Joy is coming!
I just came out of one of our prayer watches to write the word that the Lord is giving to His body:
I am coming with joy! Joy inexpressible and full of glory. I am coming with gladness of heart and the oil of joy for mourning. I have seen your tears and heard your prayers as you mourn over the sin in the land, the losses you have occurred, and threats from the many adversaries who seek to throw off My rule.
I sit in heaven and laugh.
I will turn your mourning into dancing.
Joy will overtake you as My Spirit comes upon you in this hour. The oil of joy unlocks the prayers that have been prayed, repentance made, and decrees declared. You have brought precious seeds for sowing in your weeping that now will be met with rejoicing, as you bring in the sheaves. Your mouth will be filled with laughter and your tongue with singing as the nations around you declare, “The Lord has done great things for you.” Yes, I have.
Eyes off self and eyes on Me. Eyes off others and eyes on Me. Eyes off losses and eyes on Me. Eyes off betrayals, failures, fears, and ashes—all eyes on Me. For in a little while I am coming, and My reward is with Me. You will enter My courts with Joy, My Joy, My Presence, and My Victory.
Some will say, “But I haven’t done well.” Of course, you haven’t but I HAVE. I obeyed My Father perfectly and you have endured. With little strength, you have kept My word and have not denied My name.
Stand in Me and see My salvation!
Love Feast continues at 5:00 pm this Wednesday followed by Super Book Olympics, Youth Group, and Activation Service – The River of God. We are planning Stations of Encounters to experience His coming with His rewards.
