I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. Jeremiah 31:13 NIV We have entered a new season because there was a major spiritual shift at Pentecost (May 23, 2021). However, you might need to contend for your breakthrough. The Lord has given you everything you need to succeed but you will need to step up and take it, as the enemy is trying to war against you entering into this new time. The Lord is releasing a fresh drink of the Holy Spirit. We are being prepared for change in the spiritual atmosphere and the heavens are now open and ripe to encounter the Lord. To offset the attacks of Satan, the Lord is releasing visitations and encounters in dreams, visions and a deeper connection with the Father's heart.
The Lord has given us keys to unlock His mysteries. These are a perfect solution to Satan's perfect pandemic storm of sickness, death, violence and fear. This is a powerful time of repayment of things that God has been holding back for your special time of "pass over." "Like birds hovering overhead, the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will 'pass over' it and will rescue it." Isaiah 31:5 NIV We're entering the season of Passover to Pentecost, which is a powerful time to hear the Lord. He is releasing instructions and strategies to get into position for when He allows things to "pass over" you. But God often speaks in mysterious ways.
May is going to be an awesome month with the release of God's power. May 16–18 is the Jewish Holiday of Shavuot (Pentecost), and the Christian celebration is May 23. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. Acts 2:1–2 NIV There are going to be new sounds and winds from Heaven to blow things into place. What previously seemed impossible will start opening up with ease. You will see a greater ability to hear the voice of the Lord, dreams, visions and angelic help starting this month and continuing.
Sometimes we don't understand God's timing or what He is doing, but learning to love is key to understanding God and His ways. I believe that 2021 is a time when completeness—love's perfection—is coming with greater understanding. Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial, but when love's perfection arrives, the partial will fade away. 1 Corinthians 13:9–10 TPT I want to help you get ready to move beyond "partial knowledge and prophecy" into seeing, hearing and understanding the Lord more clearly than ever before!
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you." Isaiah 60:1–2 NIV It is time to rise up! I heard the Lord say, "I am moving this month through the message of Isaiah 60—particularly verses 1, 11 and 22—and also the entire chapter of Matthew 13." We are at a major turning point as the dark night of 2020 is coming to an end. The Lord is shining His light and revealing the areas where the enemy has been attacking and trying to discourage you.
The month of March is the release of new assignments and instructions that will unfold more over the next few months. Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it." Habakkuk 2:2 NKJV Be prepared to write down what the Lord is speaking to you. Watch for dreams and visions to increase as we are entering into the season of Passover (March 27–April 4) and Resurrection Sunday on April 4. This is a very strategic season to hear the voice of God! Get ready to "pass over" into a new season in March and April. The Jewish holiday of Passover reminds us of God's greatness when He gave Moses the plan to get them through a difficult season. This month God is releasing prophetic Passover strategies for you.
It's time to step up and not back. God is releasing financial solutions, ideas and blessings to help a hurting world and prepare us for the coming revival. The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. Deuteronomy 28:12 NIV If you don't know how to get your breakthrough, here are some steps I use that will help you get aligned in this season.
It is time to let go of the past and press forward into what God is calling us to for 2021 and beyond. "° But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13–14 NIV The Lord is saying it is time to forget all the disappointments—politically, the pandemic and all the pain of 2020—and press on towards what is ahead. We all have the work of the Kingdom to do, and the plan of the enemy is to distract you from this. The Lord is releasing plans and strategies for you personally and for cities and nations. We need to get our eyes on the prize! The Lord is calling us to rise above the swirl of confusion, fear and violence that is ruling the airways and streets.
Return to your fortress, you prisoners of hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you. Zachariah 9:12 NIV Have you felt as though you are in prison or being held captive in your own home? The Lord is going to restore you, and there is going to be double blessing come as a result of your suffering. We entered into a new season as of December 31, 2020. We might still be dealing with the pandemic, but the tables have turned to our favor. There is now a flow from Heaven for breakthrough! Watch for the release of healing anointing and refreshment that will flow like a river.
This is a Christmas season like no other—in a year like no other! Even though most of us won't have the whole family gathered at one table this year, our heavenly Father is holding a place at the Lord's table for each of us! A few years ago, I had a prophetic vision where I saw the Table of the Lord—a huge table that went on for eternity—and the Lord was sitting at the head of the table. Most of the Christians were standing around with their hands out in front of them like butlers or servants ready to serve the King. But the Father was inviting them to sit at the table as sons and daughters! This is happening right now.
