I HAVE COME AS YOUR DELIVERER!
I sense the heart of the Lord as He sends encouragement to the body of Christ. I hear the Lord saying, “I am bringing sustainable breakthrough in this hour! Yea, I have seen the discouragement of many because they have seen a measure of breakthrough only to see circumstances revert back to old cycles. You have seen a trickle of breakthrough which has brought you both hope and discouragement. Now get ready”, says the Lord! “Get ready to see a flood! Get ready, for I am bringing My people sustained and lasting breakthrough! I am breaking the back of old cycles! I am reversing the curse! Hear the roar of the Lord as My gavel has come down! Enough is enough! Let My people go! I am arising on your behalf and I now come as your deliverer! I roar over you as your mighty protector and deliverer,” says the Lord of the battle!
“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14 BSB
I AM MAKING A WAY THAT YOU DO NOT YET SEE
“Even as the children of Israel were being aggressively pursued by the armies of Pharaoh, all natural circumstances seemed hopeless. Cornered on all sides, they saw no way of escape. The enemy gloated then and he is gloating now! The enemy is counting his victory before the battle is over! Did I not uncover a hidden and new battle strategy for My children in that moment? Did I not draw My people through the Red Sea to both deliver them and destroy their pursuers? I did it then and I come now to do it again in this generation! I am making a way that you do not yet see! Rejoice in faith,” says the Lord, “as I am making a way, even now!”
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea. During the last watch of the night the LORD looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion. He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The LORD is fighting for them against Egypt.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the LORD swept them into the sea. The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived. But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. That day the LORD saved Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore. And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand of the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the LORD and put their trust in him and in Moses his servant. Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: “I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea.” Exodus 14:21 – 15:1 NIV
ADVANCE AND OCCUPY
“Strengthen your resolve,” says the Lord, “and do not lay down your sword, for this is your time to arise! Shake the dust of the former season! Advance and occupy, for a new season is on the horizon! Truly, your new season is here! Do you not perceive it? Let your faith grab ahold of this even when your physical eyes cannot yet see! You shall recover all! Nothing missing and nothing broken,” says the Lord! “I will restore what has been robbed in your former season. Truly, your weeping will turn to great joy as I bring you sustained and lasting breakthrough! Lift your head and lift your eyes for your redemption draws nigh! It is closer than you realize!”
SHAKEN CONFIDENCE RESTORED
“Do not look to the distractions that the enemy would seek to place in your path. Do not miss what I am doing in this hour,” says the Lord! “Stay focused and continue to be about your Father’s business. Truly, great and mighty things are taking place in the earth; even things deeply hidden in darkness are being exposed to the light! I will restore your shaken confidence, even to the extent that generations not yet born will hear and marvel at the goodness of your Father! Truly, you will testify of My goodness in the land of the living! Be assured this day that I am bring sustained and lasting breakthrough! Lift your eyes, for I will do this”, says the Lord of Hosts!
“One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate, and go out by it. Their King will pass through before them, the LORD as their leader.” Micah 2:13
