I have a word specifically for those who have come into 2020 feeling intense resistance and still needing some major things to shift and move into position, for doors to open, and for breakthrough to come especially in 11th-hour situations. 

AWAKE, AWAKE, SHAKE OFF THE DUST!

A few days ago I felt a heaviness people were feeling. It was a spiritual assignment of lethargy, weariness, and even burnout from the past season. People have crossed over, eager to experience the new God has for them but are just straight up too tired to fight and battle anymore and after already facing some significant setbacks and obstacles have been feeling defeated and some like they are headed for breakdown. 

The Lord asked me to prophesy through Isaiah 52:1-2;

“Beautiful Zion, put on your majestic strength! Put on your glory garments! Arise and shake-off your dust! Break off your shackles of bondage from your neck!” (Paraphrased)

Then I heard the Lord say “This is not their breaking month, this is their breaker month!” So I prophesy that over you right now – the weariness must lift off you right now and you are going to feel new strength come upon you! Jesus your breaker has gone before you to clear the road in this new season! 

“The One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the LORD at their head.” Micah 2:13

MOVING PIECES, CLOSED DOORS, & NEW PATHWAYS 

I have been sensing the sudden merging and converging of many pieces, the old era and the new and where they cross-sect and how many are m anxiously trying to navigate this new season and wonder how it will all come together. I have also sensed that many have been experiencing closed doors in areas they never imagined would be blocked, which can be hard when you place a lot of hope and expectation on a particular door. But you need to know that God didn’t lead you that way to tease you – He just has a better way of getting you there or a better door for you that may not be seeing right now. A week ago I received an email that was a closed-door for something I was banking on and instantly remembered Isaiah 43:19;

“I am making a way in the wilderness” Isaiah 43:19

Within a day that particular expectation turned around through another route. Many are facing closed doors right now and feeling crushed by disappointment but watch as God makes a way in the wilderness for you. A different route. A different door. An avenue or angle you didn’t think of or expect. What if He is protecting you and preserving you so you can walk in a new pathway He has created for you? 

I CAN HEAR THE SOUND OF HOOVES – THE REINFORCEMENTS ARE HERE! 

I was in worship last night praying over my nation and the current fire crisis when I heard the thundering voice of the Holy Spirit tell me to stand to my feet (I was laying down worshiping previously) and as I did I began to feel a rumbling underneath my feet and heard the sound of a stampede. Then I saw in the spirit that down underneath my feet or just below me was a stampede of horses and chariots charging at such a high speed. I didn’t know what I was seeing at first or why I was seeing it until I felt something suddenly break in the spirit as if something blocked had come unblocked and something that was in contention was suddenly released. I saw the prayers of those praying for our nation and the Lord was releasing angels to assist the situation. 

But I knew that what I saw was not just for Australia, this was the horses and chariots of God’s angel armies who were the reinforcements coming with the sole purpose to BREAKTHROUGH where there was TERRITORIAL RESISTANCE. 

DO YOU SEE? THERE IS MORE FOR YOU THAN AGAINST YOU! 

I was reminded of 2 Kings 6 where Elisha opens the eyes of his fearful servant and he saw the hills and mountains full of horses and chariots because it seemed like the battle was going to be lost – in the natural…

What can you see right now? Are you looking at the battle through the natural or in the spirit? I feel as though this month God is RECALIBRATING us for this new decade. We MUST see differently. We have to have different eyes. What 11th-hour problems do you face right now? What dire situation is looking like it could be your ruin? LISTEN for the hooves, LOOK for the chariots… you are not on your own! In fact, I ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes in Jesus’ name! 

YOUR ROAR IS YOUR BREAKTHROUGH!

On New Year’s Day I had a special moment with the Lord. I was on my porch talking to him and thanking Him – because a year ago I personally walked through one of my life’s most painful experiences which almost took me out. Suddenly I heard (on the inside of me) a terrifying roar from the Lord. It was a roar of justice and vindication, of setting things right and redeeming what was lost. 

The church is finding its roar in this decade and we will be a mighty voice and sound in the earth, roaring over every injustice we see and righting it. But I want to highlight that RIGHT NOW that roar is your weapon against the doubt, fears, and injustices you see around you. There is a roar coming through you in this season that will DISARM every attack and cut off access to every violation trying to stunt your growth. This is the month you feel the breaker anointing of the roar of Judah burst out THROUGH you and stop the enemy in his tracks. 

Watch as his roar BREAKS every hindrance and every obstacle this month. Watch as His roar pulls you into the new day we are in, and separates the old. Watch as it sets a new standard of outcome in your life where you have only seen loss and defeat because the Lord is breaking your ties with the past season and breaking through for you so you can break out! Watch this month as God BREAKS OPEN the way for you in ways you didn’t expect in Jesus’ name!
