This is a very important message from the Lord to help us understand our times. God has been showing me three visions over the last few weeks that I would like to share here. Please read it carefully and share it with the Remnant to encourage them.
The Gearbox
The Lord showed me a picture of a gearbox, and I saw it was going through a gear shift. He is saying, ‘I am driving the vehicle that My remnant is in, in the nations. Be not afraid, I am behind the wheel, and you are My passengers on the journey that we are on. At this very moment, on this very day, I am changing gears from a lower gear to a higher gear. So when you’re not seeing the power of movement and acceleration as you need, know that I am changing gears, I have not let go of the controls. We are in a moment of ‘neutral’ where there’s no loss, nor gain of speed because the gear change is getting the vehicle ready for a great power surge that will enable it to perform optimally in the challenging terrain that lies ahead. You are facing a rocky, uphill terrain that requires four-wheel driving with supernatural acceleration. The enemy is setting obstacles in the way of My people, however, I will show Myself strong and I will make My name famous in the nations as I drive My people into victory. Be not afraid, for I am in control. Your destiny is secure in Me and I will drive you, and the nations, to the place of Promise as I have said. It is going to be rocky, but My word to you is: ‘Hold tight, hold your ground, keep going!’. This journey is one of victory, not defeat. It is one of moving the rocks, flattening the obstacles, and clearing the path as you continue to drive… do not stop and do not get out of the vehicle.’
The Tree
I have been seeing a vision of the Lord’s hand holding and moving a tree in mid-air, about to plant it in new soil. He is saying, ‘I have uprooted you from the old place of planting, and have been transitioning you into a new place. The last season was one of transition, where My people have been taken out of the old and been transitioning into the new. Like a tree gets transported in a bag of soil to a new destination, so I have been transporting My people along a road not yet traveled. However, I speak ‘destination’ over you, and I am declaring that you have come to the place of your planting where I am now lifting you out of the bag and shaking the dust of the old off your roots.
This moment of shaking and being held up in mid-air, is a place of safety, not danger. My Hand is your safe place. Do not look at the drop below and do not give the tremors any attention in your heart. What you feel is the movement of My Hand in the planting and the establishing of your tree. Now is the time to trust Me, like you’ve never trusted Me before. The enemy would want you to believe that everything is being shaken and out of control so that fear would grip your heart. Do not be afraid, but know that I am in control and I am planting and establishing My people and My nations in this hour. It is also a time when My axe is striking the wicked trees. I will remove them from the field. This is the time of exchange. I will uproot that which is evil, and I will plant that which is righteous and good in My eyes. Watch and see the movement of Almighty God, for My Arm is moving through the skies to bring forth both My planting and My striking.‘
The Humble Lane
The Lord has been showing me a large field. I see a small narrow lane on the left side of the field, set aside for cultivation, with the rest of the field lying fallow. I hear the Lord say, ‘I am making a narrow lane available to you to cultivate quickly. You are asking Me, “Lord, where is the land of increase, the land of expansion? I only see a small patch in front of me, with rocks and dirt that still need moving. Surely this can’t be the land of Canaan, the land of promise that you have promised me?” My beautiful Remnant, yes, you are standing before your land, however, you need to see with new eyes. The humble lane before you that seems so uncultivatable, is waiting for you to rush in with the simple plow in your hand. Push it and run with all your might, trusting that as you do, I will add supernatural vigor and strength into your arms, so that every obstacle and every hindrance will move out of your way. I am going to bless My children in the running, in the plowing, in the moving, in the action. I am giving you land that others have overlooked and as you keep moving forward, I will cause spectators to look and see the miracles that I will bring about on that little strip of humble land. I will bring Pharaohs to you who own large territories, who will entrust you to cultivate their big fields, and even share ownership so that what you cultivate will be for your benefit, as well as theirs.’
The Lord is enlarging our territories but it doesn’t look the way we had anticipated. There’s a work of faith and an unwavering determination that will open up the way to own the large territories. We must trust in the Lord’s leading and remain very intuitive and sensitive to what He’s showing us, as the key to this new territory lies in the new approaches and solutions to problems, and the pioneering application thereof.
I want to encourage you, today, to take hold of His peace, knowing that our Beloved Father is driving the vehicle of our lives and of the nations. He is in control. I also want to encourage you to know that He is both planting and establishing you by His Hand. Trust and rest in His care. Lastly, be encouraged that you are called to pioneer the ‘new’ that is needed for this era. God is going to give you the enlargement that He has promised. Keep going and keep listening. He is faithful to do what He has promised. Don’t give up, don’t stop, and don’t yield to fear.
As Daniel prayed by faith, so continue to pray in the midst of the motion you and your nation find yourselves in, for the Lord is sending us His helpers and He is working on our behalf. As the Angel replied to Daniel, so He is speaking to you, “O Beloved, I have now come to give you insight and wisdom and understanding. At the beginning of your supplications, the command [to give you an answer] was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly regarded and greatly beloved. Therefore consider the message and begin to understand the [meaning of the] vision.”
Daniel 9:4-23
4I prayed to the Lord my God and confessed and said, “O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and extends lovingkindness toward those who love Him and keep His commandments, 5we have sinned and committed wrong, and have behaved wickedly and have rebelled, turning away from Your commandments and ordinances. 6Further, we have not listened to and heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7“Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us confusion and open shame, as it is this day—to the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away, in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of the [treacherous] acts of unfaithfulness which they have committed against You. Lord, to us belong confusion and open shame—to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
9To the Lord our God belong mercy and lovingkindness and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him; 10and we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God by walking in His laws which He set before us through His servants the prophets. 11Yes, all Israel has transgressed Your law, even turning aside, not obeying Your voice; so the curse has been poured out on us and the oath which is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. 12And He has carried out completely His [threatening] words which He had spoken against us and against our rulers [the kings, princes, and judges] who ruled us, to bring on us a great tragedy; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything [so dreadful] like that which [He commanded and] was done to Jerusalem. 13Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this tragedy has come on us. Yet we have not wholeheartedly begged for forgiveness and sought the favor of the Lord our God by turning from our wickedness and paying attention to and placing value in Your truth.
14Therefore the Lord has kept the tragedy ready and has brought it on us, for the Lord our God is [uncompromisingly] righteous and openly just in all His works which He does—He keeps His word; and we have not obeyed His voice.15“And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and who made for Yourself a name, as it is today—we have sinned, we have been wicked. 16O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous and just acts, please let Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain. Because of our sins and the wickedness of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become an object of scorn and a contemptuous byword to all who are around us.
17Now therefore, our God, listen to (heed) the prayer of Your servant (Daniel) and his supplications, and for Your own sake let Your face shine on Your desolate sanctuary. 18O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and look at our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You because of our own merits and righteousness, but because of Your great mercy and compassion. 19O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! Do not delay, for Your own sake, O my God, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name.”
Gabriel Brings an Answer
20While I was still speaking and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God, 21while I was still speaking in prayer and extremely exhausted, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me about the time of the evening sacrifice. 22He instructed me and he talked with me and said, “O Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and wisdom and understanding. 23At the beginning of your supplications, the command [to give you an answer] was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly regarded and greatly beloved. Therefore consider the message and begin to understand the [meaning of the] vision.
