The Grand Pause – Before the Great Release! – A Word by Faith Marie Baczko

Recently, I published a prophetic word where I heard the Lord say: “A FREEFALL is occurring. As corporations go into freefall the enemy is enraged, is mobilizing, and preparing counterassaults. Don’t be surprised as the earth begins to rumble. Hear the sound of rumbling under the surface that is about to erupt. My strong Right Arm is raised and will descend upon multinational corporations and governments founded on deep malevolent Luciferian practices. Their foundations go deep into the very bowels of hell. I also will go deep, reaching into the very core and root of the corruption. This will cause tremors and earthquakes to break out in key places where the gates of hell have been opened. The deep rumbling of the storm of My Presence is rolling through the earth and will be felt by all.
Shortly after I published this word, the Lord dropped the word ‘Firefall’ into my spirit. I had never heard this word before and did some investigating that brought much revelation of the things God is saying for this hour. Firstly, I discovered that a firefall refers a tree whose fall is caused by the partial destruction of its roots in a ground fire. I believe God was referring to what He had shown me in this word regarding the freefall of governments, and multinational corporations that are falling. These are firefalls, that are toppling and going into a freefall caused by ground fires.
Ground fire is the second thing the Lord had me investigate. I had never heard of a ground fire, so with some digging I found that, wildfires can start in thesubterranean level as ground fires and gradually grow to form surface fires after breaching to the surface. Unlike surface fires which are easily put out,ground fires are tough to contain due to their existence below the surface.
With this revelation, the Lord then said, “My people have not been aware of the power of their prayers—prayers that I have empowered at the deep subterranean levels of the Earth now causing the toppling of the high towers of death and iniquity.” This was confirming what the Lord said in the previous word: ‘I also will go deep reaching into the very core and root of the corruption.’ He continued: “The prayers of my saints are working from deep within the ground… up, causing a shaking and creating cracks in the Earth’s systems.” Again, confirming what He had said previously: ‘This will cause tremors and earthquakes to break out in key places where the gates of hell have been opened.” “The Earth is rumbling and shaking with the movement of My Spirit through the voice of the prayers of the Armies of the Living God. Be encouraged, your prayers are not in vain!
Watch for earthquakes occurring in the nations of the Earth as My Plumb Line of Justice and Truth falls, working to create fractures and divisions in the systems of these demonic entities. The great buildup of stress and iniquitous energy in the Earth is creating fault lines that will cause earthquakes and much confusion within the enemy’s camp. Many will be shaken and come out from under the mesmerizing spirit that has ensnared them. Pray for My Mercy to fall on them.
The Lord then had me investigate a third word, the word was groundswell. It means a broad deep undulation of the ocean, often caused by a distant storm or an earthquake (Wordnik). In this definition the Lord showed me that the intercession of the armies of God—the groundfires at the deep subterranean levels, is triggering the rumbling of His Presence across the Earth and empowering His movements. As heaven draws ever closer, the Earth is reeling and swaying from the clash of kingdoms. This great undulation of the ocean floor will see the eruption of Tsunami waves of the Lord’s Presence occurring, coming to cleanse the Earth.
The Lord then reminded me of a word I had published on April 19th where He said: ““I am the Storm! And the release of My servants in Christ is the Storm that I will unleash on the Earth.” There is a Tsunami wave about to break over the Earth, but the Lord is saying, “The release of My army is the coming Tsunami Wave!”
“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.” Acts 17:6
The word groundswell also means: a sudden gathering of force, as of public opinion. The Lord is showing me that the winds of change are blowing and gathering force. Momentum in the change of public opinion is building and will turn the tide, working to usher the lost into the Kingdom of God. Expect clashes to occur as these things will enrage the enemy who see these times as their ‘great opportunity’ to implement their agenda for Global governance.
It is time to adopt a mindset of eternity and begin to think eternally. To function effectively in these times, it will be important to begin to live from a spirit fully yielded to God. The Lord is calling His people to separate from Babylon—the world and the things of the world. The choice before us is to either compromise or to pursue God’s full intentions and His full thought. For churches, the question to leaders remains, will you become an institution, or a Living Organism moved by the heartbeat of God?
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” 1 John. 2:15
The Saints have lost their heavenly Kingdom position it once occupied. It was first lost when it abandoned God’s Word declaring His choice of Israel as the administrative center of the Kingdom of God and Jerusalem—the City of God where Christ has positioned Himself eternally. Jerusalem was the first outpost and Ekklesia of the Kingdom. Authority has been since yielded to a Babylonian system run by Luciferians. God has declared that Babylon will fall and has said to come out of her.
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.” Revelation 18:4
The line is being drawn and the time of separation of the wheat and tares is here. The process of separation will make the Church uncomfortable and will clash with carnal ways of thinking not aligned to the mind and heart of God. There are benevolent virtues that become unsanctified when separated from the intentions of God, such as unsanctified mercy, unsanctified love, and unsanctified submission where there is evil intent. These are traps of the enemy to get us off course to hinder us. We must love what God loves and hate what He hates. We can love the sinner without embracing their sin. The Lord commanded us to speak the truth in love…not to compromise on the truth.
The Armies of God have crossed over into the promised land to take back what rightfully belongs to God! A new breed of people are arising for this hour, that God has been refining in His fire. They will emerge in Glory and in strength—a courageous army of great authority born from obedience, and intimacy with the Lord, fully consecrated living sacrifices. They are a new breed modeled after Christ—an Elijah generation.
The hearts of this generation of saints are presently being circumcised in preparation for Glory in the Day of God’s Power! The knife is being put to agendas founded upon good ideas and to the flesh in areas of compromise. They have crossed over into a pause of consecration at the Hand of the Lord, as they are supernaturally positioned and secured in a place of strength for a great release into fullness of destiny at Pentecost.
God is able to do much in our hearts during the times when we are still and quiet before Him—it is the GRAND PAUSE or rest before the music re-starts.
The term Grand Pause is a musical term, that refers to a period where the music stops, and there is a pause that creates great anticipation before the music begins once again.
I believe that a Great Release is upon us at Pentecost, and we are in THE PAUSE where it is still time to prepare our hearts! In scripture a Passover is spoken of where there were some who were unclean for various reasons could not participate in the Feast at God’s ordained time. Moses inquired of the Lord about this, and God answered in Numbers 9:11. This Passover Feast became known as the Second Chance Passover. According to Jewish writings, the day represented a “second chance” for repentance and return. I believe that this is very significant in the timings of God for 2022. The number 911 and that the Feast fell in 2022 on May 14th, the night of a blood moon is also significant!
People can seek forgiveness for wrongs they have committed at any time, but in relation to what God is about to do, the time is now! God mercifully allows time for those who have either not understood or have not taken this time apart to consecrate themselves to Him at a deeper level. Those who are ready to move out with Him must be fully consecrated to Him. God is looking for His Samuels:
“Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My mind. I will build him a sure house, and he shall walk before My anointed forever.” 1Samuel 2:35
The Holy Spirit was sent to complete the work of God and prepare a people for Glory! He comes possessing THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD and bearing the DIVINE BLUEPRINT of all that is to be built and done for God, in the name of God.
The Holy Spirit is the anointing of power. He comes bearing the oil of Powerfor the Work at hand. Surrender in full consecration, is surrender to the anointing of the Holy Spirit. This is not a general surrender. It is a specific surrender, for a specific work, in a specific timeframe.
I believe all that has taken place in the Body of Christ up to this point has been TRAINING AND PREPARATION FOR THE CHURCH’S GREATEST HOUR IN ITS HISTORY!
Those who have willingly allowed Him to refine them in the fire, who have a FORTITUDE OF SPIRIT TO OCCUPY AND HOLD THE GROUND HE GIVES, are about to be released in masse to penetrate and infiltrate the kingdom of darkness to capture and rescue its prey!
