised Land (Delivered).)

It’s the same three-phase process of enthronement that we walk through along our journey to greater power and authority to rule and reign with God on earth as it is in Heaven.

The Lord has brought us through the first two phases, which was about coming to know Him as:

  1. Our escape from Saul (salvation).
  2. Our fortress in the wilderness (sanctification).

And now that we have entered into the third and final phase with The Lord, He is revealing Himself to us as:

3. Our deliverer (into and through our Promised Land), which is the fulfillment stage of promise for our inheritance-reward and much fruit (harvest).

With every step forward in this Promised Land, God will honor us as we honor Him to establish His reign on the earth by His Spirit. He will enable us to rule with Him in greater authority to impact nations. While evil self-destructs by its own sword, like Saul.

Just like King David stepped into his Kingdom inheritance of rulership, we, too, will receive promises fulfilled for Kingdom impact when we stay the course and obey God (Jos 1:7).

We will need a constant flow of living water from the Word and Spirit of God to sustain our position of enthronement here on earth (Re 22:1).

As God’s sons and daughters, we are to remain in the Vine, guard our hearts and be led by Holy Spirit for fruit production in this new season (Re 22:2).

We need to sync with God’s vision as He continues to open up the doorways to new life. 

We can acknowledge God as David did and thank Him as Daniel did when he saw and heard from The Lord.

Daniel 2:20-23 says:

Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors: You have given me wisdom and power, you have made known to me what we asked of you, you have made known to us the dream of the king.

As we worship God and follow His lead, we can declare Psalm 24:7 TPT, which says, “So wake up, you living gateways! Lift up your heads, you ageless doors of destiny! Welcome the King of Glory, for he is about to come through you.”

As we progress in this new cycle of the transfer of power, wealth and authority to God’s sons and daughters, we will witness God unseat evil and deliver territory from darkness to light for Kingdom impact (Is 22:19-22). 

God will grow His Kingdom, and we get to participate. 

Just as He did for King David and Daniel and Joshua, God will show us the way and protect us.

He will reveal His vision to us and give us strategy as we go with His Presence. 

As we remain in Him and continue to trust Him along this exciting journey, we will taste and see that He is good in all things. We will have eyes to see and ears to hear. 

So, my questions to you are:

  1. Have you had a Saul in your past that chased you closer to God (deeper, higher)?
  2. Have you found yourself in a wilderness (intimacy) season that prepped you for greater promises forward?
  3. Are you ready to experience your deliverance into those greater promises as your destiny continues to be revealed to you?

If your answers are “yes,” then you are well on your way to greater dominion His way. 

To God be the glory.
