While I was praying recently, I saw a vision of a spring. As God's people jumped onto the spring, they're being launched and catapulted onto a higher ground. I'm surprised to see the people being launched and catapulted so high, and with such power! It's as if the people just defied gravity!
Then, I heard the Lord say these words, and this is for you, His beloved:
"I am doing a work to 'jumpstart' what has become stale, stagnant, or dormant in your life. Surrender these areas of your life to Me at this point of your life. For the time has come for you to be launched and catapulted into a 'higher ground'! You will begin to see yourself moving on to a greater manifestation of My blessings in your life. You will begin to even walk through new doors that I have prepared for you. Look to Me, and seek Me. Commune with Me. For I am showing you the 'blueprints' that you need to launch into the new and into the breakthrough realm. Your time of launching is at hand!"
If you look at the dictionary, 'to launch' means 'to start or set in motion' or 'to get going'. In the context of God's words for you today, 'to get going' with the power of God and the anointing of the Lord working in your life!
What is 'jumpstart'? It can mean 'to start a car, a boat, or any vehicle (that hasn't been working)'. That's what 'jumpstart' means, literally. It can also mean 'to improve a situation (that has been powerless or weak)'. Another definition of 'to jumpstart' is 'to start something with the help of something else'. In this case, with the help of God's power and anointing being released upon you!
Very interestingly, the Lord gave this word 'jumpstart' for this time. Indeed, He is in the midst of doing a work of 'jumpstarting' your life, your career, your God-given ministry, or in any area of your life. Now, 'car' is a 'picture' of your career, your ministry, your vocation, your enterprise, your business, etc. It speaks of 'a vehicle through which you express yourself on this earth, and to fulfill God's plans for your life on earth'. In today's prophetic message for you, God is saying that He will help you to 'jumpstart' your 'car'. Amen!
Yeah, He is releasing from heaven His grace, His ability (which is greater than yours), His power, His anointing, His wisdom, His revelation, His supply, and whatever that you need to get 'jumpstarted' and be launched into greater things in this time and season. So, ask for such, and you shall receive.
One example of 'launching into greater things' and 'to jumpstart' can be found in Luke chapter 5, on how Jesus launched and 'jumpstarted' Peter into the realm of breakthrough and the beginning of greater things in his life.
Luke 5:1-2 (NKJV) says, 'So it was, as the multitude pressed about Jesus to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, and Jesus saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.'
Luke 5:3 (NKJV) says, 'Then Jesus got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.'
Here, Jesus chose Simon Peter's boat as a 'platform' to teach the Word of God. You know what? It's a blessing and a privilege for Simon Peter that Jesus chose his boat to use. The same it is for you. Will you allow Jesus to come onto your 'boat'? Blessed are you if you let Him do so.
Luke 5:4-5 (NKJV) says, 'When Jesus had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." But Simon answered and said to Jesus, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net."'
You know what could have been playing in Simon Peter's mind at that time? He may be thinking, "What? Are you sure, Jesus? I've worked all night and I'm so tired, and now You're asking me to launch out again?" Simon Peter could have questioned Jesus further, "Are You sure You know what is fishing? The best time for fishing is night time. Not now. Not at this time!" Simon Peter could have been thinking further, "I've been a fisherman for so long, and You're not even a fisherman. You're a carpenter!"
But Peter said, "Nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net." Notice that Peter called Jesus "Master" here. This shows his willingness to obey and take orders from Jesus, even though he didn't see the logic behind Jesus' instruction to launch out his net again.
In Luke 5:6-7, when Peter had let down the net, a miracle happened! He caught a great number of fish, so much so the net was breaking! In fact, Peter had to signal to the partners in the other boat to come and help out! In other words, that was a miraculous catch, at a time these fishermen never thought they could. And the Scripture says they were astonished at the huge catch!
Beloved of God, it is the same with you. Never rule out what God can do in your life, going forward, no matter how much of a failure you think you've been. Maybe at this time you think you are no good in anything. Maybe at this time you feel like you are so stuck and stagnated. Or maybe you think you're just not meant to be successful in anything.
But take heart. Nothing is impossible with God. Just look at what the Lord has done for Peter here. The Lord your God will know how to guide you, lead you, and speak to you His specific instructions and 'blueprints' for your life, going forward.
So right now, beloved of God, let Jesus step onto your 'boat'. Just as Peter did. Peter didn't question Jesus, thinking that he knew about his profession as a fisherman better than Jesus. Peter's faith and trust in the Lord was then greatly rewarded!
What is the key to being launched and catapulted into the realm of miracles and greater breakthrough? Just one word: Obedience. A complete and total obedience to what the Lord says. When He says so, you say so. When He says no, you say no. When He says do, you do. When He says move, you move. When He says stay, you stay.
That's why it's so important to commune with the Lord. Spend time in the Word of God. Spend time praying in the spirit. Let your heart be washed, purified, and cleansed. That's how your spiritual "antenna" will be cleared to receive more from the Lord. And you'll begin to hear His specific instructions and 'blueprints' for your life. And you'll be in for some wonderful surprises. That's for sure. Amen!
