"‘But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the
former days,' says the LORD of hosts. ‘For the seed shall be prosperous,
the vine shall give its fruit, the ground shall give her increase, and
the heavens shall give their dew; I will cause the remnant of this
people to possess all these. And it shall come to pass that just as you
were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so
I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear, let your
hands be strong.' For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Just as I determined
to punish you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath,' Says the LORD of
hosts, ‘And I would not relent, so again in these days I am determined
to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not fear'"
(Zechariah 8:11-15).
"You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her,
yes, the set time, has come" (Psalm 102:13)
It is the time of transition for the people of God and the church of My
glory. The winds of My Spirit are even now blowing across the land. The
winds of change are upon you. I am changing My countenance toward My
people to bring forth My determined purposes in the earth. I will no
longer treat My chosen ones as in the former days but I will have mercy
upon them. The set time has come, the time of My favor for those who
will seek My face. I am releasing My power and anointing to turn the
captivity of My people. I am bringing forth My righteousness in Zion. As
surely as the earth brings forth its shoots, so surely I will cause My
righteousness to spring forth before all peoples. Nations shall see your
righteousness and kings shall behold your glory.
Set your hearts and minds to seek the Lord your God for only those who
seek Me will find the way I have made. Seek Me with all your heart and
you will find the knowledge of your God and the fear of the Lord. Arise
and build My sanctuary and I will send the Ark of My presence and My
holiness into your midst. Consider your ways and take note of this
season. I am removing the defilement from before Me. I am tearing down
the high places of idolatry. No more shall flesh glory in My presence.
No longer will the uncircumcised minister before Me. I am lifting up My
hand against those who have become a stumbling block of iniquity to My
people. They shall not come near to Me or My holy things but they shall
bear their shame and punishment for the abominations that they have
committed. Those shepherds who will not seek My face shall not prosper.
I will scatter their sheep and raise up other shepherds, even those who
will do after My own heart's desire.
Let My people cry aloud and hold not your peace until My determined
purpose is established, until My people come forth as brightness to
radiate as a burning torch before Me. Transition shall be birthed with
travail, as My people cry out before Me, rending your hearts and not
your garments, with fasting and weeping and mourning until every
hindrance is removed and the temple is prepared for My habitation. Lift
up your heads and your Redeemer shall come with a strong arm to turn
your captivity and quicken your mortal body. I am setting you in a new
place and positioning you for My purposes. You shall be called by a new
name, even the name of the Lord your God. I will prepare you as a crown
of glory in My hand. My eyes shall look with favor upon the faithful of
the land, those who walk blamelessly before Me, to minister before Me.
Prepare the way for it shall come suddenly. You shall no longer be
termed forsaken or desolate for My delight is in you and you shall be
joined to Me in divine union. Do not hold your peace but cry out day and
night putting Me in remembrance. Keep not silence, give no rest, until
it is established, until Zion shows forth My righteousness and praise in
the earth.
Many of you have waited before Me. Many have grown weary and your hearts
have sunk down in despair. Many have wondered whether you have heard
right or not. Many have questioned their calling and purpose. Some have
even weakened and drawn back from following Me. They have lost courage
and become deserters. I have withheld My hand to test and refine you to
know what is in your heart and to make you sure for the appointed time.
But I would say to you today, behold your salvation comes and His reward
is with Him. You shall be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the
Lord and you shall be called sought out and not forsaken. I am even now
sending forth My Spirit. Arise from your prostration and call on the
name of the Lord your God for I will not treat you as in former days.
For those who will humble themselves and seek My face, it is the time of
My favor. It is the time of coming forth. The seed shall be prosperous.
The vine shall bring forth fruit. The ground shall give its increase.
The heavens shall give their dew. I will not withhold any good thing
from those who seek Me. None of My words shall be postponed anymore but
the word I have spoken shall be done. Prepare the way. Give entrance to
My word and let it run its full course until all your fallow ground is
broken up and My righteousness breaks forth upon you.
Water the words that have been sown in your life. Put Me in remembrance
and let us agree together. Your due season is upon you. I am
establishing My ministry. I am raising up My servants with a perfect
heart. Let not your faith stand in the wisdom of men but in My power for
surely I am able to cause the seed to spring up and bring forth that
which I have spoken, not by your might or power but by My Spirit. The
tender shoot is able to break through even the hardest of ground. Seek
My face and I will strengthen you to come forth. Seek My face and I will
release the fresh oil of My anointing. Let My church arise and go
through the gates of transition to prepare the way of My people. The set
time has come and My favor is released. Hold not your peace but cry
aloud until it is established and My promise is fulfilled in your life.
