God knows exactly where we are at all times, therefore He speaks in a variety of ways multiple times when He is emphasizing something. Now is it personal or corporate that is yet to be determined, but I will tell you this, God is saying “Swiftly”.

On November 18, 2020 I wrote in my journal and told one friend, I keep hearing the word SWIFT. December 13, 2020 I’m reading Isaiah 60 in The Passion Translation and it says, “I will make peace your governor and well being your ruler. The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in it’s time I will do this swiftly.” Then today, I come out of Aldi’s and parked right next to me is a vehicle and the license plate says, SWIFLY.

Something is about to happen swiftly this I know, but that’s all I know!

When God put Noah in the ark He shut the door behind him (Genesis 7:16). When the time was right God spoke to Noah and said, Go out…bring out…breed abundantly, be fruitful, and multiply on the earth (Genesis 8:17). The days of the shut door are over, it’s time to open up the gates and doors. Some will try to delay the shut door season, but God says that season is over, come out! The Lord is inviting us to declare be opened, be lifted up.

The Lord wants to open the ancient doors in our bloodlines. These open doors are going to bring into our life the river of God that was inaugurated in the Garden of Eden “Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers” (Genesis 1:10). These ancient doors are likened to dams that have been set up by “man” to control how much we receive. But God is opening the ancient doors and is lifting up the heads of the city gates. These doors and gates in our lives must be opened so the King of glory can come in. When city gates are shut and ancient doors are locked the river can’t get in. Declare them be opened inside of you, the days of shut the door are over, it’s time to open all doors, even ancient doors.

Psalm 24:9-10 says, “Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Who is this King of glory?

The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.”

Dams are put in place to control how much of the water gets to flow down stream. They are gates and doors placed on us to control us, but the Lord is breaking off all control and heaven has opened the floodgates. To receive the abundance we must declare all ancient doors opened. We know how to live in exile being controlled but we are about to learn to live in abundance because this is a kingdom that has no end, no control and limits. There is so much to explore, to discover, to learn and there’s more than enough room for everyone to fulfill what they were made for. Declare the ancient doors be opened that the king of glory may come in! The iron and clay kingdom is falling once and for all!

The next 5 weeks are going to be intense. The season is winter, but the heat is on. Put a guard over your lips, so you don’t want to lose friends in this fight. Remember our battle is not against flesh and blood it’s against spiritual wickedness in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6).

Jesus said He saw Satan fall like lightning and we are seeing the fall of the iron and clay kingdom once and for all (Daniel 2). It’s a narrative war, that’s why it’s fought in the air. But when we get through this war and come out on the other side we are going to ALL be building a kingdom, not a ministry, that endures forever. The King of this kingdom is Jesus and He is the only King, the only Head.

Remember what the apostle James said, “Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James 1:2-4)

God is interested in our maturity not instant victory. There is a lot to be learned about ourselves in this battle. The lessons we learn about us will keep us humble, teachable, dependent and crying out to the Lord to search me and know me and see if there be any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.

The transition we are in is so all encompassing that no one is able to describe it or define it in totality. This is by God’s design, for this transition was God initiated, is God led and God will get the glory from it and for it.

We are seeing moments and movement that is surprising some, exciting others and going unnoticed by a few. This is just more evidence of the massive transition we are currently in.

The best way to sum up what is happening is not something new, but another cycle of something old. Joshua 1:1-3 sums up the transition very well. “Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ servant, saying, “Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses.”

We will not forget the words of those who went before us, rather we will carry them with us, but we must go and keep going; advance and keep advancing for everything is about to be new to us. We must transition in order to occupy until He comes. The new era is here, there is no going back!

Pharoh hardened his heart even after many chances to acknowledge God’s power through Moses and Aaron. Even his magicians said, this is the finger of God, but Pharoh remained hard and set on his plan. God eventually agreed with Pharaoh and hardened Pharaoh’s heart and this locked him in to be used in God’s plan of delivering a nation from him once and for all. Pharaoh is locked in again, a nation is going to be delivered again and just like then the Egyptians we see today, we, America, will see no more. Take one last look because America is coming out! Watch God!!!

Yesterday morning in worship the Lord spoke to me and said, “I am not the king of the hill, I AM the King of kings and I will not be dethroned!” Enough said.

Revelation 19:11-17

“I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself. He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.”

I was praying Psalm 21 this morning and I saw a victory parade being revealed across the nation. Jesus was the first car in the parade for He is our victory, He is the triumphant One. He was standing up waving and smiling. The floats that followed were all revealing victory testimonies of what Jesus has done in their life that most knew nothing about. Each car/float testified to the victory Jesus gave them.

This parade was full of life, light, victory, triumph, praise and celebration. The people watching on both side were in awe of all the victories people have had. They went from surprise to joy for they had only been hearing about what the enemy was doing with the many prayer requests, news reports and struggles. To see this victory parade and to hear the stories the floats were communicating of victory brought hope and restored joy to them.

I see a victory parade being revealed and all who see it will rejoice. Who knows someone you know may be in that parade declaring victories over battles you didn’t know they fought.

Psalm 21:1-7 “The king rejoices in your strength, LORD.

How great is his joy in the victories you give!

You have granted him his heart’s desire

and have not withheld the request of his lips.

You came to greet him with rich blessings

and placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

He asked you for life, and you gave it to him—

length of days, for ever and ever.

Through the victories you gave, his glory is great;

you have bestowed on him splendor and majesty.

Surely you have granted him unending blessings

and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

For the king trusts in the LORD;

through the unfailing love of the Most High

he will not be shaken.”

I have a friend who spent the past 6-8 months or more preparing to do a home water birth for her newest daughter. She studied to learn about about the process, she got a mentor to guide her and a midwife to help her. She bought the supplies needed for a successful home delivery and she along with her husband were ready. Then just the other night a contraction that four hours later led to the birth of their baby girl went off seamlessly. Preparation is what gives you confidence for the moment of delivery.

We as a nation experienced our first contraction in September 2020 at Rosh Hashannah 5781. We have been experiencing contractions ever since then and some are painful because America is in the birth canal. We will have more contractions before our rebirth as America 2.0 in January 2021. Americas first birth can be studied to see a similar pattern as nothing new comes without a fight.

The Lord Himself initiated this rebirth of America with a shocking entrance of a man and woman who gently rode down an escalator in New York, but in four years has uprooted, toredown and destroyed many hindrances to America’s rebirth. Many don’t realize how close to death our country really was, but thanks be to God He decided to save our nation.

God doesn’t start something He is not going to finish. The contractions will continue until the final push that gives birth to America 2.0. The great awakening many have prophesied is here, but it’s hard to see because we are in the birth canal. The prophets didn’t lie, the Lord is not destroying us, He is healing the nations. Fear not, trust God and brace yourself because everything’s about to be made new.

Remember if He did it for Israel, He can and will do it for America.

Isaiah 66:8-11 “Who has ever heard of such things?

Who has ever seen things like this?

Can a country be born in a day

or a nation be brought forth in a moment?

Yet no sooner is Zion in labor

than she gives birth to her children.

Do I bring to the moment of birth

and not give delivery?” says the LORD.

“Do I close up the womb

when I bring to delivery?” says your God.

“Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her,

all you who love her;

rejoice greatly with her,

all you who mourn over her.

For you will nurse and be satisfied

at her comforting breasts;

you will drink deeply

and delight in her overflowing abundance.”

Trust is an invisible truth that is cultivated in private, but manifests in public when a battle ensues. Everyone has developed trust in something or someone. Most do not know what they trust in until the wind begins to blow.

As a small child my mom would read us the story of the three little pigs. Each pig built a house to protect them from the “big bad wolf”. Until that wolf came and huffed and puffed they thought they were safe in what they had trusted in. But one blow of the wolf’s breath and their houses of straw and sticks fell. But one pig built with bricks so when the wolf blew his attack against that house it remained and provided shelter for the other two pigs.

This children’s story was not just a cute story it was a life lesson we are to learn. King David said it this way, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm” (Psalm 20:7-8). Jesus picked up what David said and expressed it like this, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash” (Matthew 7:24-27).

The other day the Lord said to me, “The storm is upon us, we are just waiting for it to rain.” What we have established trust in is about to be revealed not to shame, but to provide a way of escape from an unstable structure. When the wind blows if your house crashes, don’t fear draw near for a mighty fortress is our God and He is a house that cannot be shaken.

Humanity is always looking for the benefits.

The health benefits of eating right are desirable.

The emotional benefits of exercise are well documented.

The financial benefits of intellectual property are valuable.

The relational benefits of covenant are identifiable.

Humanity loves the benefits that come from what they do.

Our love of benefits is what surprises me that humanity does not prioritize the word of God in our life. The benefits we seek, desire and dream about all come with the word of God, but it’s not a priority. The best thing is, it can become a priority starting right now and the benefits start kicking in immediately.

Wisdom on how to lead a family, a company, a church or a country are found in the word of God.

Healing for your body, soul or spirit is found in reading the word of God.

Financial stewardship, ideas, inventions and authority is taught in the word of God.

Relationship advice, parenting skills and how to be single is found in the word of God.

History and mystery are found in the word of God.

All the benefits we need for life and godliness are at your fingertips, on your bookshelf or sitting on your nightstand. Pick up your Bible and read, it’s so good for you and has lasting benefits it releases to you. The word of God is the gift that keeps on giving.

Psalm 19:5-7 “The law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing the soul.

The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the LORD are firm, and all of them are righteous.”
