What's up ahead?

Why Is This Time Important?
Body of Christ, it is vitally important that we spend time in the secret place during this time of transition through a major threshold. This current time is a season of needed preparation to not only be properly positioned to receive all the blessings in our promised lands, but to also be prepared to steward those blessings and our callings. It is imperative that we are positioned in full surrender and humility before God. He is scanning the Body of Christ, looking for His pure and righteous vessels, who will go forth without compromise in any way, shape or form.
There are major keys and strategies in the atmosphere that Heaven has released already in the wind of His glory. It is in our daily, intentional time spent in the secret place where we will receive what is extremely vital to the release of our callings, purposes, mantles and destinies, as well as the ability to steward every part of them.
Get in that daily time with God, tap into what He has for you, right now, and take what belongs to you. You will receive the answers you have been waiting for. This is a kairos time for your destiny that cannot be missed!
What Is God Releasing?
God is starting to not only highlight the problems around you that need to be solved in the cities and nations, but He is also releasing clear strategies on how to do it. Body of Christ, you have been crying out to God, asking Him to release the intricate details from the blueprints that He has for your unique callings, and He is releasing them now.
God is releasing the keys you need for your purpose. Also, the "camels" are on their way, which means that the provision for the vision He gave you is on its way to you.
Church, we have the answers to the world's problems by His Spirit, and if we don't go forth as proper representatives, as the true and pure ambassadors of Heaven, who will? Remember who you are and to Whom you belong, and don't forget the weight of the crown that lies on your head! Let's get ready to act on what God is speaking to us because He is bringing the "servant's heart" back to the Church.
It is absolutely imperative that we do not put our faith on vacation! We should always love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, strength and mind!
"The man answered, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 'Right!' Jesus told him. 'Do this and you will live!'" (Luke 10:27-28 NLT)
Why Do I Feel So Dry and Weary?
Have you been feeling like you are in a place of dryness? Have you been feeling like you just want to throw in the towel and cannot go any further? Have you been feeling like you are stagnant, unable to move even an inch further? In any season, it is important for you to identify what God is doing in order to respond correctly. If you do not know what is going on, you will be left frustrated, emotional and stagnant in your process due to lack of knowledge.
The new oil has been created from the pressing and crushing through your entire life up until now. You are transitioning into the new flow of the new wine and new oil.
Imagine yourself as a tall, handmade, clay vessel. Imagine you are in a tipping position with everything poured out, looking totally empty. Now, at the bottom is a layer of black build up. The only way that can come out is if it is scraped out. The only way for you, the vessel, to get filled back up with the new is to remove all that old crud out first. Once that crud is scraped out and the inside is rinsed and dried, then you will be ready for something new to be poured in you.
This is exactly where some of you are across the Body of Christ. This time, here and now, is the time to allow God to expose "you to you." Allow Him to show you what those things are that you need to let go of completely. Focus entirely on your relationship with Christ; He wants you and your heart in its entirety because He loves you.
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life." (Psalm 139:23-24 NLT)
He will point out everything in your character, attributes, way of thinking, speech, actions, sin, wounds, grudges, offenses, etc., that cannot stay. He is answering your prayers of deliverance and freedom. God loves you and He disciplines those He loves. Remain in Him and He shall remain in you, for apart from Him you cannot do anything (Read John 15). The reason God does this is because He wants to prune the branches that bear fruit, for He wants you to become more fruitful! This is a process of purification.
At a Threshold
Body of Christ, you are at a threshold. A threshold is a place of transition from one place to the next. It is the end of you being in the old land and the beginning of you living in the new land, which is the Promised Land. Body of Christ, you are at that place where Pharaoh's army is right behind you; where the parted water ends and you cross into the new land. You are feeling that pressure from all directions; you are feeling weary from the journey, but be encouraged because God Most High, Elohim, the Great I AM, is going to show up on time without delay! You are standing right at the door of your breakthrough. Tsunami waves of glory are headed your way!
"But Moses told the people, 'Don't be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord Himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.'" (Exodus 14:13-14 NLT)
Important Instructions
Be careful not to dismiss things immediately. It is important that you take the time to first identify if what you are experiencing is warfare or if it is a part of your process to freedom or if it is a part of your obstacle course for training. Once you identify it, only then can you respond correctly.
I encourage you to ask God not only for His wisdom and discernment, but also for Him to place His lens upon your eyes so that you can see everything around you through His eyes.
Look for God's purpose in everything you are going through and live in the moment, moving forward in each step cautiously, and using His wisdom. This is an important key to practice so that you do not push away what God is doing in your life, so it can reach its fullness.
Be alert to all mirages and facades the enemy may send over – things headed your way. This means to be cautious of any doors, opportunities, alliances and anything related to your calling that looks good and sounds good but is not of God. Always talk to the Holy Spirit in everything you go through.
Be Encouraged
God will open doors that no man can shut. The doors and opportunities that God has been preparing for you, no power of darkness or man can stop. We are representatives of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Lord is making us unstoppable!
Body of Christ, there is a "Kingdom DNA alliance" paradigm shift that is going to happen in the Church. Heed this, and be positioned for such a time as this. Get ready, exciting times are up ahead! You've got this!
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is
the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it." (Matthew 7:13-14 AMP)
All the praise, honor and glory be unto our living God alone! Thank you, Jesus!
