God wants to tell you this:
"This is the month I am turning your confusion to clarity, and your crisis to breakthrough! What is 'gloomy' and 'grey' shall be turned to 'blue skies'! Do not lose heart therefore, for I, the Lord, am still working behind the scenes, and even in ways that you know not of yet."
God says further:
"Look to Me and keep trusting in My plans and destiny for you. Do not look at those crises and confusion, but look to Me who is Sovereign and Almighty. For I am the Lord your God, and there is no other."
In Isaiah 45:22, the Lord says, "Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other."
The word 'saved' here is 'yasha' in Hebrew. This word has a broad meaning. It can mean 'delivered, rescued, helped, preserved, defended, avenged, set free'.
Beloved of God, as you look to Him, He will know how to deliver you, rescue you, help you, preserve you, defend you, avenge for you, and set you free!
The word 'crisis' can mean 'an unstable, dangerous, difficult, or crucial situation that one is facing'. 'Crisis' can also mean 'a dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in one's life'.
Maybe you too are facing a crisis at the moment, or maybe you are in a state of confusion about a situation, not knowing what is happening and not knowing what to do. Take heart. The Lord your God is not dead. He is still very much alive in your situation. He is saying to you that He is visiting you right now. He will know how to bring clarity to you. Many things will become much clearer. And He will know how to give you the breakthrough that you need.
Your part is to keep trusting Him and keep looking to Him, and have patience. Endure. Persevere. Do not give up.
The word 'clarity' can have three major meanings:
1. Being free from any form of confusion or ambiguity.
2. Clearness as to the understanding or perception of certain matters.
3. The state of being clear in one's spiritual eyes of understanding.
Ephesians 1:17-19 (NKJV) says, 'That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.'
Let this power of God fill you right now. Let this power of God set you free from whatever crisis, confusion, or limitation that the devil (or the enemy) puts against you!
One example in the Scripture is in the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis.
In Genesis 39, Joseph was sold by his own brothers, and he was taken to Egypt to become a slave. Potiphar, an officer of the Pharaoh, bought Joseph from the Ishmaelites. Joseph was then falsely accused of seducing Potiphar's wife, and was thrown into the prison!
In other words, it was a crisis for Joseph. He was also probably in a state of confusion as to why all this happened to him.
Maybe you too are in a situation where there's just no breakthrough in sight. You just cannot see any form of breakthrough in your life at the moment. You feel bound. You feel limited. It's like as if there's a 'lid' over your head. You cannot break that 'ceiling'. You are bound by the limitations that people around you (or the enemy) put against you, and you are now feeling trapped.
Whatever it may be, be encouraged, because your help is at hand. The Lord is here. The Lord is here to 'yasha' you. To save you. To deliver you. To rescue you. Yes, even to avenge for you. As long as your heart draws near to the Lord who is Almighty and All-knowing, you need not fear.
In Genesis 40, in spite of all the external 'darkness' in the prison that Joseph experienced, Joseph continued to walk with God. Even though in the physical realm, he was imprisoned, but in the spiritual realm, God was doing something in his life. God was working behind the scenes. God was preparing Joseph for something greater!
One day, when Pharaoh's butler and baker had dreams that bothered them greatly, Joseph was able to interpret their dreams. You see, God can open doors for you in ways that you cannot imagine yet. And that's what happened to Joseph!
Fast forward two years later, when Pharaoh himself had a dream and a subsequent dream, and no one could interpret those dreams, that same butler remembered Joseph. The butler told Pharaoh about Joseph, and Joseph successfully interpreted Pharaoh's dreams.
You see, Joseph had a spiritual understanding and perception that no one else in Egypt had. Not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord!
Genesis 41:37-39 (NKJV) says, 'So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants. And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?" Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you."'
Joseph knew it's not him. It's God. It's God who worked in him. It's by the Spirit of the Lord. Pharaoh then promoted Joseph to be second only to himself over all of Egypt. The unthinkable happened! From a slave to become a prime minister! From crisis to breakthrough! From confusion to clarity!
The same it is for you. God's plan be accomplished for you! God's purpose be accomplished for you! God's destiny be accomplished for you! God's will be done for you!
Declare by faith that you are set free! Lift up your hands towards God, and declare that your 'yasha' is at hand! You are being set free! You are being delivered! The Lord's help has come! You are free from any 'limitation' or 'bondage' set by the enemy against you! You are free from any form of confusion or crisis that the enemy has caused you to be in! You are free to be who God wants you to be! You are free to walk into your breakthrough and victory, going forward! Hallelujah!
I declare by faith that God has taken away all those 'gloominess' around you! God has given you the clarity! God's light has come, and this light is now shining upon you! Amen!
