Words from the Lord: "It's time to ride on My wave!"

While I was praying and seeking the Lord the other day, I saw a huge wave coming. I saw people riding on the wave. But the good thing is none got submerged or drowned by this huge wave. In other words, this is a good kind of wave. This wave is bringing the people to see many things that they have not seen or experienced before. 

That's when I heard the Lord say: 

"I am bringing you to the next level in this time and season. I am releasing this new wave in the spirit for you to ride on. Nothing can stop this wave that comes from Me. Move with how I move.  I am also causing you to see from a brand new height. You are going to see the many things that you have not seen or experienced before. It will be good." 

In the Bible and in the biblical interpretation, 'wave' or 'waves' can be a good thing or can be a bad thing, depending on the context. But this wave that I saw is definitely a good one. It is not a wave of destruction, but it is a wave that brings you to see from new heights. 

In the context of God's message for you today, 'wave' or 'waves' can be interpreted as 'a good change in something, an increase in the amount of something, a renewal or transition into something better, or a progression into something greater'. 

I heard the Lord say further: 

"No looking back. I am giving you the power and strength to rise above whatever that has submerged you or drowned you. It is supernatural. It will confound the enemy. It will cause the enemy to turn back. The enemy thinks it is impossible, but nothing is impossible to Me. You will begin to rise above what has held you back or pulled you down all these while. You will begin to see what has been thought to be impossible be now made possible. This is the new season I am bringing you into." 

Let's go to Psalm 56:9-11. This is a psalm of David at a time when the enemy captured him. David declared: 'When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me. In God (I will praise His word), in the Lord (I will praise His word), in God I have put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?' 

Let's go to The Passion Translation now. This translation paraphrased these verses this way: 'The very moment I call to You for a Father's help, the tide of battle turns and my enemies flee. This one thing I know: God is on my side! I trust in the Lord. And I praise Him! I trust in the Word of God. And I praise Him! What harm could man do to me? With God on my side, I will not be afraid of what comes.' 

As I sought the Lord further, I heard the Lord say: 

"Everything happened for a reason. Even in your darkest hours, and even at times when you don't understand why things happened the way they happened in your life, I have always been there for you and I have always been watching over you. You may not see Me or how I work, but I see you and I am continuously working in your life. I know how to work things together for your good. Therefore, no looking back, but keep looking to Me. I see the end from the beginning. I see the destiny that I have for your life. And I have always remembered My plans and destiny for your life. Take heart." 

Maybe you have been going through some of the darkest times in your life. Maybe you have been in a situation like you are 'groping in the dark', not knowing what to do with your life anymore. This may be in your career or in any area of your life. Or maybe you think you are at a dead-end road, and the enemy 'adds salt to the wound' and makes you think you are 'checkmate'. Whatever your situation may be, the Lord is encouraging you today through Psalm 56. 

You see, like David who was captured by the enemy at that time, and seemingly having no way of escape, the Lord wants you to know that He will always have a way of escape for you. Even in ways that are unconventional to humans. Even in ways that are imperceivable to humans. Yeah, even in ways unthought of by humans. 

As you ride and surf on this wave that the Lord is releasing, the Lord is bringing you to new things and new changes in your life. Good things. Amen!

Another example of God remembering His destiny for a person, even when a person has long forgotten it or given it up, is Moses. Remember when Moses had to run for his life away from Egypt into the wilderness? He then became a shepherd in the wilderness for some forty years. By then, Moses had long forgotten God's destiny for him. He probably thought he would be a shepherd in the wilderness the rest of his life. But you see, he didn't know that was actually a time of preparation for him. The Lord was constantly working behind the scenes to prepare him for what is to come. In other words, the Lord remembered His plan and destiny for Moses. What was that plan and destiny? To save God's people from slavery in Egypt. 

One day, as he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, God called him from the midst of the burning bush, "Moses, Moses." And he said, "Here I am."

Beloved of God, the Lord is also calling your name right now. Will you say to Him, "Here I am"? Because He is about to do great and wonderful things in your life.

God then said to Moses, "Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people out of Egypt." But Moses said, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the people out of Egypt?" So God said, "I will certainly be with you..." 

God also said to him, "What is that in your hand?" Moses answered, "A rod." To Moses, it was just a rod. An old shepherd's rod. Nothing more than that. He didn't know that God would use it in ways inconceivable to him. This same rod, when he raised it up, caused great miracles, signs and wonders. And yes, even opened the Red Sea! 

God is saying the same to you: "What is that in your hand? What is that you have now? I will use it, even in ways that you cannot imagine yet." 

Before we wrap up this message today, let's read Exodus 4:10-12. Moses said to the Lord, "O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." So the Lord said to him, "Who has made man's mouth?... Have not I, the Lord? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say." 

You know what? The rest is history. Moses fulfilled God's destiny for him to lead God's people out of slavery. And with God with Moses, and God doing miracles, signs and wonders through Moses, even that great, powerful Pharaoh had to concede. God's people never needed to go back into slavery in Egypt again. You see? No looking back, but looking to God! 

For you too, beloved, no looking back, but looking to God! No more doubting. No more hesitating. But trusting in the Lord with all your heart. Trusting in the Lord that He knows what He is doing in your life. Amen! 

Prayer: 

"O Lord God, we thank You for Your words for us today. No looking back, but looking to You. We want to ride on this wave that You have released for us. We will not fear, because You are with us and for us. You will cause us to see the many things that You have wanted us to see. You will cause us to walk in greater heights that we have not imagined possible. You will cause us to fulfill Your destiny that You have planned for us all along. So, we keep moving forward. We know, like You have done for David and Moses in the Scripture, You will also guide us and lead us - step by step, every step of the way - if we look to You and seek You. In the name of Jesus. Amen."

God is saying to you: "The lid has been taken off!"

God is saying to you: 

"The lid has been taken off! No more are you bound by what has suppressed or limited you. The road has been cleared for you. This is your time to arise. Be set free in your mind. Be set free to walk in the ways I want you to walk. Be set free to put your hands on what I have meant for you to put your hands on to do." 

God is saying to you further: 

"Let go of your mistakes and regrets. Do not let your regrets to have a hold on you. For this is the time I am setting you free. I am turning around your life. I am turning it to the better. I am turning a new leaf in your life. What has seemed to be impossible in the past has now been made possible for you. Arise and walk into the realm of your breakthrough." 

These words reminded me of Lazarus during Jesus' days and ministry on earth. Let's go all the way to John chapter 11 now. The background here is that Lazarus (the brother of Mary and Martha) was sick. Not only was he sick, he then died. Yes, he died, as in died. 

John 11:1-3 says, 'Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. Therefore the sisters sent to Jesus, saying, "Lord, behold, he whom You love is sick."' 

Fast forward to John 11:17-19. 'So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days... And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.' 

Here, it looked like Jesus was too late. By the time Jesus came to see Lazarus, Lazarus was already dead. 

Beloved of God, maybe you think your situation or your life is like already "dead". No way to resurrect it. No more hope. You think it's too late. You think you have missed it. You think you blew it. Maybe it's your own mistake that cost it. But today, the Lord is saying to you that He is never too late. 

You see, Lazarus was already dead four days. In fact, there was already a stench. To man, God is too late. But no. He is never too late. After all, He is in control of time. He is above time. He is beyond time. And He is not bound by time the way we see time on earth.

John 11:20-23 says, 'Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him... Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died..." Jesus then said to Martha, "Your brother will rise again."' 

Interestingly, the name 'Lazarus' means 'God has helped', from the Hebrew name 'Eleazar' (or 'Elazar'). The name 'Eleazar' (or 'Elazar') comes from this verb 'azar', meaning 'to help, to support'. 

You see, this can apply in your life too, especially if you have gone through a time of failure, or a time of being 'down and out' in your life. The Lord is saying to you today that He is here to help you, and He is here to support you. He is here to 'azar' you. He can help you make a comeback in your life. He can help you rise again from whatever that has kept you down or "dead" in your life. But let Him do it in His way, of course. Let Him do it the way He wants to in your life. Never limit Him. 

Let's read further. John 11:32-34 says, 'Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Jesus, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died." Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping... He groaned in the spirit and was troubled...' 

Jesus felt for these sisters. He felt for this family. He moaned for them. He felt a deep pain inside Him. That's why the Scripture says, 'He was troubled'. 

And so Jesus said, "Where have you laid him?" 

Beloved of God, like those days, the same it is today. Jesus feels for you. He understands what you have gone through. He knows whatever that had happened. He sees deep down into your heart. Yeah, even when no one else could see it. And He is saying to you that He is here for you. He is here to help you. He is here to set you free. How He's going to do it for you, leave that to Him. He will know how. He is unlimited in His ways. 

Here in John 11, Jesus groaned in His spirit when He saw the situation in that family. In other words, it was a deep sigh. It was a feeling of deep sympathy. After all, this family was so dear to Him. He felt a deep feeling of pain for them and what they've gone through. 

You know what, beloved, He sees you as His family too. He feels your pain. He knows what you have gone through, even though no one on earth understands it. And just as He had said to Mary: "Where have you laid him?", He is saying this to you: "Where have you laid your situation?" 

What are the pains in your life? What are the regrets in your life? What are the mistakes that you've made that you feel so bad about? What are the challenges that you've been going through? He wants you to present all these to Him. Because He's saying today He's here to 'azar' you. He's here to help you. He's here to support you. Remember the name 'Lazarus'? 'God has helped'. 

Let's continue with John 11:38-39. 'Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."' 

But God! Nothing is impossible to God. God can turn things around. God can do a miracle. After all, He is a miracle-working God. Your part is to believe and to receive. 

In John 11:40-41, Jesus said, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" Then they took away the stone from the place where Lazarus was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard me..." 

In John 11:43, Jesus then cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" And you know what? Lazarus who was dead came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus then said to them, "Loose him, and let him go." 

The Lord is saying the same to you: "Come forth!" In other words, the Lord is saying: "Arise! Wake up! Rise up!" Yes, rise up from whatever that's "dead" in your life. Rise up from whatever that has suppressed you all these while. God is giving you this power today. 

Notice that Lazarus came out with his hands and feet still bound, and his face still wrapped with a cloth. That's when Jesus said to loose him and let him be 'unbound'. Yes, this is the time to 'unbound' or 'unwrap' your hands and feet, so that your hands and feet can be set free again - to do what God has called you to do, and to walk in what God has wanted you to walk! 

Your hands are now set free, and your feet are now set free! Not just that. Like Lazarus, your whole head is now being 'unwrapped'. No more shall you be bound by all those so-called "graveclothes". Your head here speaks of your mind. Your mind is now set free! Set free to think the way God thinks and see the way God sees! 

Beloved of God, this is your time! God is releasing this power for you to be set free! By faith, receive! This is your time to 'unwrap' your hands, 'unwrap' your feet, and 'unwrap' the 'bandage' over your head. You are now free to walk into the many blessings and breakthroughs that God has for you! Somebody shout "Hallelujah!"

You are entering a new level of anointing and authority!

The Lord says: 

"Many of My people are entering a new level of anointing this year. Many of My people are entering the realm of higher authority in the spirit. Wield it. Use it. Speak it. Declare it. Take authority over every curse word or unwholesome word that has been spoken against you. Take authority over every form of pain that the power of darkness has tried to inflict on you or your loved ones, be it spiritually, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Take authority over the work of darkness that the enemy has tried to destroy you. This is your time!" 

As I was praying, the Lord showed me a vision of a sword. He said, "Take it." Then, I saw many of His people have been given their respective sword too. Each is given a brand new sword. Yes, I saw brand new swords. Sharp and shiny. Powerful. Not blunt or worn out. This confirms what I heard from the Lord, that He has given you a new and higher authority to rise above and overcome. 

The Lord says further: 

"Look at this authority of yours. It is fresh. It is new. You may have been defeated or shamed before in the past, but I have given you a fresh authority in spirit. I have given you the power to overcome what has been stubborn against you. I have given you the anointing to break what has been impossible to break in the past." 

The sword here speaks of the Word of God. You are going to have deeper understanding in the Word of God that you somehow couldn't in the past. You are entering the realm of deeper revelation in the spirit. You are entering the realm of deeper understanding of who God is in your life and how much authority He has given to you. You will begin to declare what His words say with a new level of boldness and confidence - over your life, over the situation around you, or over what you see around you in the world. 

We always want to back up what we hear and what we see with the Scripture. So, let's look at Revelation 1:16-18. This was what John saw, and he described it here: 'He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."' 

That was John's description of Jesus, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the Lord who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty God. He holds the keys of Hades, and He sets you free from whatever that is dead in your life and gives you a fresh new lease of life. That's what He's saying here to you right now. 

In Revelation 1:8, Jesus says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." 

The word 'Almighty' here is interesting. It is translated from the ancient Greek word 'Pantokrater'. It literally means 'the One who has His hand on everything'. This speaks of His greatness and His sovereignty over everything, from the beginning till the end of time, and everything in between. 

Back to Revelation 1:16. John described Jesus as 'He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.' 

What is this 'seven stars' here? This speaks of the seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Since the number 'seven' is the number of 'completion' or 'perfection', we can interpret it as "He's got the whole church in His hands." Indeed, He is in control of His church (i.e. His people). His church as a whole. One body in Christ. Wherever we are in the world. He will lead us all the way. He will guide us all the way. He has also given us the authority to overcome all the works of the enemy. The authority to bind and to loose. Whatever we bind shall be bound. Whatever we loose shall be loosed. In other words, whatever we set free shall be set free. Whatever we stop shall be stopped. Whatever we release shall be released. 

John also saw 'out of Jesus' mouth went a sharp two-edged sword'. A two-edged sword cuts first or speaks first into our lives, changing us from the inside out. But it also penetrates the power of the enemy and destroy the power of the enemy. 

This sword speaks of the Word of God. This is His weapon, and this is also our weapon. You can see that in Ephesians 6:17 that says, 'The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God'. This sword described in ancient Greek is also interesting. It is written as 'rhomphaia' in ancient Greek, and not 'machaira'. What is the difference between 'rhomphaia' and 'machaira'? These are the two Greek words for 'sword' in the Scripture. Now, 'machaira' is the smaller sword. But here in Revelation 1:16, John referred to this sword as 'rhomphaia'. This is a much bigger and heavier kind of sword. It's a much more powerful kind of sword. And it's used mainly to kill and to destroy. So, this speaks of the power of God's Word to destroy every form of the enemy's work. And the Lord has given this to you. It penetrates and destroys the power of the enemy to the core. 

So beloved of God, as you look forward, you are going to triumph with the revelation that God has given to you, through His Word and through His Spirit. Word and Spirit. Spirit and Word. Amen! 

Back again to Revelation 1:16. I read it again. 'He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.' 

The last part is equally interesting. I read again: 'His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength'. This speaks of 'the glory of God, so great, so shining', that whatever force of darkness that tries to face up against Him, 'they shall become like blind'. It simply means this: No one can stand against Him. No power of the enemy or power of darkness can stand against Him. 

And upon seeing this, John wrote in Revelation 1:17-18, 'And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades (i.e. 'the place of the dead') and of Death."' 

Indeed, He can unlock the Hades, and He can unlock the power of death.  He has overcome. He is alive forevermore. He is a resurrected God. He has victory over all the power of darkness. And in Him, you can too. 

You see, John was overwhelmed by what he saw here. And in this awesome glory of God, he could do nothing else, but to fall at the feet of Jesus as dead. It means nothing else matters anymore. Nothing but the awesomeness and the glory of God. Now, remember, this same John was with Jesus and saw Jesus for about three years when Jesus was doing His earthly ministry, on earth. But this was the next level. Jesus certainly knew how to 'shield' some of His glory when He was walking on the earth those days. But now He manifested Himself at a new level. And John was overwhelmed. That's what the Scripture shows here. Yet in this glory, Jesus said this assurance to John: "Do not be afraid." 

Beloved of God, the Lord is saying the same to you: "Do not be afraid." You don't need to be afraid of anything on earth, if you have His presence, His glory, His authority, and His anointing in your life. Continue to walk in obedience to Him and His Word. Let the blood of Jesus Christ continue to wash you clean, white as snow. Cleanse your hands. Cleanse your heart. Let Him purify your life. He says, "Be holy, as I am holy." Clear what needs to be cleared in your life. The Lord will show you what needs to clear. The Lord will show you if you ask Him. And with this, you can walk boldly and in the new level of anointing and the authority that He has given to you, from this point onwards. 

So, right now, I want to declare upon you, beloved, wherever you may be, that this new level of anointing is being released upon you, and this new level of authority is being released upon you. Wield it. Use it. Declare it. Speak it. Yes, take authority over all those power of darkness. You are triumphant! You are an overcomer! In Jesus' name. Amen!
