Circuit Riders

In the spirit I am hearing a ringing, singing and declaring, “The kingdom of God is here! The kingdom of God is here!” I hear it as a joyful cadence; a rhythmic roar or sorts, it is distinctive, it is simple. I then see CIRCUIT RIDERS criss crossing the nation and the nations. They are declaring in joyful tone, “The kingdom of God is here! The kingdom of God is here!” They are on horseback, wearing cowboy hats, it is as though it is called a Circuit Riders Celebration Declaration. There is such celebration attached the proclomation, “The kingdom of God is here! The kingdom of God is here!”

Circuit riders are stated as those riding on horseback between distant churches, these preachers were popularly called “circuit riders” or “saddlebag preachers” although their official role was “traveling clergy”. I see voices on the move, going from place to place preaching the gospel of the kingdom. The celebratory nature of their message brings joy to cities, regions, homes and churches. Joy breaks out on a measure we have not seen before. It reminds me of what Psalm 126 says, “It was like a dream come true when you freed us from our bondage and brought us back to Zion! We laughed and laughed and overflowed with gladness. We were left shouting for joy and singing your praise. All the nations saw it and joined in, saying, “The Lord has done great miracles for them!” Yes, he did mighty miracles and we are overjoyed!”

I can only say what I hear and reveal what I see. I see circuit riders criss crossing the nation and the nations and I I hear them declaring, “The kingdom of God is here! The kingdom of God is here!” What a great day to be alive.
