The Lord is highlighting how we see or perceive circumstances and the world around us is very important today.  The Lord says that He will give us eyes to see in the spirit what can’t be seen in the natural.  The Lord says that He will give us eyes to see what He is seeing!  Wow!!  What a promise and what an opportunity.  With that seeing comes understanding and insight into situations and circumstances that cannot be known any other way.

In scripture Paul prays for the spiritual eyes of the Ephesian people to be opened.  As our spiritual eyes are opened, we will begin to see how God is moving and the power of His promises at work.

Ephesians 1.18-19 NASB
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might.

•  KJV says, “...the eyes of your understanding...”
•  The definition of the Greek word for understanding is your mind, your way of thinking and feeling.
•  Enlightened means to give light, to instruct, inform, to give understanding of.
  • The way we think and how we feel about things, how we see things in our mind and emotions, what is our understanding of the situation – the Lord will fill with light or illuminate so that we can see the truth.
  • This is what opening the eyes of your heart does!!
    

I prophesy over each one reading this: “Now lift up your eyes and see from the place that you are. See the hand of God moving.  See His goodness in the land. See that His grace is sufficient!  See the kingdom of God is advancing.  See that people are being healed and delivered.  See that hearts are open to the Gospel.  See the outpouring of the Spirit of God is already here.  Hear the sound of freedom that sets the captives free.  See breakthrough.  See His provision.  See His great love is surrounding you and your family.

The sound that is being played on the keyboard – a sound that is going up the scale and down the scale -- God is speaking out of that sound.  For the Lord would say, hear this sound.  This is the sound of the movement of My kingdom.  My kingdom is in you and My kingdom is moving in and through you.  Stand in this place where the sound of heaven is being released and receive an impartation.  It is an impartation of the kingdom of God.  There is an activation in your spirit that God is releasing through this sound.  This is for us corporately and individually.  Hear the sound of His kingdom and the movement of His kingdom in your heart.  God’s kingdom is shifting and moving in this time.  It is now!  Receive the sound of His kingdom.

You are Mine.  I have chosen you.  Don’t look for another – I have chosen you.  And My words says that out of your belly will flow rivers of living water and out of those rivers you will hear My voice.  As you begin to hear My voice you will begin to know My plans for the earth.  For you are the chosen ones that I have given My authority to.  Yield to what I am doing on the inside of you.  Don’t look for another you are My chosen ones.

Reach to His word.  Reach to claim His word – reach to it.  Reach to the heavens and grab His word.  And then just suck it in – feel it, feel the word.  Feel the power of His word.  Feel the power of God working through you.  Feel the power of God working in you and through you.  Feel it deep down in your heart.  

Yes, I am that I am!  I am the Great I Am!  I have called you here today – whether you are in this building or listening online.  I have called you and have placed you into My body.  One body, many members.  I have healed the leper with My hand, and I will move in this season to heal through your hand.  For I am in you, and you are in Me.  Receive My love in all of its fullness.  Let My love be unrestrained and full in you.  I am love, and My love will move through you.  In this season I have placed you in position for My purposes.

I am opening the eyes of your heart to see what you can’t see with the natural eye.  For I have given you a glimpse into the spirit realm.  I am showing you what I am seeing and what I am perceiving.  And I giving you spiritual eyes to see what I am seeing.  To see beyond the natural and as you begin to see, I will give you the words to speak to those things that are not as though they were.  For you have been looking at the natural things.  But in the spirit I am changing your very most inner-being.  I am giving you a new directive and that directive is to see in the spirit.  For what you see in the spirit is more real than what you see in the natural.  For what I see will supersede what your physical eyes can see.  So, begin to see and perceive in the spirit.  I am opening the eyes of your heart as you press into Me.  As you honor Me and worship Me in Spirit and in Truth you will begin to see an inner light begin to shine.  As you press in, it will become brighter and brighter.  This is the light and glory of My Spirit says the Lord – for where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty and freedom.

Begin to see with your spirit man.  Begin to experience freedom in your innermost being.  For out of your innermost being will flows rivers of living water, and it is beginning to bubble up this hour and at this time because I am breathing a fresh breath of fire to consume all of the chaff – to consume all that is not of Me.  Allow the fresh fire to come in and burn up all of the old and allow Me to breathe in fresh new life.  These are times I am forming new wine skins for the new wine that I am pouring out and preparing.  Allow Me to form that new wine skin and out of that wine skin will flow rivers.  See with the eyes of your heart.  Let Me open your eyes into a new dimension and a new realm.

I am Jehovah Jireh.  I am asking you to come up the mountain of the Lord.  To come up just like Abraham sacrificed Isaac out of obedience to Me.  I am asking you to check on your heart and what is dear to you that you are holding on to.  This is a day and hour I am asking you to surrender to Me because I see your need, and I see your desire before you even know it.  And I know how it will all come to pass.  I am the God who sees.  And I see you.

Put what you have been trusting that is not God on the altar and let Him consume it.  Some of you are stuck.  Put what is straw, stubble and hay on the altar and let God burn it up.  God says I will replace it with what is precious, what is silver and gold.  For I am a refining fire.  See Me consuming what you bring to the altar.  Also see Me consume you with My love and My presence.  For I never take away and burn up what is of Me.  I am giving you treasure beyond what you can think or imagine.  Receive.

The sound of true and pure worship is being released.  It is a declarative sound and a love song to our Father and King.  It is filled with strong faith declaring that God is who He says that He is.  God is calling us into a place of deep intimacy that bows in reverence and awe of the reality of who He is.  Our hearts cry out in adoration as we ascribe glory to His Name.  It is a beautiful and life sustaining intensity that fills our heart and empowers us to stand strong – filling us with courage and boldness.

This is a time the Lord is saying worship Me intensely.  The intensity of worship supersedes all else.  Love intensely.  Believe intensely.  Hope intensely.  Rejoice intensely.  Intensity releases a sound and God Himself is enthroned and ascends out of the sound of our worship.  God is shifting us beyond where we have been.  This requires great intensity.  He is shifting us to bring forth a harvest.  Through intensity God is bringing expansion and resetting boundaries.  God is shaking all that can be shaken and this produces intensity.

The Lord says, I made the moon and the stars.  I made the cosmos – the universe, the trees and the rocks.  And I have even made you!  My government is in you.  My rule and reign is throughout the universe.  And you are My voice.  So speak My heart and speak My word into the cosmos.  Speak My word to the stars and the moon and the sun.  Speak My word to the cities and the nations.  Speak My word to your own heart and to your family.  This is a time that I am revealing My rule and My reign throughout the universe and in the earth, and in the nations of the earth.  This is My time, and you are My voice.

I heard the Lord say, today I have brought increase.  Today I have increased your capacity and increased your revelation.  I have increased your understanding, and I have increased your knowledge.  This is a year that you will experience much increase.  Increase will come in multiple ways.  The Lord says, watch My hand and hear My word to see the increase that I bring in your life.  I will bring increase through your life to impact your spheres of influence.  The Lord says, I am the One who brings the increase.  So, believe My word!  I am the God of Truth, and I am the God of reality.  I am not only your reality, I am also the reality in this earth realm.  The earth is Mine and the fullness thereof.  And I have increased your capacity today.  I will increase your capacity again and again.  Today I have filled you.  Tomorrow, I have even more to give you.  This is a year of increase, upon increase, upon increase.

The Lord says this is a time to turn to God.  He is not calling your neighbor – He is calling you!  You are the one.  You are the one to raise the dead.  You are the one to lay hands on the sick.  Be My willing vessels.  Receive the anointing that I have already given you.  Walk forward into the revolution and you will see the manifestation in the land of those things that I have already called to be.

This revolution is starting in the realm of the spirit.  The war is against powers and principalities.  Declare that Jesus is Lord!  That is revolution.  It is beginning in the spirit.  For as it is in you heaven so it will be on earth.  You are releasing the power for miracles.  You have been empowered for this.  Every time you declare My name you are declaring revolution.

I am with you.  Open your heart to My Spirit.  This is a year of revelation and know that I am with you always.  Where you go, I go.  I go before you and pave the way, and I go behind you and bring in the harvest.  I am with you.  Be filled today.  Take in My Spirit.

God says, I am not ashamed of you.  I am not ashamed to call you My own.  I am not ashamed to call you, My children.  I am not ashamed because you are cleansed.  You are clean.  You walk in My righteousness.  I am not ashamed to move through you.  I am not ashamed to speak through you.  I am not ashamed to show that you belong to Me.  I am not ashamed to give you My words and let you boldly proclaim them.

So I am calling you – I am calling you to go forward.  I am calling you to break off limitations.  I am calling you to look and see this is a new year.  This is a new time for you to step forward.

Laugh at the enemy.  He has no power.  He is disabled.  Laugh at the devil.  Laugh at him.

Stand in awe of Me.  And stand for Me.  Stand for Me in your families and in your workplace.  Stand for Me in your community.  Stand for me everywhere you go.  Let My presence in you be magnified.  My presence brings restoration and peace.  In My presence is joy and power.  This is the time to make a stand.  Stand and stand firm and see My glory manifest.

Let the overwhelming of awe you have of Me break forth.  Declare the mysteries of God into the earth.

Learn to step into your worship, for truly when you stand in awe of Me all your focus is on Him.  There will be a revolution and a revelation in your innermost being.  Learn how to step in.  As you step in you will begin to step out of the old thing.  Every time you move forward you are moving away from the old and moving into the new.  Learn how to experience Me in your time of worship.  Experience Me in your prayer time ad when you read the Word.  Learn to step in and become part.

You are the chosen.  You are the ones that I have proclaimed that it is your inheritance to walk boldly into your positions that I have called you to.  The kingdom of God is inside of you.  Believe it and release it.  Walk into your purpose.

Your inheritance and your destiny are to stand before the throne.  Before the throne you will hear My word and from before the throne, I will send you into the earth to see My kingdom come.  Your legacy is to worship.  Worship Me in awe and worship Me in spirit and in truth.  Come boldly into My presence and worship Me.  For in My presence is an open door and I have invited you to come in.

Some are asking, How Lord?  How does Your kingdom come, and Your will be done?  God says, it is easy.  It is as easy as breathing.  You don’t stay up all night saying I must breathe in now and then I must breathe out.  Just allow Me to penetrate every fiber of your being.  For I am in you, and you are in Me.  And where you go, I go.  Abide in Me and I will abide in you.  For we are one.

Happy New Year 2023!  A year to rise up and be powerful in the Lord.  The Lord is saying, "Arise and be powerful!"  Rise up and stand in His power.  In His power there is strength and the ability to endure.  Step into His power and be powerful.  His power is ALL POWERFUL!  End 2022 in His power and throughout 2023 arise and be powerful in Christ.

Power has a sound.  It is the sound of confidence and courage.  It creates language and a narrative of believing that God is able.  Power breathes hope and vision for what is coming.  The sound of power inspires and draws attention because it is the sound of establishing victory.  2023 is a year to advance.

Prophetic Words Released at Harvest Christian Church:

As you make room in your hearts for Me, says the Spirit of the Lord, you make room for My kingdom.  Did I not ask you pray for My kingdom come upon the earth as it is in heaven?  My kingdom has come by My Spirit that I have put within you.  I have told you to follow after righteousness, peace and joy and every time you do and wherever you are at you will see My kingdom manifest on earth as it is in heaven.  Many are waiting for My kingdom, but I have already brought My kingdom.  Did I not say that My kingdom would be within you?  As you give yourself to the working of My Spirit on the inside of you, you will see the manifestation of My kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.  For this is the hour and this is the season for you to cooperate with Me.  As you cooperate with Me and become a participant you will grow more into what I am doing.  What I am doing is what I am saying.  And what I am saying is what I am saying.  As you have an ear to hear what I am saying you will have the courage to do what I am doing by My spirit that is within you.

I am pouring out.  Drink from Me, for with every drink that you take what is not of me falls away from you.  So drink of Me this day – drink of Me right now.  What I have for you is more than what the world has for you…this is a time to approach Me and everything that is not of Me to fall away.  As you drink it will fall away.

Open the gates of heaven.  Open them right now!

The Lord says, take hold of My passion – it is non-ending.  Take hold of My passion – it overcomes every fear, it overcomes every enemy.  Take hold of My passion for you for My passion is stronger than anything that the enemy can bring.  I have conquered all.  Turn to Me.  Take hold of My passion and let it fill your life.  You are Mine, says the Lord and I have made you conquerors.  Take hold of My passion for I have died for you and have risen from the dead for you.  My passion for you is strong and My love for you is great.

There is never-ending love for you in God’s heart.  You never have to earn it.  Just be willing to be one that is like God.

For I am a holy God and I love My creation so much I gave My only Son Jesus Christ that you might believe on Him and have eternal life, life more abundantly.  I am a holy God and Christ in you is holy.  I look at you and I see My Son.  Lean into Him.  Bring Him out of your innermost being.  Let His light shine through you.  You are holy even as I am holy.  All of creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God.  This is the hour and this is the time, open your mouth and praise Me.  Every problem that you have, every pain, every issue, is s solved in Jesus.  Christ in you is the hope of glory.

For surely I am in your presence here today.  Hear My voice, hear what I am saying to you.  This day, my sons and daughters, I am speaking to the Body of Christ – My body on the earth today.  I have surely risen.  Honor the sacrifice of My son and your Savior Jesus Christ.  Allow Me to come into your hearts and minds to the fullest.  In this hour and this day, I say to you arise Body of Christ.  Arise!  Arise!  This is the hour, and this is the time that you shall arise.  I am awakening the minds, the hearts and souls of the Body of Christ across this nation.  As Michigan rises up so will this nation!  Now I am saying move, don’t hold back.  As I am, so are you.  I have put Christ in you.  So live and move and have your being in Me.

Listen to God.  Listen to the only God, your Creator, Your Father – the One who created the whole world.  He created the stars, the moon, the heavens.  He created the world for us to be in, and for us to love people.

Yes, sons and daughters, it is I says the Lord.  Hear Me.  I desire for you to arise.  Arise!  Shine, for the glory of the Lord is on you.  For the Lion of the tribe of Judah roars.  And you are that tribe says the Lord.  When you release My roar everything comes to attention.  So arise!  This is your finest hour.  Arise!  Go out into the highways and byways and compel them to come.  For the people shall be drawn by the way of My glory, by the way of My love, by the ways of My signs, wonders and miracles that operate in you.  Now is the time –arise and shine!

He that has an ear let him hear, this not just another day this is a new day.  This is the open heaven that you have been crying out for.  This is a new day so cut off all the familiar.  This is no longer the same old, same old.  I am doing a new thing and I am accelerating the new thing and the process of the new thing.  You will see things that you only imagined and dreamed would be possible in a future generation.  For now is new day and the time of an open heaven.  And heaven is invading earth and is coming by way of your heart and by My Spirit.  So, arise and shine for this is a time of the glory of the Lord filling the whole earth.  I have set this time and I am releasing My time into the earth.  This is not chronos time – it is a Kairos time.  A specific time that I have placed into My calendar.  It is a time of heaven invading earth.  Step into the new day – do not wait any longer.  Don’t say that in four months comes the harvest for the harvest is already here.  So, lift up your eyes and look at Me and see what I see.  Now is the time of My outpouring on the earth.  Now is the time of heaven invading earth.  Receive.  Receive.

Be a doer of My word.  As you engage with My word in every area of your life you will go to the next level.  All that I have called you to will begin to be manifested.  Powers and principalities will try to intimidate you to not engage with Me, but as you seek Me and declare My voice and My word all of heaven and earth will bow.

Christmas is a time we remember that God announced joy to the world at the birth of Jesus.  That our Savior and Deliverer had come into the earth and that as we lift up Jesus He will draw all people to Himself.  Be filled with fresh joy as you remember the great things that God has done in your life and in your family.  Just as the Lord spoke to the shepherds and the wise men at the birth of Jesus, so is the Lord still speaking to us today.  His word is near us, it is in our hearts and in our mouths.  Testify of the good things God has done in your life as you greet friends and family in this Christmas season.  Speak the name of Jesus.  

Today is a day to embrace what God is speaking to your heart.  God is for you and His blessings are on you.  He is keenly aware of our lives, our struggles and our desires.  He is our ever-present help in life.  Through Holy Spirit, He gives us wisdom and understanding.  In Philippians 4 the Lord says to rejoice (be glad, delight yourself, take pleasure in Him) in the Lord always and then continue to rejoice.  Again, this is the season of joy as we celebrate Jesus.  We are the redeemed of the Lord.  We have been born of the Spirit and are a new creation, the old is gone and the new has come.  This is the gift of God.   This is tangible demonstration of His great love for us.

Be encouraged by this prophetic word from Chuck Pierce at Glory of Zion:

“You will be able to stand and stand securely in days ahead.  I will enlighten you on who you are and who you are not.  Who you are in Me is engraved on the palm of My hand.  Now watch Me engrave and implant you in the rock of My name.”

“I’m taking the cloud off your vision.  I’m enhancing your vision for you to see beyond and bring it here, into this earth-realm.  Do not be dismayed by what you see right now for I AM the God of the future.  You are to go in, extract, and pull out that holy vision of what I have already prepared and bring it here into this earth-realm.  Watch the vision of this earth begin to change.  Don’t be deceived. Enhanced vision and a new assignment don’t mean you have to necessarily labor or work for that. Labor from a position of rest; see from a position of rest.

“Watch how creative I AM, to cause you to see.  I am causing you to see and shine in a new way!  Even in the darkness that begins to surround, you’ll be able to see, for I have laser-eyes that I am putting in My people.  You’ll be able to see in a way you’ve not seen before.  You’ll see past that which has tried to cause you to be depressed.  Know this, that depression will be ‘seen past’.”

Prophetic words release wisdom, revelation, insight, understanding and knowledge given to us by the Spirit of God.  John 16 says that Holy Spirit will guide you and me into all truth; He will even tell us what is yet to come!!  1 Corinthians 14 says eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.  Chapter 14 goes on to tell us that everyone that prophesies speaks to the people for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.  Those who prophesy edify or build up the church.

As you read the following prophetic words let strength pour into your heart and bones, let your mind and resolve be strengthened.  Be encouraged in your faith and encouraged to stand strong believing God is able to keep His promises.  Be comforted that God’s got this.  Let your emotions and frazzled nerves be comforted and soothed.  Be inspired in your dreams and goals, those things that you desire to accomplish.

There is MEAT in these prophetic words.  The Lord tells us in Psalm 23.5 that God prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies.  Find the meat in these prophetic words that are for you and set on the banquet table by God Himself for you to eat, so eat and be strengthened, encouraged, gain wisdom, understanding and insight.  

Let me share a few of the delectables that the Lord has set before us on the banquet table in front of our enemies.  Take and eat these prophetic words.  Take them into your inner being and receive.  Here are some key phrases to look for and take in from these prophetic words spoken specifically to us at Harvest.  The Lord has put on your plate: FREEDOM, BREAKTHROUGH, LOVE, THE DOOR IS OPEN, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, DRAW NEAR, GOD HAS PROVISION FOR YOU.

This is what God has put on your plate.  He knows what we need to be strengthened and to gain wisdom and insight.  Prophetic words equip you, build your faith and draw you closer in relationship with the Lord.  They are not spooky or weird – they are our Father talking to us.  

O, taste and see that the Lord is good.

Excerpts from prophetic words over the last month:

I am the King of Glory.  I have put My Spirit within you.  The multitudes around you are looking for the liberty that I have put within you by My spirit.  As you become more sensitive to My Spirit, you will release My glory and My freedom.  The multitudes are waiting.  Yield and give yourself to Me.  I want to release the liberty of My glory in you and through you.  The multitudes are looking for what I have put inside of you.  What I have put in you is looking to be released.  

God’s love is trapped energy inside of you - always making more energy.  

My children, I have an open door says the Lord.  The door is open wide.  All the supply that you need is in that room that I have supplied just for you.  Every need that you have – emotional needs, health needs, financial needs, all that you need just step through My door.  Step through My door as you worship Me.  Come forth singing, dancing and shouting praises to Me.  I have an open door for each of you.  

I am here says the Lord.  Your healer is here.  Arise!  You are the worship says the Lord – you are the sweet incense of worship.  Arise and shine!  For the light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.  You are My worshipping warriors – worship Me, says the Lord.  Press for the mark.  I have no pleasure in those that draw back.  Draw near.  Draw near, for I get pleasure from your worship.  Tap into Me, for you are My worshipping warriors.  You are My glory carriers.  Christ in you, the hope of glory.  There are those that are waiting for the light to come forth from you.  So arise!  Press!  There is a blessing in the press.  

Even as I call you deeper and you come into that deeper place, you will find that I am your full provision.  For I am the peace that you seek and the wisdom you desire.  I am your supply.  I am the breath that you breathe.  I will fill you with My presence in this time.  In the place of infilling in your spirit I will cause your spirit to soar.  And you will start to fly on the wind of My Spirit.  Those things that you think that have you trapped or held down or tethered, you will begin to know that they are only an illusion.  My strength and My power in you are able to bring you into the destiny that I have for you.  Let go – let go of the past, let go of those things that you think that have entrapped you.  I have put My freedom in you.  Come into the deep.  Come into this place of encounter and soar, soar above.

I heard God say don’t wait until you are perfect.  Come as you are.  Don’t wait until you feel that you are ready.  Come as you are.  It is through your imperfections that I work perfection.  It is through your imperfections that I get the glory.  I bring together all of the pieces that you thought were not good enough or not ready and I make them ready.  Stop waiting until you think that you are ready.  That is pride – cast it down.  Rise up and step boldly into faith. step boldly into purpose and step boldly into perfection.  What I, the Lord, declare is perfection over you.  

I hear the Lord saying that I am the God of BREAKTHROUGH!  There is nothing that can hold you back.  I am calling you out of your safe place.  I am advancing in this day and in this hour – I am above all powers and principalities; I am above all that man can do.  I am your God, and you are My people, and I am breaking you out and breaking you through and I am breaking you into.  Into the future.  Into advancement.  Into victory!

Even as I take you out of your safe place, I will bring you into My safe place.  For My safe place is where I want to set you free.  It is not in the natural but in the Spirit.  For where the Spirit of the Lord is there is FREEDOM!  So, I am taking you out of the natural familiar place – I am taking you out of your safe place in the natural and I am bringing you into My safe house.  And My house is a place of My presence.  Come and join Me as we move together as one, says the Lord.  This is a day where I am declaring jubilee.  I am declaring that this is an hour of true freedom.  I would say to you, “Look to hear.”  You would say, “Look to hear?”  Yes, you must look to hear and see freedom before you experience it.  Come into My presence, for there is freedom.  And where the Spirit of the Lord is there is true freedom!  So come in!!  Come in!

We have entered the new Hebraic year.  It is the year 5783.  Narratives will become even stronger – each narrative wants to frame the future for the new era we are entering.  There will be more warfare.  In the prophetic words below God has something to say about narratives – who and what to believe. 

We are still in the decade of the voice.  God says in Hebrews 4.12 that His word or narrative is alive and active sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

In this new year there will be an increase in intensity and an increase in how fast things are moving.  There was a time the Lord spoke to Elijah and said gird up your loins and RUN!  The Lord is saying again to us – RUN!  Run with Him.  Run the race that He has marked out for you.  And to wait upon the Lord – to be one in heart with Him and you will be able to run and not grow weary.  Be strong and courageous.  Don’t believe everything you hear from media and in coffee conversations.  Paul told the Colossians, “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.”

Be encouraged.  Be filled.  Be empowered.  Step into revelation knowledge.  This is the role of the prophetic to the body – to you.  Receive it into your heart and soul, let your mind be renewed, let creativity flow, let the joy of the Lord be renewed inside of you.  God says you are the portal that His light shines through, let His light burst forth from you.  From where?  From Christ in you the hope of glory!

Excerpts from prophetic words over the last month:

For I am that God that is able – and I am your God.  I say to you that I am ABLE!  Whatever that thing is that is standing in front of You, I am able to bust it apart.  Wherever you need to go; I am able to get you there.  Whatever supply you need – I am able to bring it to your hands.  Whatever vision that I have put into your heart I am able to bring every engagement that will bring that vision into fruition.  For I am your God and I am able.  I am able to do all things – all things – all things!!  Because I am able.  I will take you into your future and I will bring you through the confusion and the chaos of now.  So keep eyes upon Me!  For this is a time to run, says the Lord.  There has been a time that you have been in that you had to stay in place, but now I say it is time to run!  Run with Me for I have taken you by the hand.  It is time to run!

For this is the point of crossover.  New releases.  New grace.  Be fortified in Me says the Lord.  My heart is for you.  There is peace.  There is grace.  Grace to do and grace to receive.  Grace to conquer and grace to strengthen others.  There is healing in your voice.  I provide all that you need.  I am the God of honor, the One that says My word shall be.  Cross over into this new destiny.  Cross over into the fulfillment that I have called you to.  This is now.  This is who you are.  You are warriors and watchmen.  This is true – this is My word.  This is My decree.

You are seated with Me in heavenly places today.  See yourself as an overcomer.  Abide in Me.  My word abides in you.  Ask what you will, says the Lord and it shall be given.  I will give you the nations as your inheritance – ask!  You are in Me, and I am in you.  See yourself seated in Me.  See yourself as an overcomer.  Everything that tries to block will be overcome.  

This is your new day Harvest Church – this is your new day!  So, give it out.  Push, push, push in the spirit.  Don’t go back!

This is the point of demonstration.  Some may say let me show you how it is done, let me demonstrate.  But the Father says, you are My demonstration.  My sons and daughters, My beloved ones, words cannot describe the grace and the love I have for you.  You are My appointed ones.  Love Me as I love you – demonstration.  This is the new.  Demonstrate to the world that I am that I am in you.  Truly a demonstration of grace and love and peace.  Release the longing of My heart in you.  Listen to the voice of your Father – listen and respond to His voice.  Step into the new.

Do you hear Me calling to you?  Do you hear Me saying, RISE UP!  You are brand new!  Everything that is past, everything that has been, is gone.  All things are new!  All things are new!  This is a day to step into the brand new.  Rise up into the brand new.  There is a new level to step into.  I am calling you to a new level.  You say, what is this?  I say even what was yesterday is like a grave.  I say to you rise up, rise up.  I am the light and the life.  Rise up to what is brand new!

For greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world has been your battle cry.  So, rise up!  There has been a destiny proclaimed over you – words of wisdom, words of declaration.  So, rise up, rise up.  Make your words the declaration of your heart.  Make your voice a healing tool.  Choose life!  You are My sons and daughters, My chosen ones.  My warriors.  My grace abounds in you.  

The Lord says to you, you are more than able.  I have given you eyes to see and ears to hear.  Open your eyes and open your ears!  Turn to Me and I will reveal all truth.  Look at My Word and I will give you wisdom and revelation knowledge to understand and know how to walk.  I am with you.  When I look at you, I see My sons and daughters in Christ.  Christ is in you, and you are hidden in Christ.  Christ in you is the hope of glory.  I am with you always.  Now is the time to speak My word and walk in truth.  I will reveal all truth to you.  

The Lord says, I have released the Spirit of Truth in this atmosphere today.  The Lord says there is no confusion in heaven.  The Lord says I do not have My foot on one side of the fence and My other foot on the other side of the fence.  My voice is clear, and My truth is clear.  My heart is clear on where I am going and what I want.  You are My body – you are My chosen ones.  You are the generation that is carrying My truth, so open your mouth and speak what I am speaking.  For the Spirit of Truth has come upon you today.  Even as in the day of Pentecost the pillar of fire came down upon My people, the Spirit of Truth came upon them.  Even today there is an infusion of My truth into your heart and into your bones and into your very lives.  So, grab hold of the truth and it will be your breath and it will be your energy.  It will be your strength and your breakthrough.
