Don’t be surprised when I start cleaning you out. Things that have hindered you and kept you from my best are going to be removed. Agree with me on the process and don’t hold on to anything that isn’t from my heart. My heart toward you is love and promotion. It’s time to say goodbye to habits and snares and old thought patterns. They have only kept you in cycles of defeat. Today is a new day, and I am bringing about my cleansing flow in your life. Expect to be refreshed! Just as a meadow shimmers in the sunlight after a cleansing rain, your life will shine with newness in the light of my love.
Don’t be surprised when things shift. Relationships and ministries and even locations may change. It is all part of what I am doing right now on this earth. Friendships that were in the forefront may suddenly feel stagnant. I am moving people into alignment with what I am doing on this earth, and those relationships were for a past season. Similarly, your focus may change in the way that you serve me. Allow me to redirect where you spend your time and attention. It may feel unfamiliar or stretch you in ways that you haven’t been used to before. It is all by my design. Trust that you hear me and that I am leading you into places for my glory. You may feel led to move in some way: churches or even homes. I will lead, and I will protect you. Don’t be faint of heart. There is a settling that will take place for your good.
Don’t be surprised when the world doesn’t satisfy you the way that it used to. I am calling you to look up! The very cry of your heart to be near me is the reason that nothing else seems to have the same attraction or satisfaction that it once gave you. Instead, take this time to be in my Word. Fill yourselves up with the Word of Life, and you will be satisfied. My Word is food for your spirit. When you are full of My Word, you have the energy and stamina to do what I’ve called you to do. You can navigate the challenging course and ascend the mountain of your call.
Don’t be surprised at the suddenlies. For My Word is completed in my timing, and that time has come for all that I have spoken to be accomplished. Do I declare a thing and not finish it? NO! It is now time for me to see the longing of my people’s hearts fulfilled. Do you not feel the waves of my presence breaking upon the shores of your heart? For as sure as the sun rises every morning, my presence is with you in ever-increasing visible signs and wonders that speak to your heart and fill the world with awe. My presence IS with you. Though it has seemed far from you and I have seemed silent, this was for your benefit. You have learned to persist in seeking me. For I alone am worthy of your time and attention. So now you will see what I will do in your midst. What you thought was silence was strategy. What you thought was abandonment was preparation. What you thought was emptiness was the sound of heaven waiting for my command. Now is the time.
Don’t be surprised. I am the God of Surprises!
