ARISE, NEW TERRITORY AWAITS YOU!
I hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you and I for this very moment of time, that the season that many are in transition from has reached its fullness of time, it has yielded all it can yield. It is as though winter has unleashed all of its fury and released a record-breaking snowfall upon your land, but the earth has crossed over into the pathways of spring… the sun is warming the skies and winter cannot pass that threshold anymore, it is beginning to thaw. This season has yielded its fullness in your life and within the wider body of Christ and you are going to see fresh buds of promise blossoming on the vines of your heart. New pathways to discover, new promises to explore. I feel the Holy Spirit’s tender guidance in this moment, to be wary not to cling to or reach for the comforts that helped you through the past season for they will only hinder you now. The familiarities of what helped you survive in the last season will not be of any use to you in this coming season… I hear His whisper: “Where I am taking you will require your trust and dependence upon me. I am taking you where you have not yet been before, I am taking you into new lands of promise. It may be uncomfortable at first, but if you will fully lean into my embrace, I will provide you with all that you will need as we move forward.’
THE BORDERLINES OF PROMISE
I believe God is leading many into paths they have not yet been before, but only dreamed about. I believe that as we move past Resurrection Sunday, it’s as though your foot is crossing over the threshold from the land of transition and into the borderlines of your promise, the second hand has ticked past midnight and crossed over into a new day. I sense the Holy Spirit saying the coming weeks will be significant, and just as the Israelites were required to SEE the promised land before they fully crossed into it, you will begin to SEE with new eyes and perspective the promises that are before you. Where your vision was previously clouded by the terrain of circumstances surrounding you, I see revelation being released in the coming weeks that is IMPERATIVE to what has been promised you, so pay attention to what God is speaking. It is KEY that you partner with heaven in this moment, for the enemy would want to tempt you into agreement that the giants in the land are too big for you to conquer, but I hear the Spirit of God is saying, ‘NOW is the time to take the land for the giants are as grasshoppers before Me. Take what belongs to you.” I am reminded of the words of Caleb, one of the two spies who came back with a good report to take their promise:
Keys for this new season:
1.KEEP HIS PROMISES BEFORE YOU.
Pauls words to Timothy have been burning in my spirit for the last six months, and I believe many are on the threshold of crossing into significant breakthrough of unchartered terrain, but have been stuck in cycles of doubt. I believe God is speaking these words to your heart today:
2.ADVANCE BY FAITH IN REST
This is not a time of striving or fear, but rather, a time of continual rest in what He has spoken and said. Be vigilant to avoid conversations that would lead you into fear, but keep your heart filled with faith… decree faith words every time your heart is tempted to fear. What He has spoken, will come to pass.
3.LET GO OF WHAT LIES BEHIND.
I feel this one key is imperative for you and I as we cross over into the promised lands before us. I believe many have been frozen in a state of fear, disbelief or even shock. Circumstances and loss have caught you off guard, and you’ve been left feeling as though there is no hope for a way forward. I believe the Holy Spirit is gently leading you and guiding you to give Him the disappointment and devastation. I see Him giving you new eyes with a new lens to see fresh hope rising on the horizon. This season, both with its highs and it’s lows, has reached its fullness and it cannot yield any more. It is time to move forward into the new.
I prophesy that the next eight weeks from Resurrection Sunday will be MARKERS of taking NEW ground, a significant time of CROSSING over and INTO the fullness of His promises for your life. Get ready to MOVE as God leads you into places you didn’t think you were qualified for, but I am here to tell you – YOU ARE MORE THAN ABLE, for it is His Spirit that is opening new doors, new strategies and new opportunities before you. It is His Spirit that will empower you to walk across those new thresholds and conquer the giants in them, you may encounter giants you didn’t think you were qualified to defeat, but the Lord is saying to you this day: ‘ARISE AND CONQUER. MOVE FORWARD UNAFRAID. FOR I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE LAND AS YOUR INHERITANCE!!!’
