“Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses.” Joshua 1:3 ESV

FAITH FOR THE FULL PICTURE

Recently, as my husband and I were seeking the Lord for another word to be decreed and delivered from the courts of Heaven, we noticed that each of us were receiving several parts of the word over the course of several days. Furthermore, it took a little time to piece it all together. “What a peculiar way to receive a word”, we both pondered. “Why did this one come in a different manner?” Each day, a page or two would come but felt incomplete. It took faith that the Lord was showing us something piece by piece to build the whole picture of the new word.

THE CELESTIAL SKIES ABOVE

October will be a month filled with many astronomical events for those who love to watch the night time sky. A quick computer search will reveal that October has center stage for “more than average” astronomical events taking place. Among these, there are three events occurring with great rarity.

1. The earth will capture a small meteorite with its gravitational forces, causing it to change direction and now orbit the earth for a short period of time. It is being called a “second moon” while in orbit around the earth.
2. Parts of South America and Antarctica will experience a “ring of fire”, annular solar eclipse in October. This is where the moon in the sky will appear slightly smaller than the sun. As the moon passes in front of the sun, only the outside edges of the sun will be visible… hence the term, “ring of fire”.
3. A new comet will make its first appearance in the nighttime sky, heralding its greatest views in October. Comet A3, or Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, will boast stunning views as it travels on its 80,000 year orbit around the sun.

SIGNS IN THE HEAVENS

The Bible speaks of many celestial events throughout its entirety. These events are connected to many proceedings that happened at the same time on the earth. The birth of Jesus, the crucifixion of Jesus, and the book of Revelation (just to name a few) are all marked with astronomical events to announce its earthly timing. Even today, many study these celestial movements and speculate what earthly events may transpire.

FAITH OR FEAR?

Even as we are about to release this new word, I find it interesting the context of this word and the celestial events taking place at the same time. Many may see these events and fall into fear. NOT SO WITH US! Rather, see these events as signs to step out in faith. Isaiah 40:12 speaks of a God so great that He holds the waters in the cup of His hand and also marks out the distance of the Heavens in the span of His hand! Rest assured, He is holding you together and preparing you for your next chapter!

OPPORTUNITY, OCCUPY AND ADVANCE IN OCTOBER!

I hear the Lord saying, “This is a time to press in and incline your ear to Me! Call upon Me and I will show you great and unsearchable things that you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3). October will be a month of opportunity. Have eyes to see and ears to hear! There will be shaking but do not fear the shaking! There will be shifting but do not fear the shifting! Many will fear the shaking and shifting and make poor decisions. I am calling you to your marching orders of obedience. Go when I say go, Move when I say move, step where I say step…even if the fullness of the picture is still incomplete. There will be signs and confirmations that this is of Me. Promotion and increase are at hand! I am with you and My hand of favor and blessing rests upon you.”

“I am calling you to occupy and advance in the month of October. You have faced much resistance against that which I have promised you. However, I am clearing the way and removing the obstacles so that you can occupy! Things are about to accelerate faster than you have previously experienced. Fear not! My grace and anointing are upon you to navigate this next season. Look not to the past, for I am calling you to pioneer something new. I will be your compass. I will continue to open up the way before you. New doors of opportunity are soon coming and you will occupy and advance in October!”

“Enlarge the place of your tent; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords and strengthen your pegs For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left. And your descendants will possess nations and will resettle the desolate cities.” Isaiah 54:2-3 NIV

“My bride, I am calling you to occupy, rule and reign from your rightful place of authority! Your identity is in Me! You are seated with Me in heavenly places. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven (Matthew 18:18). No more sidelines! This is your time to step into your rightful identity as Kings and Priests! It is time to occupy and advance with Me, says the Lord of Hosts!”
