The Lord has been graciously revealing to me just how limited my view of Him has been. As He continues to open my heart, I have repented and remained receptive to His filling, recognizing that what He is unveiling stretches far beyond my own life. I find myself wrestling with how to communicate these truths, but I am confident that even that struggle has purpose. As I write, I sense His heart moving me beyond personal perception and into something much greater, where His wisdom rises beyond my own thoughts and feelings. I pray that where my words and comprehension are unable to express properly, the Spirit will move beyond the limitations of words, and speak in Spirit to those who call and seek His presence.
I can feel His eyes, scanning over the nations, coming very near the Lampstands, as He looks for His faithful bride, the one who emits a guiding Light of Life into the Holy place. I can barely contain the tears as I see the Lord’s heart, at He looks at His own possession, that which was to be set apart, as a representation of Him, to the nations.
If you want to know the health of the nations, look to the Church. She is to be a living representation of a family, governed by the Kingdom of Heaven, living expressions of the divine way of life found abiding in Christ, the vine.
“For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth so that He may support those whose heart is completely His. You have acted foolishly in this; therefore, from now on you will have wars.” 2 Chronicles 16:9 AMP
I hear in the Spirit an urge that we, as a people, need to come into His counsel and receive His correction, comfort, strategies, and battle plans, as we enter this new season.
“Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who esteem His name. “They will be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “ on the day that I prepare My own possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.” So you will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.” Malachi 3:16-18 NASB1995
We are living in a time of both a great awakening, and a great deception. We are experiencing Isaiah 60 come to life in our time. “Darkness will cover the Earth… but the glory of the Lord will rise upon you.”
God is reclaiming the nations, calling His Bride back to purity, single minded devotion, and Kingdom alignment. The clashing of two opposing kingdoms will make the contrast unmistakable. When the laws that regulate the human society come in collision with the nature and ways of God, they will produce an impossible co-existence. Unless the laws that govern the way we live are altered, catastrophes of war, disease, and famine will ensue. These can be called”judgments of God”, but His judgements are the natural consequence of our falling away. Listen, laws are not codes of behavior based on a consensus of human opinions, but are unalterable and eternal Truths of the nature of God. Whether we like it or not, the universe is made this way. God will not alter it, for He is unchanging. Therefore, we cannot worship our own fantasies, and “vain imaginations”, but must give our allegiance only to Truth.
The nations of the World are entering a time of fragmentation and restructuring, in a way that we have not witnessed in our lifetime. We are living in confusing, dark, and weighty days. All of creation is longing for a new heaven and a new earth.
“Yahweh now reigns as King! Let everyone rejoice! His rule extends everywhere, even to distant lands, and the islands of the sea, let them all be glad. Clouds both dark and mysterious now surround him. His throne of glory rests upon a foundation of righteousness and justice. All around him burns a blazing glory-fire consuming all his foes. When his lightning strikes, it lights up the world. People are wide-eyed as they tremble and shake. Mountains melt away like wax in a fire when the Lord of all the earth draws near. Heaven’s messengers preach righteousness, and people everywhere see God’s glory in the sky! Shame covers all who boast in other gods, for they worship idols. For all the supernatural powers once worshiped the true and living God. But God’s Zion-people are content, for they know and hear the truth. The people of praise rejoice over all your judgments, O Lord! For you are King-God, the Most High God over all the earth. You are exalted above every supernatural power! Listen, you lovers of God! Hate evil, for God can keep you from wrong and protect you from the power of wickedness. For he sows seeds of light within his devoted lovers, and seeds of joy burst forth for the lovers of God! So be glad and continue to give him thanks, for God’s holiness is seen in everything he does.” Psalms 97:1-12 TPT
The Lord is establishing His zeal for His own name and glory through His Sons on Earth. This Psalm has really been stirring in my Spirit. I’m continuing to feel the urge to “set our face like flint”, on His heavenly Kingdom, not on the horizon of Earth. For the one who makes us righteous is close to us. The passion He has for the establishment of His reign is going to take precedence in justice and righteousness; for they are the very foundations of His throne. When He comes in judgement, it is for His own Name’s sake, both over our individual hearts and over the nations. It is the Lord, our God, who empowers us, by His Spirit. Our accusers will fade away, like worn out, moth eaten cloths. (Isaiah 50:8-9)
When the Lord moves, it is across many dimensions, outside of time. It is aways wise to first observe how the Lord wants to deal with us, in our own inner man, pertaining to His judgements. Do not despise the small moments in life, when He is training us and preparing our own hearts for what is ahead.
There are many times in scripture where God comes in a dark cloud. Psalm 18:11 says that He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds His canopy. God does not always reveal Himself in ways we immediately understand. The human soul craves light and clarity, yet we often misunderstand how God chooses to reveal these things to us. His presence does not always arrive gently or predictably, but often comes in the whirlwind, dark clouds, and fire. In His all knowing power and love, He moves in ways that challenge our reasoning, shaking us from the places where we have unknowingly confined Him. It is often in these obscure and unsettling depths that He disturbs our minds and hearts, disrupting our lower default mindsets, so that we can be molded and stretched, allowing what was once unseen, to be made visible.
We know these aspects in theory, but we are entering a season that m, what will be experienced, will require us to have a deeper trust, and a greater letting go and submission to His “unconventional ways”. He is now revealing to us parts of His character that, for the most part, we as Americans, have never experienced. We were born into a culture of ease, comfort, and quick resolutions. These are default mindsets. Most of us don’t even have a grid for hardship, or a sense of things not working out in the way we perceive or hope. We have become more concerned with preserving our own lives than laying them down for the life of the whole Body. We have made idols by prioritizing our personal desires, our fleeting emotions, our man-made traditions. We have cloaked these idols in religious language, calling them “truth,” while they consume our thoughts, our time, and our devtion. But, what is merely “true” is not enough. “True” is a statement, an idea that can be argued, shaped, and distorted. Truth is a Person. Truth cannot be reduced to information. Truth must inhabit a life. What is true must become flesh and blood – living and breathing epistles. Nations and systems are operating on the technology of “true” information and knowledge, but devoid of life. God is searching for a people whose very lives are a dwelling place for the living Word. The world is groaning, not for better arguments, but for the manifestation of sons who are clothed in the righteousness of Christ. Sons of God, in whom Truth is fully formed. The Word must become flesh again, -not just in ideology, but in character, substance, and reality of a life set apart unto Him. This is the only place where true peace can be found.
He has prepared us for this time. The revelations He has been fortifying in the Spirit-born Church for many decades has laid for us a strong foundation. He has shown us His heart, His goodness, and His Fatherhood. We need to hold in faith the foundations of what has been revealed so that we may stay grounded when He comes in mystery, cloaked in the dark clouds surrounding His throne. Foundational teaching is not a doctrine, but a training into greater spiritual, and living, realities. Our faith in these realities will be credited to us as righteousness.
We need a wider lens and longer view. For the benefit of the Kingdom, we have to see the Lord’s heart generationally, not just in our own little sphere. God Himself is the one provoking the nations, moving in a dark cloud of mystery, opening the vault of heaven, on behalf of His Kingdom reign. He is stirring the foundations of demonic mindsets and systems that have long settled in the land.
We must understand that the church, in our Nation, has fallen asleep in a tomb of comfort. We have become satisfied in our abundance of lower things. We need Him to come in this way, to disrupt the mindsets that have built walls that block the purity of His Way.
“You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.” Revelation 3:17
Apart from Him, we are nothing, we HAVE nothing of eternal value. Anything our hands can achieve is rubbish in His eyes. For each one, we must experience what it is to fall away. We must realize the futility of chasing our own lower desires. These can be taken away and all change in a heartbeat. This is a sharp lesson that every Son must learn. We must learn to yield to the Holy Spirit when the sword is applied to divide the flesh from the soul, the bone and marrow.
The Lord is being very gracious to His people. Again, He has been preparing us by giving each of us opportunities to distinguish ourselves from the lower soul realm. He has been training us on how to separate the emotions, desires and decisions we participate with in the flesh, from the things led and bridled by the Spirit of the living God. One flows from the center of man’s own perception, and the other comes from the center of God’s own heart. He is inviting us to come out of our lower inheritance, although this is often most familiar and comfortable, and be born into a new Spiritual inheritance, as Sons in the House of God. He is offering us opportunities to strengthen the spiritual muscles required to live above our circumstances to walk in holiness, righteousness, and the reality of holy living.
Even Jesus was tested in this very way. He too, laid aside earthly comfort to be perfected in obedience, showing us the way of life, being built together and trained, in the ways of His Kingdom.
“While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers came and stood outside, asking for him to come out and speak with them. Then someone said, “Look, your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to have a word with you.” But Jesus just looked at him and said, “Let me introduce you to my true mother and brothers.” Then gesturing to the disciples gathered around him, he said, “Look closely, for this is my true family. When you obey my heavenly Father, that makes you a part of my true family.” Matthew 12:46-50 TPT
By faith, those who choose to do the will of the Father make visible the “mystery of righteousness” (godliness), which is Christ, living and transforming within the life those born of the Spirit. It is our faith that is credited to us as righteousness. We are justified by our faith.
“Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses].” Hebrews 11:1 AMP
When our faith takes its root, borders and alliances will shift, both in the spiritual and natural realms. Resist the temptation to “help” when things begin to shift. Let it be very clear, this is not a reaction to what is happening around the world, but a foresight and grace coming in the movement of God’s own hands, to mend what has been grossly twisted and deformed. What may look like chaos is actually God’s judgment and justice – hidden in mystery – coming to restructure and reorder.
We are standing at the threshold of a spiritual economic shift. The Greek word “oikonomia” means “household management” or “stewardship”. We are experiencing a divine recalibration of God’s administration over His household. In the Kingdom of God, economy is stewardship. Stewardship is about bringing all things under the rule of Christ. This is not just in the visible economy, but in the souls and systems that have traded eternal truth for temporary gain. We need fresh discernment. We cannot navigate this shift with old mentalities. The currency of His Kingdom is faith. There is going to be a market crash. This is not in the way we think. In the Kingdom of Heaven, it’s more of a spiritual economic downturn, a decline in spiritual movement. It’s about the market of the temporal things that hold our highest values, collapsing.
“Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get out of my way, you Satan! You are a hindrance to me, because your thoughts are only filled with man’s viewpoints and not with the ways of God.”Matthew 16:23 TPT
There are different dimensions to this shift. God always first moves within the hearts of His own people. So, we will internally experience these shifts. They will happen within our own family, community, nation, and all other nations of the World. How it manifests will look different for each heart and mind, but be assured, the Lord is turning over the tables. It is His great love to move in this way. So, we must process through these things with holy fear and reverence, honoring that His ways are higher than our own. Listen, each one should understand. We were born into this way of thinking. God is not showing us these things to defeat us, but to help bring us out of this defaulted way. That is why God is speaking to it as coming from His mystery and sovereignty. There is great need for us to trust Him in the level of shaking that is coming in the dark cloud. Our minds need to be disrupted.
He has prepared us for this time. The goodness of God and revelations He has been giving the Spirit born Church, for many decades, has laid for us a strong foundation. He has shown us His heart, His goodness, His Fatherhood. The heart of the Father has put us in a strong position of understanding our identity. We need to hold in faith these foundations of what have been revealed, so that we may stay grounded in the fear of the Lord when He comes cloaked in the dark clouds surrounding His throne.
The great darkness that Isaiah 60 talks about is what makes the visibility of a greater glory for the kingdom of God. The upheavals to come will be the very catalyst for a greater unveiling of Himself. It will bring a shift that will usher in a great harvest of souls into the Kingdom of God!
These have already been taking place in the church, to those who claim to know and serve the Lord. But there is a more visible shift that will be seen in the man- made and man-exulting mindsets and systems. If we take a wider view of the condition church of our very own nation, we will better understand why God is moving in this way. In judgment, His desire is restoration – for His people to awaken, return, and be fully His once again.
“Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent.” Revelation 3:19
We were born in a time of external peace, the kind shaped by our circumstances in life. This has a way of lulling the soul into a kind of stasis. The mind, left alone too long in ease, can create its own resistance. When there’s no pressure, no pressing need or urgency, our thoughts can spiral inward, becoming self referential. We examine every angle, weigh every consequence, until action is delayed, diluted, or abandoned entirely. Do not be fooled by the lower realm of “peace” which is fickle, and ever changing with the tide of our desires and emotions. Without the denial of our self, without picking up the daily cross, there’s nothing to push us into action. Peace, in this sense, becomes like still water that begins to stagnate. And in the spiritual life, this can look like abundance of good and noble thoughts and deep reflections, kind outward acts, and yet a reluctance to step into obedience, risk, or vulnerability, which are the very places where faith finds expression.
The Lord says, “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot… So, because you are lukewarm…I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15–16
The phrase, “I am about to spit you out of my mouth,” is warning of spiritual exile, a consequence for those who are neither fully devoted to God, nor openly rebellious. The Lord is not indifferent about what belongs to Him. Lukewarmness is not neutrality, it is a sickness of the soul, a symptom of misdirected desire, and the evidence of hearts dulled by temporal comfort and self- satisfaction. He will not remain in covenant with a mixture of self and Spirit. Like an unfaithful bride, so content in her own life, she is so numbed by her own self satisfaction, that she is indifferent to her Groom’s nearness. These people drift away, blind to His presence. This condition is distasteful to Him, and He will not remain where devotion is diluted. Our spiritual complacency leads to a relational and spiritual exile and separation; a forfeiting of intimacy, that will last until repentance comes.
True peace, that passes our understanding, is birthed after we realize the utter depravity of our lower self and completely yield to the molding of God’s hands. In most cases, this peace doesn’t eliminate struggle, but it centers us gloriously in the nucleus of all circumstances, joined in communion with the presence of God, displaying the light of His glory.
Is God’s presence the central pursuit in our hearts? As a whole, does our spiritually-born community pursue connection with God above all else, or have we have lost our first love? A divided heart will result in a withholding of rain from the Kingdom of Heaven. There may still be activity, but the Spirit is grieved. Heaven is not transacting with earth. There is little to no outpouring of revelation, no fresh word, no presence resting on the work of our hands; just toil without fruit.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “When I will send hunger over the land, Not hunger for bread or a thirst for water, But rather [a hunger] for hearing the words of the Lord.” Amos 8:11 AMP
We continue in the same default programs and patterns, but the weight of His glory is absent. There’s movement, but no anointing of what is true becoming part of who we are. That’s a downturn. Like Ichabod, “The glory has departed.” The people of God become self-preserving, looking out for the interests of our own perspectives and preferences. The spiritual economy is based on flow, not fear. Fear is a burden we only have to carry for the Lord. When our fears are given to lesser things, they become a blockage of flow. When the flow stops, stagnation sets in. These things are burdens that are not ours to carry, and must be submitted to God and laid on the alter.
Many have misplaced hope in circumstances or people. We have elevated humans and the way our life works out to be in the way we think is right and best. God is not a respecter of man. We have fallen under the spell of charisma over character. This kind of hope is spiritually bankrupt, and will run dry.
What has been long been hidden in the obscurity of the subconscious, is continually being brought into the light. Systems built on greed, fear, and self-interest are going to begin to crumble. Whatever we have deemed as an external savior, will become the very vessel through which the illusion can break; dissolving our dependence on it entirely.
God is realigning everything according to His purpose, and nothing that resists His order will be left untouched. What the natural mind of the world considers valuable is crashing. The hands of men are obsolete: no government, ideology, or enterprise can prevent what He has ordained. Like wrecking balls in His hands, even the rulers of this world are being used as instruments for His greater plan. Again, it is an act of love for the Lord to tear down any false sense of security we have in men or systems.
Wealth will be redefined, authority will be redefined, and those who have built empires on illusion will watch them dissolve – while those who have faithfully stewarded what belongs to God will see His glory revealed in ways greater than before. This is not just a lower economic correction, it is divine realignment, where Christ alone will reign over all.
Righteousness and justice are the foundations of His glorious reign, and the coming judgment is for the sake of His Name and His glory. Do not be tempted to stop what is being judged. God is turning over the tables! As His Sons, we can take solace in the fact that HE IS MOVING!
Heaven’s economy is coming down like a river. It flows from the throne of God bringing the Light of Life, wherever it goes (Ezekiel 47). This river is not stagnant or existent of itself, without being part of the whole. It is always outward moving and ever renewing, shaping a path, that is a source to all who come to drink of it. The river is not an owner of the water source, but steward of it.
Stand firm in faith. We are IN the sovereign hands of God, and He is reclaiming what belongs to Him. He alone has dominion over the Nations.
“All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations will bow down and worship before You, For the kingship and the kingdom are the Lord’s And He rules over the nations.” Psalms 22:27-28 AMP
Out of the ashes of the old man, one new Spiritual man is formed. Out of the ruin of self-governance, God raises up Sons, with minds and hearts governed and filled by the Spirit with wisdom, understanding, counsel, strength, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord.
God Himself declares, “The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine, The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I shall give [the ultimate] peace and prosperity,’ declares the Lord of hosts.”Haggai 2:8-9 AMP
