Words from the Lord: "This is the season for open doors!"

The Lord says:

"This is the season for open doors. Yes, open doors even in ways you cannot foresee or imagine yet. Be bold to walk into it. You will know the door is from Me when you have that peace and 'go ahead' inside of you. There will be confirmation. There will be signs. There will be supernatural openings. There will even be favor that you can sense and see so clearly. Favor from above and favor from people whom I have appointed and planned for you."

"Do not fear, even if you feel you are not equipped enough or you feel you are not up to it. There are times you feel you are not good enough to walk out of your 'comfort zone', but I will train you directly, because I have chosen you. Do not go by your feeling. But see with the eyes of faith. I will know how to send the right people to you. I will put you at the right place at the right time. I will cause you to be able to discern what is of Me and what is not. So fear not."

"Let My Spirit fall upon you right now. The Spirit of revelation. The Spirit of discernment. The Spirit of wisdom. You will know what to do and how to go about. Flow with My Spirit. For I am leading you and bringing you to where I have destined for you. Do not limit what My Spirit can do in your life." 

Right now, beloved of God, let the Spirit of God set you free! Free your mind! Free from what has held you back in the past! Free to be who God wants you to be and destined for you to be, going forward! 

Romans 12:2 says, 'And do not be conformed to this world (the ways, the minds, or the patterns of this world), but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.' 

Let the Holy Spirit change you and renew you in how you see things. 

The word 'prove' here is 'dokimazo' in Greek, and it can also mean 'discern'. You can put it this way: 'You may discern what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God'. 

Each of us is different. Each of us is unique in our own way. No two persons are exactly the same. That's why it's so important to discern what you should be doing in this time and season. Let the Lord speak to you. Let the Lord show you the details. 

One thing you must know: The Lord isn't done with you yet! More is to come! Better things to come! Even in ways you've not imagined yet!

Prayer:

"O Lord God, we thank You for the new doors that are being opened. The doors that only You can open, and no man can shut. Give us the faith and boldness to walk into it. Give us signs and confirmation. Give us clarity. Give us discernment in our spirit. We ask for Your Spirit to lead us and guide us every step of the way. We ask and receive Your Spirit of wisdom and revelation. We do not want to be limited in our own mind. We ask for renewal in our mind. And we shall be set free. Free to be who and what you want us to be! In Jesus' name. Amen!"

Words from the Lord: "Rise above the atmosphere, and not go under!"

The Lord says:

"Do not allow yourself to be bound under the atmosphere of lifelessness and hopelessness around you. Receive My life and My strength to rise above all these atmospheres. For My Spirit is life, and I have called you to rule and reign with Me!" 

With these words from the Lord, let's go to the book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel in Hebrew is 'Yechezqel'. It literally means 'God strengthens' or 'God gives strength'. This word 'Yechezqel' comes from two words: 'Chazaq' meaning 'to be strong' or 'to strengthen'; and 'El' meaning 'God'. 

Ezekiel 37:1-2 (NKJV) says, 'The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry.' 

Ezekiel 37:4-6 (NKJV) says, "Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, 'O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: "Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you, and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord."'"

This is what prophet Ezekiel saw, heard, and therefore did as he was commanded. The word 'prophesy' here is 'naba' in Hebrew. In the context of these verses, it is 'to speak by the inspiration (of the Spirit of God)'. In other words, when the Lord speaks, you speak accordingly. 

Even though these verses are for the people of Israel who're feeling dry, cut off, and hopeless at that time, the Lord is saying this to you as well. 

Wherever you are and whatever situation you may be facing at the moment, the Spirit of the Lord is putting His Spirit upon you, and you shall see what's 'dry' or 'dead' in your life be revived and renewed. 

Is there any area in your life that seems 'dead' and 'dry', hopeless and lifeless? Give that area to the Lord. Surrender that area to the Lord. Let Him breathe life into it. It may be your health, your career, your ministry, your family, or in any area of your life that you need a fresh wind and renewal. Let His Spirit fill what's dead and what's dry in your life! 

This is a key moment to speak life, strength, and hope into your life, your family, and your situation. I'm praying right now for the Spirit of the Lord to bring life and set you free from every form of hopelessness and helplessness! 

Indeed He has the power to resurrect and restore! Just do not limit your mind how He's going to do it. Let your mind be set free to see that He is above natural, and He knows how to make things happen for you! 

What's your part? Your part is to rise above, and not go under! Rise above the atmosphere, and not go under the atmosphere! 

Right now, the Lord is giving you the strength to rise above, to rule and reign together with Him, and to speak life into your situation. Receive by faith!

Prayer:

"O Lord God, let there be a release of Your Spirit and Your life upon Your people right now. Set them free from what has bound them. Set them free from what has limited them. There is freedom in the spiritual atmosphere right now. Freedom from the lies and the grasp of the enemy. We receive this freedom from You. We receive new hope from You. We receive life into our situation. We prophesy strength. We prophesy life. We prophesy revival. We prophesy restoration. In Jesus' name. Amen!"

Your burden has been lifted!

Philippians 4:6-7 (NLT) says, "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." 

In Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV), Jesus says, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light." 

In the context of these verses here, 'yoke' speaks of 'heaviness and burdens that exhaust you'. A yoke is a wooden equipment placed over the shoulders of oxen to pull a heavy load or to do labor work (for example, plowing the grounds). 

So, when Jesus says, "My yoke is easy and My burden is light", He is contrasting your heaviness with His rest. The word 'easy' in 'My yoke is easy' here is 'chrestos' in Greek. It means 'gentle, kind, gracious'. So, exchange your heaviness and burden with His gentleness. 

In farming, a younger ox is often yoked beside an older master ox. The older ox would carry much of the weight. This speaks of you walking with Jesus your Master, relying on Him and not relying on your own striving to carry all your burdens in life. 

So beloved, whatever your struggle may be at the moment, let Him carry it for you. You don't have to carry it all. You will never have to walk alone, because He is walking beside you. Do not be afraid. 

Jesus also says in John 14:27 (NKJV), "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." 

Humans, imperfect as they are, may sometimes cause hurt to you or disappoint you. They may be leaders. They may be friends. They may be even family members. Maybe no one seems to understand you. But today Jesus wants you to know that He understands. He sees it all. He knows what you are going through. So, do not be afraid or be anxious. 

You can rest in His love and embrace, knowing that He will bring you through. He knows how to take over. Take heart. Whatever your situation may be, there's nothing that God cannot do for you. Let Him carry it. 

He understands that there are times you are so tired of it all. But no matter what, never let anyone or anything steal your peace. One thing for sure, He will never turn you away. So, surrender your future to the Lord. Surrender your career to the Lord. Surrender your family's situation to the Lord. Surrender all your struggles to the Lord. And yes, that includes your worries, your anxieties, your heaviness, your burdens, or whatever difficult situation you may be facing at the moment. You will find rest in His presence.
