“Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. The Lord gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king. Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession. Lead them like a shepherd, and carry them in your arms forever.”
Psalms 28:6-9 NLT
It’s time to praise Him believing that He can and will deliver us! God is advancing all the forces of Heaven even now. Freedom is coming. The flip side of this is coming! Songs of thanksgiving will burst forth from the spirits of God’s people first and then the manifestation of all He has done will be fully seen. Where you have steadily sown in faith whether it is financial, words of encouragement to God’s people, or directly to God out of a heart that continually has chosen to trust Him despite what you’ve seen happening all around you, you are about to reap! I can feel and discern what is coming. There is such a sense of relief, awe, elation, excitement all wrapped up in what I see. God’s people saying “He did it! He had this planned all along!” It is a jubilation like you have never known before as it is the result of experiencing a threat you’ve never faced before. We are not being returned to what was, this is much more glorious than that, we are being invited to enter what never could have been!
“Among the other nations, Judah and Israel became symbols of a cursed nation. But no longer! Now I will rescue you and make you both a symbol and a source of blessing. So don’t be afraid. Be strong, and get on with rebuilding the Temple!”
Zechariah 8:13 NLT
God’s plan for you is that you would be both a “symbol and source of blessing”. You as individuals, your businesses and families. I can feel the hand of God pressing heavily on his people empowering both their spiritual resolve and financial resources. You will command angel armies and send them out against every threat that forms against you giving them specific directives in order to take the enemy out and remove him. I feel a collective resolve rising up in the spirits of God’s people saying “Stop! That’s enough! No further can you come!”
“Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.”
Psalms 37:25 NLT
God spoke this to me early this morning. The writer explains that he has lived a long life and in all that time has never once seen the godly abandoned. In these last few months I’ve listened to the words of trusted prophets, not too much because we must be able to hear from God ourselves and not rely solely on what others are hearing from Him, but each time I yielded in my spirit to believe the words of encouragement and great hope for the future and a blessing or two or three would break forth for my family. That experience taught me something and I began going back to the simplicity of just closing my eyes and picturing the face of Jesus. Start your day making a practice of this, force your mind to hold onto His image, think of nothing else until you feel changed. Hold onto His image longer and more frequently each day until you can see Him anywhere even with your eyes open. You will find excitement in your spirit and an expectation of God’s goodness.
I’m seeing an alignment or a partnership between those called to be “kings” and those called to be “priests”. The categories of the titles are vast and even overlap in some areas but to put it simply kings have the power to open doors and provide clearance to the Lord’s elect granting access to places of destiny promised by God. Kings have the finances to advance multiple Kingdom directives and the authority to affirm Gods people and secure their advancement. I see so many who are new to this trying it out for the first time, sowing a seed where they feel the tug of God on their hearts to help the hurting, or exhorting someone under their leadership by simply saying “you’re doing a great job” or making them laugh lightening the mood. These kings are experiencing the refreshing of doing what they were designed to do and it is so exhilarating they will be drawn over time deeper into these roles. For the priests, you have continued to long for the presence of God above all else knowing that when you find Him you find the abundance of life. I see the wind of God blowing on the dust that has obscured what God has written about you from his seat of glory in Heaven. Who you are, how your Heavenly Father and all of Heaven sees you, what you are fashioned by the hand of God to do, and the things you love doing for Him. These truths about your purpose are becoming clear for all to see.
Redeem these last few days of the year with faith seeking His face until you are convinced of His goodness. Then go around and spread that Heavenly presence everywhere you go infecting every environment you enter with the confident expectation of glory!
I Love focusing on the face of Jesus, brings you to total peace, love and forgiveness
