In a world where we have known chaos, we are going to have to learn peace.
In a world where we have known noise, we are going to have to learn quietness.
In a world where we have known lack, we are going to have to learn prosperity.
In a world where we have known tolerance, we are going to have to learn truth.
In a world where we’ve known self-protection, we are going to have to learn trust.
In a world where we have known sorrow, we are going to have to learn joy.
In a world where we have feared death, we are going to have to learn to live abundantly.
The world we have known is about to be replaced with a whole new world and we are going to have to learn new things. It’s easy to think we know how to live in this new world, but we will quickly realize we don’t. It will take some learning, but we are going to love what God is about to reveal.
Zephaniah 3:17 “The LORD your God is in your midst, A victorious warrior.
He will exult over you with joy, He will be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.”
When Israel was living in challenging times during their 70 year stay in Babylon, God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah and said to them, “For thus says the LORD, ‘When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the LORD, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’”
Our 70 years of exile, just like Israel’s then, is coming to and end. Many of us were born into this so we don’t realize the freedom we are about to experience as we come out of it. But Jeremiah reminded them, you are coming out into a visitation from God; fulfillment of God’s word; prosperity, a future and hope; a close relationship with God; restoration; and gathering. My friends we are coming out for this is God’s appointed time of our jubilee.
I was stirred all night long, tossing and turning, which is uncommon for me. I then get up to pray this morning and anxiety is all around me, again I’m not an anxious person, so these are indications of something outside of me. I ask the Lord about the atmospheric anxiety and literally 10 minutes later, my mom who lives in MN sends me an unsolicited text that says, “Red sky’s in the morning, sailors take warning. Well, my sky is red. We are under a winter watch. Owatonna looks awful. U should have stuff going on.”
I thought you have no idea, you see my mom’ s not a Christian so she was just reporting weather, but the Lord was reporting the atmosphere to me. Then I take my dog for a walk and when I get back there is a notification on my phone that says, California + Arizona VOLCANIC HOT SPOTS on weather satellite—- Midwest shifts w/ M4.0. I don’t fully understand what it’s all about but there is something in the atmosphere and if you hear anyth please share. Eyes wide open!
Elymas has been exposed. Who is Elymas, he is also known as Bar-Jesus, who lived on the island of Paphos and is found in Acts 13:6-11. He is a magician, a Jewish false prophet who was opposing Saul(Paul) and Barnabbas who were sharing the gospel with the proconsul. Paul filled with the Holy Spirit fixed his gaze on Elymas and said, “You who are full of deceit and fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, you will not cease to make crooked the straight ways of the Lord.
Can you see it, a spell was cast on us through the use of sorcery and it manifested in deceit and fraud. This spell has been perpetuated through false prophets (the media) to keep us deceived, so they could fulfill their fraud. The definitions for fraud in the Greek are very revealing. But that is not the point right now. The good news is, Elymas has been exposed, the spell has been and continues to be broken off of people and very soon we are going to experience an International Great Awakening to the truth!
Righteousness and justice will establish the nations again, truth and transparency will be seen by all, and God alone who is on the throne orchestrated all of it for the deliverance of the nations from the spirt of Elymas. We are going to experience freedom like we could not of even dreamed of. Paul was right, no eye has seen, no ear has heard, what God has in store for those who love Him and are called according to His name.
Psalm 105:2-5 “Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad. Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually. Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth.”
Remembering our history biblically, nationally and internationally is critical to our success in the present and the future. History reminds us of how God manifested His faithfulness in past generations.
The challenge of history is that we expect God to do again in the same way, what He did then. With this desire we look for the same signs and wonders rather than the same God.
God is always faithful, He is always a deliverer, He is always manifesting His glory in every generation. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). However, He often chooses a different manifestation of deliverance than we are looking for which is why we can’t see Him working in our midst. Look for the ways (nature) of God not His acts and you’ll never miss what He is doing in your midst.
TABITHA ARISE! this phrase jumped off the page as I read it in Acts 9:40. The Lord is inviting us to announce Tabitha Arise! It’s an easy announcement to make, but when we realize what we are being invited to speak forth, it adds substance to a saying.
Tabitha (Dorcas) is a woman in Joppa that died, she was a woman who was known for charity (love) and deeds of kindness. Peter came to town and was invited to come into the upper room where they laid her. After sending out the weeping widows, Peter prayed, turned to the body, and said, Tabitha Arise! and she opened her eyes and she sat up (Acts 9:39-40).
Tabitha means bright eyes of a gazelle, Gazelle means prominence, splendor, beautiful, glorious, pleasant, goodly, honor, decoration. When Tabitha heard the words of Peter saying Tabitha Arise, bright eyes were opened and she sat up. I believe Tabitha is the body of Christ and the Lord is inviting us to announce, proclaim, Tabitha Arise.
We as the body of Christ need a great awakening to the revelation of Jesus Christ as risen savior. We need our bright eyes opened to His beauty, splendor, glory, honor and prominence. For as we behold Him we become like Him for He is the head and we are His body.
I hear an announcement in the spirit saying Tabitha Arise! I hear an invitation in the spirit, asking us to announce, prophecy, proclaim in the same thing, Tabitha Arise! It’s time for the bright eyes of the body of Christ to be opened.
One of the enemies weapons he uses against us is the weapon called forget. He distracts us with issues, problems and challenges inside of us, outside of us and all around us. His purpose is to get us to forget. Forget what? Forget all that God has done for us.
Psalm 103 says, forget not His benefits. Forget not His benefits. Remember what the Lord has done for you. I hadn’t thought about forgetting as a weapon used against me or against you, but today the Lord showed me this weapon and reminded me, is reminding us to remember. The weapon called remember defeats the weapon the enemy uses against us called forget.
Remember He pardons all your iniquities.
Remember He heals all your diseases.
Remember He redeems your life from the pit.
Remember He crowns you with loving kindness and compassion.
Remember He satisfies your years with good things.
Remember He established His Throne in the heavens and rules over all.
Remember He has angels and hosts that obey His word and do His bidding.
Remember Psalm 103 for it is a weapon that defeats forgetting.
In prayer this morning a groan was coming from my spirit for the lifting of the oppression, depression and suppression off the people in every nation. As I travailed I saw a swell of intercessors in the spirit crying out for the same thing. I then heard the cries of others added to this swelling sound. The sound culminated in a breaking forth in the earth realm. The breaking forth partnered with the pouring out from the windows of heaven and glory covered the whole earth.
I then opened to my prayer partner for the day Psalm 102 and the Psalmist was crying out with the same travail I had just experienced. The nations are travailing and the Lord has heard. Henceforth the combining of the break forth and pouring out meeting in glory.
The Lord then said, “This is the appointed time, this generation is living in an appointed time for the earth.” He went on to say, “Many have been hidden for this appointed time not from it.”
I then saw the harvest and when the pouring out meets the breaking forth, there will be many laborers needed for a variety of reasons. It’s not going to look like anything we’ve seen before, this appointed time is different than any other in our generation. Open wide your heart to receive for everything is about to change and it’s going to better than you or I could imagine. We are living an appointed time.
Psalm 102:13-15 “You will arise and have compassion on Zion; For it is time to be gracious to her, For the appointed time has come. Surely Your servants find pleasure in her stones And feel pity for her dust. So the nations will fear the name of the LORD And all the kings of the earth Your glory.”
One day I was driving my son to school and it was a gorgeous day here in the Midwest, so we had the windows cracked, for some fresh air. While at a stop light, I heard the sound of many geese above our head or somewhere near our car. As we looked around, there they were probably 25 of them flying above us releasing the sound that is so distinct to them. Immediately the phrase drops into my spirit “The Flying Trumpets”. I continued on through the day and now through the week and every day more than once a day I am hearing the sound of the flying trumpets (the geese) above my head. Finally, I have to look up what are the flying trumpets, is this biblical, prophetic, or just me seeking creative language for a bird I see and hear often. I sat down with my computer and Google’d The Flying Trumpets and the first reference is to the name of experts in B2B media business; nope that is not what I am sensing a new business idea. I keep scrolling down and the images of flying trumpets come up and there is the picture of a one goose and the caption from Reddit.com reads, Flying Trumpet: Proper Animal Names. I think you are kidding me, this is what geese are actually called, Flying Trumpets. I am a city girl, I would not have known that, so I smile at God, but know there is more that He is saying than this. The very next heading is What Are the 7 Trumpets in Revelation? Now I am hooked, for I knew it had to be something in the word of God, but what I was not clear.
I started reading about the 7 trumpets in Revelation 8, 9, 10, and 11 but Revelation 8 starts out by saying, “I saw the seven angels standing before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. Another angel came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake. And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets began to sound them.” The scene sounds so dramatic, angels, trumpets, saints, prayers, fire, incense, a storm and then a sound, one trumpet at a time. What could all this mean?
People who love to study the end of the world turn this into an apocalyptic time for the world as each trumpet releases what sounds like one judgement after another on the world. It very well could be future events to look for, or it could be symbolic language pointing to past events that have already happened. The point is not to give an end times scenario, but to seek to understand the flying trumpets I have been hearing all week. With each angel sounding their trumpet one after another the first four trumpets speak to judgments coming on the land.
Trumpet one is about trees and grass; trumpet two is about sea and ships; trumpet three is about rivers and springs of water; trumpet four is about the sun, moon and stars; but then the final three trumpets are about those who dwell on the earth, but the last three trumpets are not for everyone on earth, but only for certain ones on the earth. This is critical information, for I believe the flying trumpets I have heard this week are the sounds of the seven trumpets here in the book of Revelation. The first four trumpets sounded for the cleansing of the earth, many prophetic people have done prophetic acts to cleanse the earth, by salting rivers, pouring oil on the soil, blessing the land, asking for forgiveness for the blood that has been shed in the land and for releasing the sound of the shofar into the air asking for salvation for the nations. Judgment is always to eradicate wickedness and establish righteousness. The storms the earth has seen, the droughts happening in various places, the many earthquakes being reported, the solar and lunar eclipses, the artic blasts, hurricanes and dust storms. If you think back over the past 3 or so years, it is easy to see creation has been undergoing some serious cleansing for the preparation for what is coming.
Now with the sound of the flying trumpets sounding so clearly, what I see happening in the next three trumpets sounding for the sake of eradicating wickedness as it pertains to people, not all people, but very specific people. At least that is what Revelation 9 says. Trumpet five brings five months of stinging to those who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. For you that have been listening carefully, there has been a significant sting operations happening and people who have no fear of God are being stung in this sting operation. Lying, cheating and stealing does not pay well, and when the thief is caught, he must pay back sevenfold, even if it costs him his whole house (Proverbs 6:31) and that is torment for those who put their trust in their money. The sixth trumpet sounded and a portion of the people on earth died from the plagues of fire, smoke and brimstone. This is a warning shot for those who are doing the same things the people that are dying are doing, and Revelation 9 tells us they were worshipping demons, worshipping idols of silver and gold, brass, stone and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk; they were murderers and sorcerers, immoral and thieves (Revelation 9:20-21). More than we are being told are experiencing this judgment right now on earth for doing these exact things and when it comes into public view, it will be so others who have yet to repent of these things can repent or they will experience the same judgment as those who went before them faced.
Now that judgment has eradicated wickedness in the earth, the land and the people who were doing abominable things we knew nothing of, now we are ready for the sound of the seventh trumpet. We more often than not put this out into the sweet bye and bye that which God is preparing for a much sooner time on earth than we realize and I believe this seventh trumpet is heralding what is just around the corner for us on earth.
Revelation 11:15 says, “Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven saying, the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.” For those who want to put this into the way distant future, I would propose that this began at the resurrection of Jesus Christ and though we have yet to fully understand all that was given to us in His death, burial and resurrection, I believe this is a great starting place. He is ruling the nations right now and the flying trumpets I heard this week are heralding, get ready for the kingdom of God that has been hidden from many of us for our whole life is about to reveal itself to us in a measure that will manifest in global jubilee.
I hear the sound of the flying trumpets and I see the reality of their sounds resounding in the earth even on this day. Now, I add my trumpet (shofar) to these flying trumpets and I decree, Global Jubilee!
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil does not make you “all the wiser”, it makes you more confused. Only the tree of life makes you wise, gives you clarity, brings understanding and releases revelation. Choose wisely what you eat from, it’s a matter of life and death.
