I was outside praying and I sensed a measure of warfare in the atmosphere that felt thick. I could not put a name on it, it was just thick. Then without notice I heard a jet engine above my head and the Lord said, “I have the authority and power to penetrate the warfare in the atmosphere.” I immediately entered into the authority of the Lord as He penetrated the thick warfare in the atmosphere and the sense of lightness was palatable almost instantaneously.

As I was looking up to the sound of the jet engine, I was watching the airplane ascend into the atmosphere at a 45 – 50 degree angle. The Lord then again spoke and said, “The higher up you go the less detail you see on earth.” I knew the simplicity of the statement was packed with profound revelation, for often times we can feel like we are staring at a blank canvas, not sure where we are going or what we are doing, and the Lord made it clear, that means you are at a cruising altitude, far from where you once were, but not yet arrived at where you are going.

The closer we get to our next destination, the more clear it will become for us. The sites and sounds will increase, the details will come into view, and the anticipation of the new location will fill our hearts with joy. But until then, if you can’t see anything or aren’t hearing anything, its okay, you are at a cruising altitude, headed to your next destination. The Lord is in control, all you have to do is obey the instructions from the captain of hosts and enjoy the quiet that comes from being at a cruising altitude.

For weeks now, literally everyday I have been seeing on the clock, on license plates, on receipts the numbers 633. My spirit immediately says, Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.” Yes I know this is part of it, but if it was all of it, I would love keep seeing this number come up over and over again. Today, it happened again, I finish praying I sit down at my desk and there it is on the clock 633. I asked the Lord, what does 633 mean. Immediately, I sense I am to add the numbers together. 6+3+3=12; 12 represents the 12 apostles, the 12 disciples, the 2 tribes of Israel, and the Lord says, 12=leadership. One puzzle piece is in place.

I realized I had assumed the verse God was saying when I saw 633 so I went thoughout the whole bible and looked up all the 633 verses and there is literally only seven places you can find a 633. In all four of the gospels, Judges, and 1 and 2 Kings, that is it. When I come to the very last 633 in 2 Kings 6:33 it says, “While he was giving his instructions, the king showed up, accusing, “This trouble is directly from GOD! And what’s next? I’m fed up with GOD!” I read the verse and knew I needed to know the context. This is the story where the famine is so bad in Samaria that women are eating their children. The king is distressed by all this and blames it on Elisha, the prophet, henceforth, why the king says, this trouble is from God. Context matters.

As I am looking at this verse, the Lord says, tell people, “I am worth the wait!” (Selah) Tears are in my eyes, for the wait has been long, the pain seems to be intensifying from an attack on the world’s health to now the attack on the world’s wealth with inflation. People can’t seem to get a break. I then heard in the spirit, people wanting to give up, saying this is too hard. Those who have a promise from God, but He is saying wait, my friends, “He is worth the wait!” I know prices are high, markets are shakey and housing is out of control, but “He is worth the wait!” How do I know. Listen to the next verse in 2 Kings 7:1 “Elisha said, “Listen! GOD’s word! The famine’s over. This time tomorrow food will be plentiful—a handful of meal for a shekel; two handfuls of grain for a shekel. The market at the city gate will be buzzing.”

One word from God and this whole thing is going to change in a day. One prophet, somewhere, someday is going to hear the voice of the Lord, declare it in the earth, just like Elisha did and everything is going to change for the world. Don’t give up, don’t stop believing, don’t quit now, we are one word away from God’s intervention. “He is worth the wait!”

YOUR FAITH HAS POWER!

Mark 10:51-52 “Jesus said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And the blind man said to Him, “ Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!” And Jesus said to him, “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.”

EXERCISE YOUR FAITH!

Mark 5:31-34 “Who touched Me?’” And He looked around to see the woman who had done this. But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”

FAITH IS THE INVISIBLE SUBSTANCE THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!

Hebrews 11:1-3 “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval.

By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.”

Everything has become common in our culture, therefore nothing is treated as sacred. This has brought about many more challenges then we realize. We now live in a culture that does not treat authority with respect, whether parents toward their children or citizens toward police. We have tolerated the common and not guarded the sacred, so people have sex at will, change their gender without long-term thought, and then wonder why they are miserable. When everything becomes common there is no standard, no plumbline, no measurement by which to know where we are off.

It took some pain to recognize this lack of sacredness in our society has not been all it was marketed to be. Real freedom has sacredness to it; real freedom comes with responsibility; real freedom not only sets us free but keeps us free. Culture has come to a measure of its senses and it is taking back the sacred and separating it from the common. Life is sacred, no one wants to die, why do you think people had such a fear of C-19? Why do you think people are “prepping”? Because innate within every human being is life, and no one wants to die.

The return of the sacred it going to penetrate and permeate every sector of society, the marriage bed is going to be kept pure again, children are going to honor their father and mother again, the sanctuary is going to become a place to meet with God again. But it is not going to stop there, people are going to actually realize they are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6). Leaders in the church are going to teach people the difference between the sacred and the profane, the consecrated and the common (Ezekiel 44).

It is already innate within us, we have “china” we only use on special occasions; we have foods we only eat on specific holidays, we know what the difference is and how important it is. As righteousness exalts the nation again, the demarcation between the sacred and the profane will be taught again. My friends the great awakening is happening, people are waking up to what has been stolen from them and they are taking it back. It is restoration time, the days of our captivity are over. If you can’t see the signs of it yet, you will very soon, as it is going to become the norm again to separate the sacred from the common. Because the glory of the Lord will only come to that which has been set apart.

Time has become a trouble maker in our lives. But how did this happen? When we were children we had no concept of time. When we were hungry we ate, when we were tired we slept, when we were awake we got up. We had no idea what time it was or even why it mattered. Time is a responsibility issue. We are responsible to keep our appointments by being there on time. Time is an accountability issue, if you want to gather with other believers you have to come to church at a certain time. But time is also a troublemaker.

Who said you have to be married by this time? Who told you, you can’t learn something new after this age? Who decided that at this age you can no longer have children? Time tortures us, taunts us, troubles us. We think of how much time we have left before we die as though death is the final act of our lives as spirit beings. Who said you have to retire at that age? Who said, who told you, who made time your enemy instead of your ally?

I was reading Mark 8 today and Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod. Then He says this, ““Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart? HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember, when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?” They *said to Him, “Twelve.”

I was pondering how Jesus said, do you have a hardened heart, when I started thinking about how time hardens our hearts, for we have been told this or that must happen by this time. Who said? I don’t want a hard heart because I think too much time has passed so that relationship can’t be restored, or that ministry can’t manifest because I am this or that age. I want a heart that remembers the miracles of God so my heart is ready to receive every new miracle He is going to do, no matter who much time it took to come to pass.

Intimacy is a relationship term. Danny Silk says intimacy means, into me you see. When I heard him say that, I never forgot it. Being someone who love the word of God, loves the prophetic, loves to preach and loves wisdom and revelation, it can feel like when God speaks in these ways it is intimacy. He opens His word and shows me things I could not have known; He teaches me things by the Spirit that I had no way of knowing. I feel so loved by God when He shows me things like this. But intimacy is multifaceted, intrinsic in detail and vibrant in sound. It is into me You see. I can’t see me the way God can see me. He knows things I need that I don’t even know. That is why I can never forget Psalm 139, I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful I know that full well.

The same is true for you, I don’t know what your love language is, so I am not sure how God speaks to you so you can hear Him. For me it is words, that is why He speaks through His word so much to me. But He knows you so much, He will even share things with you in a way you did not see coming. It is intimacy. Into me You (Lord) see. He sees you, He is for you, He really does love you and He pursues relationally, us in ways that can catch us off guard and make our heart smile and our eyes water. He’s just that personal.

This morning my bible was in Exodus 15 as I was looking into Elim yesterday, and about two three days ago, I asked the Lord a question, now put the two together and the this morning, He answered the question I had about trees, yes trees. Not ministry, money, marriage, nothing major, just a question about trees. Then this morning, glancing at a passage in Exodus 15 He whispers, this is the answer to your question and it was a kiss of intimacy. No revelation came with it, nothing to preach came with it, just an answer to a question with a kiss from heaven. The Lord prioritizes relationship over revelation, teaching, preaching, prophesying, He loves being in a relationship with you.

I was in prayer this morning then opened my bible to read in Mark 4 when I heard in the spirit the sound of mature believers crying out “Harvest me!” There was an ache almost in their sound as they cried, “Harvest me!” It was not a cry to be harvested to go to heaven, it was a cry to be harvested for they are mature and want to be bread for the hungry. The cry was identifiable, it was loud and I realized it was inside of me. I was saying with the others who are mature, “Harvest me!” Tears streamed down my face as I heard my voice with their voices. That is when I penned these words…

I hear the sound of a mature crop crying out “Harvest me!” I hear their voice saying, “I wasn’t matured to die in the field; I was matured to be made as food and served to those who are hungry.” I can hear their cry every time the sower comes with sickle in hand. Here comes the sower, can you hear the cry of the mature crop crying out, “harvest me”, or will he go yet again to the immature grain and harvest it? Has he not learned that the blade, nor the grain is ready to be food, if it is harvested prematurely it will not be able to feed the hungry. Does he not realize the answer is not to serve them something grain free hoping they say it tastes good? Will he hear the sound of the mature grain calling out, “harvest me?” If he doesn’t the Lord of the harvest will have to send out new laborers into his harvest field because the harvest is ready but the current workers can’t hear the cry of the crops saying, “harvest me!”

Mark 4:28-29 “The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

Matthew 9:36-38 “Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. Then He *said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

The church is about to experience a mass exodus, not out of Egypt but out of Babylon. It is not going to be a billion soul harvest of unbelievers, but of believers who have been locked into a Babylonian Christianity. I see so clearly, the Lord Jesus Christ leading the billion soul harvest of men and women out of Babylonian Christianity. It is going to be a mass exodus of the likes we have never seen before. Your title in Babylon will not matter, for many “titled” people are hearing the call to come out of her my people and they will not miss the opportunity to leave.

Babylon is a place of mixture, mingling, confusion and division of language. People are exhausted by this Babylonian Christianity, they have known the task master, and no matter what they do, say or pray, nothing seems to change. Babylonian Christianity has wearied the saints, lulled them to sleep, and has burned them out. The doors to Babylonian Christianity are going to open and a billion souls are going to come out. We have heard 2 Chronicles 7:14, if My people who are called by my name…but the Lord said, that is not the verse for now, the verse for now is come out of her my people. Come out, the doors, the gates, the windows are going to open and you are going to be lead out of her My people, by the Lord Himself, just like God used Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt, God is using Jesus Christ to lead His people out of Babylonian Christianity.

We have seen a trickling of this, but we are about to see the floodgates open and the people are going to come out by the millions. Babylonian Christianity is over, it is about to fall once and for all and the people of God are about to enter the kingdom of God in a massive way. This is not an exodus from Egypt, this is an exodus from Babylonian Christianity. Those who came out ahead of time will train and equip those coming out in this mass exodus, to do the work of the ministry of the kingdom. A whole new world is about to unfold as the billion soul harvest comes out of Babylonian Chistianity into the kingdom of God of the likes we have never seen before.

The longer I live on earth the more I realize that which is tangible carries some value, but that which is intangible carries a value that cannot be measured with earthy elements. People spend their best years pursing the tangible. Gold, silver, diamonds, dollars, pearls, positions, power, but they were not born with this pursuit, they learned it. We were born humble, dependent, and we loved to learn. Our eyes opened and we wanted to see, our ears opened and we wanted to hear. We were so curious, so free, so fun to be around. People would ooh and ahh over us and we were just being us. How did we lose that? Who taught us to value tangible things which have no lasting value, no real significance?

The Lord has put many tangible things in the earth for our enjoyment, but they were not meant to become our gods, our pursuit, our distaction from the joy of living, really living. When the created gets more attention than the Creator, we lose our sense of awe and wonder, pursuit and passion, joy and enjoyment. Job 28 says it this way when it comes to what has real value, “Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding? God understands its way, And He knows its place. And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.” Wisdom and understanding are intangibles that carry great value but you can’t buy them you are given them for departing from evil and living in obedience to the voice of God.

Wisdom and understanding, Proverbs tells us yield a return that is eternal, a joy that is undeniable and a peace that is unspeakable. People who are wise and understanding are not rushing here and there trying to make something happen, they are resting, rejoicing and pursing what is truly valuable, God Himself. Is it possible your challenges are because of your pursuit? It is never too late to change what you pursue for the sake of becoming childlike again.

We are a people who live moment to moment, not age to age. We are a people who speak as though the temporary is permanent, not as those who have eternity in our hearts. When something hurts right now, that is all we see, feel, hear. It is part of being human, but the Bible and most of its authors spoke to encourage people in momentary challenges and wanted them to know this too shall pass. Yes it is painful right now, yes it looks dark right now, yes you can feel the first fruits of shaking right now, but this is momentary, this is not eternal.

Job 20:4-5 says, “Do you know this from of old, From the establishment of man on earth, That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary?” Selah!

When we can step out of our current feelings, situations and circumstances, lift up our eyes to the past victories God has won for His people, Biblically and earthly, and when we can see that we have a future and a hope, we realize, this current reality is going to pass too. My husband taught me early on in our marriage, that what I was making a big thing, was actually a small thing. Now 15 years later, I consider most things a small thing, not because they are insignificant or they don’t sting, but because in light of history with God and future destiny with God this moment, these gas prices, this shaking is only a small thing.

One area of growth we as believers need to grow in is realizing the moment is not forever. I tell people, the reason I don’t have tattoos is because I did not want to make a permanent decision in a temporary moment. If we can navigate the moment, we will find the storm did not last, the shaking subsided, the economy changed for the better and God who is sovereign sees it all and was there walking us though it, so we become stronger. Fear not my friends, this, whatever this is for you, is a small thing and it too shall pass.
