While I was in prayer recently, the Lord began to speak to me about the season of time that we have entered into and His purpose for it. The month of July 2024 marked a major shift in the Earth; since then the spiritual climate of our society has intensified and we have only seen the beginning of what is to come. In this season, things are swiftly changing in the world around us to make way for the establishment of God's Kingdom--His rule, reign and will--within the Earth and the return of Jesus for His bride. The wars, famine, rumors of wars, hardships, persecution and terror that are both here and are to come are all setting the stage for the fulfillment of promises God has made in His word concerning the end times (Joel 2:28-32, Matthew 24).

The season we have entered into is not only setting the stage for Jesus' return; it is also providing the opportunity for God's children to rise up in faith, push back against the kingdom of darkness and be who He has ordained them to be in the Earth. Romans 8:19 says "For the creation eagerly waits with anticipation for God's sons to be revealed." All of what God has created is looking and eagerly expecting those who are called of God as His sons and daughters to be revealed or disclosed within the Earth. Creation is eagerly waiting for you and I to rise up and embody the strength, wisdom, love, righteousness and justice of God in the Earth. God has ordained us as His children, to carry the keys that will unlock the answers that the world needs--the answers that the Earth is eagerly waiting for.

As the Lord gave me this understanding of this season that we have entered into, He also began to speak to me specifically about His daughters and the doors of opportunity that He is opening for them in this season:

"Daughters, it is time for you to rise up and use the voice I have given you! No longer can you stand on the sidelines pregnant with word, vision and strategy and wait for others to give you permission to release what I have given you. The world is in need of what I have put on the inside of you. The time for silence and passivity, timidity and fear has passed and the time to boldly speak is now! In this hour, I am raising you up to stand against the attacks of the enemy through word, worship and action. I am pouring out fresh wine in this season for you to rise up out of your bondage, limitations and fears. Now is the time for you to speak! Now is the time for you to build! Now is the time for you to step out on faith and partner with me in the work I have given you to do!

For my daughters who have been fighting against the attacks and accusations of Jezebel, the plots and schemes of the enemy through witchcraft and the wicked work of python to steal your strength--in this season I am breaking the power of the enemy off of your mind, your voice, your eyesight, your hands, your heart and your feet.

In this season, my daughter, you shall...

Think as I do about yourself, your call and the people around you because I am giving you the mind of Christ to obey, perceive things in the right way and discern my will (Philippians 2:5, Isaiah 11:2, Romans 12:2). No longer shall you think small about yourself and the grace that is on your life. No longer shall you be limited by your past experiences and current realities which cause you to undermine the good and great work that I am doing in and through you. No longer shall you be confused and vacillate between one idea and the next. I am calling you out of double mindedness and bringing you into a focused and decided mind. In this season I am pouring fresh oil on your mind and this oil is bringing you clarity of thought, wisdom, single mindedness and the ability to discern my heart and will concerning your own life and that of others.

Speak with boldness and declare my Word to the lost, broken, captive and heavy laden souls because my Spirit is upon you (Proverbs 28:1, Isaiah 61:1-3). No longer shall you be muzzled to silence by spirits of religion, intimidation, fear or jealousy. No longer shall you second guess if now is the time to cry out and spare not (Isaiah 58:1). In this season, I am releasing a new boldness upon you to speak clear and timely words that will set the captives free and expose the wicked schemes of the enemy. Where you've felt like the long treacherous seasons of battle stole from you your ability to articulate their thinking and my heart for others, I am getting ready to show you how the opposite is true. The long seasons of warfare that you have withstood have actually prepared you for this time and given you the tongue of the learned so that you can declare an in season word to those who are in need (Isaiah 50:4).

See things clearly for what they are miles in advance. In this season I am breaking the scales off of your eyesight and giving you the ability to see all things clearly. No longer shall you struggle to discern what is true or false, what is from me or what is a counterfeit, or what the schemes of the enemy are against them. By the power of my Holy Spirit I am giving you the ability to see a thing, discern its origin and purpose and make wise choices on if or how you should engage. By the power of my Holy Spirit I am causing you to discern these things quicker than you ever have before. What used to take you months and years, shall take you days and weeks to discern correctly by my Spirit. This clarity of sight is also coming to you as a light onto your path to illuminate the way you should go in this season (Psalm 119:105). I am making the vision I have for your life and the purpose I have called you to, crystal clear before you. You shall first see these things in your dreams, visions and mind's eye and then be able to agree and partner with me in it. In this season you shall also see the people around you as I do, and learn to engage with them accordingly. As you discern those around you correctly--who they are, what they need and where I am taking them--you will then be able to carry my truth, love and Spirit to them as I lead. With this new sight that I am giving you, I am also breaking off every obstruction to your sight that has prevailed in past seasons--no longer shall you be blinded by depression, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, fear or comparison--you shall see and see clearly.
Build and do according to the vision I have given you. In this season, I the Lord am releasing clear vision to you so that you can align with faith in obedience to my will. This will look like you putting your hands to the things I have called you to do. The Lord is saying that for those who have been waiting for the right time to build the vision that He has given you, now is the time to prayerfully take steps forward and build. "What I have given you has had ample time to ferment and mature in obscurity," says the Lord, "now I am calling you to put your hands to building it out so that those who are called to you can glean from you what they need."
Believe and love in a deeper way. As I pour out my spirit upon you I am also giving you a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26) that is of flesh. Many of you have endured hardships that have caused your hearts to change and harden like stone which is hindering my love from penetrating it. In this season I am giving you a new heart so that your love for me and my people can blaze strong again. No longer shall you carry the hurt or burden of the betrayal or dishonor that you've endured. But like Jesus is a model of, you shall forgive completely, love deeply and choose to release those who have done you wrong (Luke 23:34). And as I give you a new heart, your ability to believe in me will grow as well. No longer shall you question if the good things I have promised in my word shall come to pass because of the hard things you have endured. For the sake of my name and for my glory, I shall do these things and put an end to the questioning that takes place in your soul. With this new heart, your capacity to love and believe will grow so that you can obey my commandments to you (Matthew 22:37-40).
Go to the places that need what I have placed on the inside of you. No longer shall you wander aimlessly from place to place seeking opportunity to serve and use the gifts I have given you. In this season I am sending you to places that house the hungry--those who are desperate to hear what you have to say from me. I am calling you to go to all nations, people groups and regions to make disciples who live in alignment with my Word and Spirit (Matthew 28:18-20). In this season I am also calling you to go to the places that house companies of like-minded believers who can encourage, correct & support you in the work I have called you to do.

Daughters, I am calling you to rise up in faith for the time is NOW!"

As the Lord spoke these words to me, I was reminded of the words of Isaiah 61:1-3 which says:

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me. Because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified."

The Lord has anointed His daughters in this hour to partner with Him and do the work of His kingdom. They have been called, chosen and equipped to speak the word of truth, heal the broken, point the lost to the truth, free the captive and ultimately bring glory to God's name. If you are a woman of faith reading this, hear me when I say "the time is NOW!"

So let's take a moment to discern how we should respond.

How to Respond to this Word

Whenever God speaks, we ought to respond to His Word with faith and action.

Be still in God's presence to receive that which you need to lean into what He is asking of you to do.
Pray and ask God to reveal what your next steps are to align with His Word. God has specific instructions for us all that need to be sought after, discerned and obeyed. It is through prayer we can identify what they are.
Meditate on Scripture and use it to fight against the attacks of the enemy that would try to cause you to shrink back in fear. Do this by praying & declaring the Word of God over yourself and aligning yourself with what it says. Create a rhythm of how often you will do this daily and weekly. If you are enduring a lot of push back from the enemy, increase how often you meditate on scripture so that you can be armed with the weapons you need to fight him off (Ephesians 6:10-19)
Surround yourself with like-minded believers who will encourage, correct and support you in walking out your faith with fear and trembling and responding to call of God on your life. Hear me when I say that you cannot embark on this journey alone and if you can, you haven't discerned God's plan for your life. Nothing about what God has given you can be done without partnering with others. Nothing about God's plan for your life can be achieved without having a community of people praying for you. So prayerfully seek out who these like minded believers are and surround yourself with them so that you can walk out God's purpose and plan for your life.
Step out on faith and take risks that you wouldn't normally take. Rely on Holy Spirit to empower you to step out of what's normal, routine & comfortable and lean into what unfamiliar and uncomfortable. This may look like sharing the gospel with a co-worker or stranger on the street. It can also look like stopping to give someone a prophetic word that God is sharing with you or praying for their healing. Whatever the risk is, trust that God is with you and won't forsake you in it (Matthew 28:20b) and yield to it.

I pray that this word was a blessing to you. If so, would you share it with 5 other women who need to be encouraged to step out in faith & partner with what God is calling them to do?
