A word of hope in a season of shaking and distress. The Lord visited me during the week of March 1, 2020 and shared the following with me. Having lived long enough to recognize His voice of promise I ask you to listen carefully.
Have you misplaced your quiver? What about your arrows? It, surely was not I who told you to lay down your bow.
Have you forgotten your promises, the promises that I proclaimed into your life? They are still very much alive. Even now, your destiny cries out, it will not stop, until it accomplishes My Will in your life. Many have been held back, hedged in, positioned and re-positioned, emptied and then re-filled. You have been made ready – now KNOW your God.
Pickup your arrows and STRIKE THE GROUND AGAIN. Make ready your bow. I am shaking all things, that what was stolen, pillaged, and lost will now be redeemed with great increase. Rise up. Stand up. This is a year, day, and time that you were born for. Strike the ground again with your prayers, and decrees, for you are about to be led into your promised inheritance. Even now your redeemer is very near to you.
I believe the Lord to say He has purpose through all seasons, and in this great shaking He has given us promises before a great shaking or test, the recent CoronaVirus, and economic shaking, will cause many to re-evaluate who He is in our lives and what needs to be dealt with. We need to return to the promises that have been calling us forward. Many have been thorough great training and have been held back for such a time as this. The time upon us is a time of release.
He has greater purpose for us, and is now releasing many into what they have been born for. That what He has proclaimed over our lives in past seasons, things we may have lost site of, or have been in waiting for will now be redeemed. When God shakes things or allows a reset, He will use this time to redeem that which was meant to be and get us back on His time line for His divine purpose. This is great hope for those of us that are willing to except and embrace His larger design for our lives.
This word was meant for me personally, however it will also speak to many in the remnant that have been made ready. as a word of hope this has caused me to sow in a season of drought into an opportunity which only God could make available at this time through faith in His promises.
I believe it will restore the portions of my life that were stolen, pillaged, and lost, so I can move forward in what He has. If this word speaks to you, make ready your bow. Draw and release arrows into the future for what God is showing you. He will surely empower you to enter your land and this time to STAND AND OCCUPY.
This completly resonates in and through me.
The time is now. The set backs, delays, restraints and pain will no longer hinder soaring into His all for me.
Your obedience to record and share this declaration has stirred a call to attention in me and will do so in others. Thank you.
So true Mary, the time is now – and now to hear Him as we navigate this and move into the final harvest. He has a path for each of us in this and together it is accomplished.
I am just now reading this, Kelly. Thank you for sharing this – a message that is being given to me over and over again during the past several days. Like I wrote earlier- It is time for me to take off my church lady hat and put on my helmet of salvation!
We are living in such a strategic time, and Holy Spirit is leading each of us to step out one more time. Thank you for sharing Barb.
