Words from the Lord: "You are entering a time of restful increase!"

While praying, I saw a vision of the hand of the Lord handing a banner to His people. It is a banner of victory. As one person receives the banner, he passes it to another person. From one to another. But something miraculous happened. The banner multiplied! From one banner, there are now many banners. More and more banners, until the banners fill the land! 

This banner symbolizes 'victory' over the power of darkness that has been trying to steal, kill, and destroy what the Lord has purposed for each of His people. 

The Lord says: 

"Raise your hands and lift up your hands in praises! For I have given you this banner of victory! I have given you a new authority in the spirit and a fresh anointing over the sphere that I am giving to you. Be faithful to speak as I speak, and say as I say over those spheres. For victory is yours for the taking, and wherever I have placed you in this time and season." 

The Lord says further:

"I have won this victory for you. Rest in this victory that I've won for you. Do not let your eyes see with eyes of doubt. But see with eyes of faith. Faith to receive this victory that I've already won for you."

What does 'sphere' mean here? It means 'whatever the Lord has entrusted to you and given to you'. Yes, even in the land He has placed you in this time and season, wherever you are. There is a new authority and fresh anointing for you over all these spheres. 

Exodus 17:15 (NKJV) says, 'And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-Lord-Is-My-Banner.'  

'The-Lord-Is-My-Banner' here is 'YHWH Nissi' in Hebrew, from 'nes' meaning 'banner' or 'flag'. 'Nissi' means 'My Banner'. 'A banner that is raised high' symbolizes 'victory'. 

Here in Exodus 17, after the victory against the Amalekites, Moses built an altar to thank God and to give Him all the glory. 'Altar' in biblical context is a place representing worship and dedication to the Lord.

Psalm 20:5 (NKJV) says, 'We will rejoice in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners.' 

Isaiah 11:10 (NKJV) says, 'And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious.'

Isaiah 11:10 (The Expanded Bible) puts it this way, 'At that time the new king from the family [root] of Jesse will stand as a banner [standard, signal flag] for all peoples [nations]. The nations [Gentiles] will come together around [rally to; seek guidance from] Him, and the place where He lives [His resting place] will be filled with glory.' 

Here, the Scripture says His resting place (or dwelling place) will be filled with His glory. I am saying to you, that you (who are the temple of the Holy Spirit) are where His Spirit dwells! His resting place! Therefore, you are also full of His glory! Where His glory is, there is light! And where there is light, darkness flees! 

Prayer:

"O Lord God, let Your glory fall on us, and let Your light fill us all in all. We lift up our hands to praise You and worship You. We dedicate our lives to You and give You all that we are. For You are looking for hearts that are pure before You. You are looking for hearts that are all for You. We give ourselves to You in worship and surrender. You are giving us victory. You are giving us a new authority. You are giving us a fresh anointing. You are restoring our soul. Let our 'altar' be restored. Let our 'altar' be repaired. You are setting us free from every form of slavery in our lives. You are giving us rest. Restful victory and restful increase. We give You thanks for all that You have done. In Jesus' name. Amen!"

Words from the Lord: "All things will work out for you!"

The Lord says: 

"Cast all your cares, concerns, and burdens upon Me. For I care for you. Cast all your worries, anxieties, and fear upon Me. For in Me, there is perfect peace. Let Me take over all these cares. And let Me take care of you. In Me, you will find peace. In Me, you will find honor. In Me, you will find everything you ever need." 

Beloved of God, He is here right now, and He is strong enough to carry all your cares, concerns, and problems, no matter how heavy or difficult these may be. 

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) says, 'Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.' 

The word 'care' here is 'merimnah' in Greek. This speaks of 'any form of distraction that distracts you from God and God's purpose in your life'. This 'care' includes all your concerns, burdens, worries, anxieties, or whatever in the world that tries to pull you down. 

Even if you have made a mistake in your life, and you feel so stupid or foolish why you did it, and you really regret it, surrender this to the Lord. The Lord sees and knows exactly what you are going through. Trust in Him. Look to Him. Let Him take over. Let Him take care of your situation. 

He will know how to cause all things to work together for good for you. He will know how to make things right for you. Somehow, someway. He is a good God. Your part is not to linger in what's past. Past is past. Learn from it, and move on. Greater and more wonderful things are ahead of you! 

Psalm 55:22 (NKJV) says, 'Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.' 

You are God's beloved and righteous. Your steps will never be 'moved'. What is the word 'moved' here? It is 'mot' in Hebrew, meaning 'removed, slip, fall down, shaken, decay'. 

When you have Him with you, your steps will never decay. Why? Because God is watching over your steps. He is leading and guiding you, every step of the way. Allow Him. When you flow with Him and follow Him, no enemy can shake you. This is the promise of God for you who look to Him and trust Him. 

In cross-reference, this Hebrew word 'mot' can also be found in Psalm 121:1-3 (NKJV) that says, 'I will lift up my eyes to the hills - From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved ('mot'); He who keeps you will not slumber.' 

Indeed, He will not allow your foot to be removed, slip, fall down, shaken, or even decay. He who watches over you and He who keeps you will never slumber. Know that He is with you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All the time! 

So, worry not and be anxious not! Beloved of God, I declare in Jesus' name that whatever your situation may be at the moment, and no matter how dire your situation may be, God will make a way for you, and there will be a way out for you. Amen!

Words from the Lord: "A new sword and purpose have been given to you!"

In a time of prayer, I saw in the spirit many of God's people have been given a new sword. This is not to fight flesh and blood. But it's symbolic of a fresh start and a new beginning. 

'Sword' is symbolic of 'Word of God'. You will have fresh revelation in the Word of God. Many things that you couldn't 'see' or understand before, you will begin to 'see' and understand, with the help of the Holy Spirit. 

'Sword' is also symbolic of 'your authority in the spirit'. You will receive a new authority and power to walk in His divine purpose for you. 

I also heard from the Lord: 

"This is the time to prepare to dedicate and re-dedicate your life afresh and anew to Me."

"Just as in Psalm 30, the psalmist wrote about dedicating the temple of the Lord, you are the temple of the Holy Spirit where I dwell." 

Psalm 30:5 (NKJV) says, 'For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.' 

This joy of the Lord is being released inside of you right now! 

Psalm 30:11 (NKJV) says, 'You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.' 

Beloved of God, God is taking away your "sackcloth", so to speak, and in replacement, clothing you with gladness!

What does 'sackcloth' speak of here? 'Sackcloth' speaks of 'grief, mourning, distress, or rough times'. The fabric texture of sackcloth is rough and tough. This is symbolic of rough and tough times. But now, by faith, receive a new clothing! And this new clothing in your life is called 'gladness'! 

Psalm 23:5 (NKJV) says, 'You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.' 

God is preparing a table for you! It means God is preparing a spiritual feast for you! Not just that, God also anoints your head with oil. When God anoints your head with oil, this speaks of God refreshing you, renewing you, and giving you a new strength! So, walk in this new strength, this new authority, and this new power that He has given you in this new time and season!

Choose to trust God and hope in God for what's ahead of you! Jeremiah 17:7 (NKJV) says, 'Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.' 

The Lord says further: 

"For those who need to turn a new page in your life and have a fresh start, or you know you need to be set free from certain bondage or limitation in your life, My grace is more than enough for you. Step out of the old by faith, and step into the new. For I shall walk with you and guide you, every step of the way. Fear not, and be bold." 

As you prepare yourself to walk in the new, let the Lord cleanse you, wash you, and purify you, so that you will be 'white as snow', and ready for an even greater manifestation of His glory and power in your life, going forward. Amen! 

Prayer:

"O Lord God, we receive our renewal and refreshing right now. We receive our restoration and healing right now. You anoint our heads with Your oil. There is a divine refreshing today. Cleanse our hearts and our minds as well. We receive Your anointing to set us free from whatever that has been holding us back. We receive Your anointing to step out of the old, and step into the new. We receive Your anointing to walk in that new purpose that You have given us. In Jesus' name. Amen!"
