I sat in prayer to ask the Father of the meaning of such tribulations. Within several weeks of continuous bed bound praying, has been a call to reckon with devils encroaching upon the nation. I’m finding a mighty place of prayer it is when one can only put ones focus in that precious place. The war is real and there is something of concern that I have been awakened to. Let the Lord find men and women standing in the gap declaring the enemy, “NO FURTHER!”

However, in the midst of difficulties, the heart of mercy gives me a picture of a slow rising horizon. It is something new that is dawning.

From it will be the fire of God with rays of pure holiness piercing the darkness and scattering principalities. His light will also pierce the dark places in the hearts of His own people. Judgment is upon His house still. He is re-aligning us with the true righteousness and justice that is the very foundation of His throne. He is bringing a deep sanctification to the church.

He must.

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.”

Storms precede the most glorious sky lights. Rainbows chase away the rain and the birds can be seen dancing and prancing in their shallow baths gleefully singing a new song which could be ushered in only on the heels of a great tempest.

Should you find yourself grasping for the top of the waves after a shipwreck
wondering if you’ll make it out alive-look up, child, and catch the glimpse of the Son-rise.

There is a new horizon upon us and the King of Glory will shine His light into every heart. It will purge us of our self-exaltation and leave us gripped with repentance at the empty religion we’ve offered many.

He will come in power and might like The Lion whose been patiently waiting to run with a holy roar. When He comes, we will see Him clearly for all that He is.
