I delayed writing as there was so much turmoil swirling around, and I could not seem to focus my mind on things above. It is during times like this that we stand on “it is written.” Thankfully, I had enough clarity to worship Him. As a “feeler” prophet, I need to take much needed space to reset and gain proper perspective.
As I write this, I do so from my home in High Point, a few hours away from the majestic mountains of North Carolina. So many friends live in devastation and thankfully they have all survived, but many without their homes. In times of chaos and uncertainty on so many fronts, you begin to understand that life is but a vapor, and what seems to be important in one season can seem so insignificant in another. For many months, the Lord had been preparing my heart. I could not quire discern it at the time, but He spoke a word to me this past spring. He said, “Don’t be task oriented, be people oriented.” I would tell others that I was called to love the person in front of me. The once weightiness of taking on a national ministry, in addition to serving others, has become clearer in the last month. I am being reduced to just being a love vessel. We need prophets who love unconditionally, speak truth in love, and prophesy the heart of God not just from a gift. They can walk away from the limelight to serve humanity. The beauty of the gospel is demonstrated in the man who walked the earth feeding the multitudes and suffering much shame and ridicule for you and me to have the ultimate role model. I am humbled beyond words that I fall short so many times; yet the love of God is the most powerful force on the earth, and very few understand the simplicity of letting God in the deep places of the heart. So how shall we live in these perilous times? We are called to live above the snake line, gain heaven’s perspective, and discipline our minds to live in the superior realm. We often boast that we are supernatural people, yet we hold onto patterns of thinking that cause us to react as the world does. There has been a clarion call to take the time to be still, reset, and let the Ruach Breath of God fill you with all that you need in this hour. It is imperative as believers to keep your lamps full. There is an unending supply of fresh oil, fresh fire, and most importantly the Father’s embrace to keep you in peace and joy despite sorrow and despair all around. We will be the safe place. This is the power to transform society. Perhaps our prayers for revival are being answered in a way we did not expect. I saw a man rescuing a woman and a baby from a car about to move downstream in the flood. Boots on the ground have been our mantra. Perhaps this is that; just a thought. Like the flight attendant tells you when you’re about to fly, put on your own oxygen mask before you put one on someone else. So, my prophetic word to you is quite simple. You are God’s chosen vessel in this hour. Let God lavish so much love on you that you have more than enough to release to others with simple acts of kindness and the demonstration of signs and wonders. Let Holy Spirit lead the way. Hold things very loosely in this hour so you can swiftly change courses if necessary. There is an increase in discernment and understanding as we move forward. We will need it in the hour in which we live. Do not forsake gathering with the body. We have been placed here IN this hour and FOR this hour. Holy Spirit is always right alongside empowering us, leading us, and releasing heaven’s perspective. I bless you to see, hear, and be strengthened with power in your inner man. I stand with the apostle Paul and decree this to you. “And I pray that He would pour out over you the unlimited riches of His glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with His divine might and explosive power. When your spiritual strength increases you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences-the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far and reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement, beyond academic knowledge, this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God. Eph. 3:17-19 (TPT)
