  • Don’t Go Back to The Old Yoke

    Don’t Go Back to The Old Yoke

    “So Elijah departed and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. Elijah passed by him and threw his cloak (mantle) around him. So Elisha left the oxen, ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and mother goodbye, and then I will follow you.” “Go on back,” Elijah replied, “for what have I done to you?” So Elisha turned back from him, took his pair of oxen, and slaughtered them. Using the oxen’s equipment for fuel (their yokes), he cooked the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow and serve Elijah” (1 Kings 19:19-21).

    In these scriptures Elisha is found as a farmer, plowing with twelve teams of oxen, and he was with the twelfth team. The number twelve signifies perfect government. This is a prophetic picture of Elijah mastering a season of his life. He was at the tail end of this season as he was with the twelfth team of oxen. Who knows how many years he spent in the dirt…plowing and digging up the ground.  No matter how long that season was, he had completely resigned himself to the assignment God had for him. When Elijah showed up, he threw his mantle on Elisha, signifying the beginning of a new season for Elisha. This is a prophetic picture of God’s “suddenly” in our lives. Elisha was faithful with what God had given him in the previous season of his life. Now God was about to do something very different, something much bigger and quite unimaginable with him. This transition was not gradual. There was a requirement – a demand that was placed on Elisha to leave it all behind, to permanently break away from the old yoke, and never go back.  This is indicated by saying goodbye to his mother and father. The next thing he did severed his connection to his last season forever: he took his pair of oxen and slaughtered them. Using the oxen’s equipment (yokes) for fuel, he cooked the meat and gave it to the people.  He utterly destroyed the old yoke.

    This is a new season allotted for the children of God, the body of Christ. With this season there is also a requirement: it’s all or nothing. There is no room for lack of faith or hesitation. I am speaking to those who have gone through the fire. God has revealed Himself. You know Him and are known by Him. You are for Him, not against Him. It is time to grab hold of that which He has shown you, promised you, imparted to you, and opened up to you.

    I hear Jesus saying this, “In quiet I have prepared you, not only to receive My love, but to make war with the enemy. He can no longer steal the promises. He can no longer set traps or cause delays.”

    You have been transformed. The door to the old life has closed, and there is no going back. Going back means disobedience. Going back is an act of the flesh, not a scheme of the enemy. What bound you in the last season is broken. That yoke has been removed by the mighty hand of God. He was always for you, in all your training. He chose the difficult trials for you because they were the quickest path to His heart. He knows you through and through. He knows the tough stuff you are made of! In the last season He taught you to endure. He taught you how to find rest in the lion’s den. He taught you to resist the devil and He prepared a table for you in the enemy’s presence. You learned how to press in and draw near to God in the midst of chaos, depression, confusion, unfulfilled promises, shame, and hopelessness.  Under the old yoke He formed you into the warrior you are now. He strengthened you and armed you. In this season it’s time to call down fire from heaven and utterly destroy the works of darkness! The weapons He gave you are mighty in God!

    I hear Him saying this, “You are able to grasp by faith that which is reality. In this last season the word of God was choked, stolen from you. But it was not the enemy who stole it. I took it  from you. I am the God who gives and takes away. What I took, I have stored safely away for the new yoke, this new season. I give it all back! Do not look back, not in your mind nor in your heart. Keep your gaze transfixed on Me, towards the hills where your help comes from.”

    When He says “don’t go back to the old yoke”, He is saying that you are too mature to let the enemy steal what He has for you. There is no longer any residue on you. The anointing rests on you and it is in operation. He has peeled back the veil and now it’s time to have fun! We are warriors, weapons of destruction against the kingdom of darkness, forged in the hottest fire. God used the enemy’s attacks to create you into a weapon of mass destruction! In Psalm 2 it says God sits and laughs at the wickedness of the nations. He laughs at those who believe they can dethrone Him.

    I hear Him saying this, “Do you not know you are the temple of the living God? Did I not promise My glory would cover the Earth? And now see what I have done. I am speaking to you my warriors, My chosen ones who have allowed Me to do the deep work within you. The nations plot in vain against Me. Deep darkness covers the Earth. There is a special inheritance for you, My kings and queens. There is a wall of fire around you, and My glory is within you. In the last season You have set Me as a seal upon your heart. Now you set Me as a seal upon your arm. Glory and fire go with you. This yoke is one of glory, fire and resurrection life! Will I not quicken your mortal bodies? Who am I? Am I not Creator of the universe? The greatest of all. The One true living God. It is a very small and easy thing for Me to accomplish what I want through you. I have created vessels of the greatest honor. Vessels that will not say no, vessels that will not say, “I’m too scared, or it’s too hard”. I have given you eyes to see, and nothing is impossible with Me. Crazy, wild faith beloved! (I can hear Him laughing wildly!) As the scripture says, Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man the things I have prepared for those who love Me.”

    If this word resonated with you, then please pray this prayer with me!

    Dearest Heavenly Father, what wonders to behold with Your heart! Confront Me Lord, take away everything that comes between You and I. Give me grace to walk with You in this next season, to leave the old yoke behind and never look back. Pour Yourself into me Lord, Your goodness, Your love, Your instruction, Your glory.  I want You to have Your way. Glorify Yourself within me. Thank You Father for the deep work You have done. Truly, You will complete what You started. Your ways are unsearchable. There is none so beautiful Jesus. Thank You for loving me the way You do. In Jesus name, amen.

  • For The Shining Ones 

    For The Shining Ones 

    “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” – Proverbs 4:18 

    As believers we are on the path of life, walking towards Jesus, walking towards… the Son. One foot in front of the other, we devote our lives to Him, moving forward with purpose in our hearts.  As we keep our gaze transfixed, He shines brighter within us. Transforming us, we begin to look like Him, reflecting His glory. We become shining ones.  

    There is a metamorphosis taking place in the body of Christ. His sons and daughters are becoming better beings. The old form, or nature we have lived under for so long, is breaking away. It’s time now to take those promises off the shelf and dust them off! In this last season hope differed made your heart sick. Still, you pressed on, and God has seen your faithfulness. Now it’s time for promises to be fulfilled. The radiance and glory of God shines upon you!  

    This is what I hear Him saying… 

    “This is for the Shining Ones says the Lord. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give Me glory. My light shines on you and it shines within you. I am speaking to the ones I raised eating manna. I fed you from My own hand in the secret place. I raised you in the valley of trouble and offered you a door of hope. I taught you to lean upon Me, to hear My voice. I showed you that true rest can only be found in Me. I have taken responsibility for you. I pulled you in with cords of kindness and love. When the world system and the religious crowd rejected you, I accepted you and revealed Myself to you.  

    My shining ones, have I not prepared you for such a time as this? You are oak trees of righteousness, which I have preserved in My greenhouse. How you flourish! You are true treasure to Me! And you know it. You have opened up your heart and become vulnerable before Me, and so I have revealed Myself to you in the deepest and most gentle way. You are Esthers, orphans, having no spiritual mothers or fathers to raise you. Yet I have raised you. I have given you the spirit of adoption, and now you cry out, “Abba Father!” It is because I raised you in the secret place that you truly know Me. Nothing man-made will ever snatch you out of My hand! 

    To you I say arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the people. But the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” 

    If you felt like this word was for you, please say this prayer with me- 

    Father, My King and My closest Friend, teach me to love You! Give me a heart that belongs to You alone. Allow me to long for, hurt for what hurts You. I want to give You my all. Make me completely Yours. Renew my strength, so I can live out my days for You. You are my heart’s desire. Have Your way in my life. I love You Jesus. Make me like You. I want to reflect Your glory and shine Your Light. I want to give You Your reward, Your inheritance, Your Bride. You are My King forever- 

    In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

  • Push the Baby Out!

    Push the Baby Out!

    Have you been experiencing intense warfare lately? Do you feel like giving up? It has been intense for me, and I know I can’t be the only one. I am talking about feeling exhausted, done, fantasizing about a better life and looking for a way-out kind of warfare. The “Lord, I can’t handle this anymore!” kind of warfare.

    In the midst of me breaking down and crying out to Jesus I keep seeing myself in labor, specifically remembering giving birth to my son Noah. Then I realized that God was speaking to me, and this is what He showed me.

    When I gave birth to my son Noah, I was unmedicated. The pain was so intense for me. I felt exhausted, done and just wanted a way out. I was literally screaming, “Jesus, help me! I can’t do this!”  My doctor kept yelling at me, “Just push him out! You’ve just got to push him out!” 

    That is exactly what God is saying to me and to some of you right now. I hear Him saying, “The heat has been turned up and the fire is hot! Do you not know My promises for you? Have I not spoken to you for years now? Of course the enemy is assailing you! This is a full-scale attack! He wants to stop you from giving birth to your promise. You and I have walked together for years now, and for years I have been molding you and preparing you for this next great chapter of your life. And do you want to give up now?? After all the labor and tears, and stretching, and building of your faith, and after all the sacrifices? Do not give up My beloved, it is time to push this baby out!”

    When I was delivering my son, I was angry with the doctor. I was in a vulnerable state, and he showed no compassion. What I didn’t know was that my son had his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck three times and his heart rate was dropping. My doctor was trying to save my son’s life! My son’s name is Noah, which means peace and rest.

    In the same way God showed me that I and some of you are going through the same thing. The enemy is trying to get us to give up and stop fighting so he can destroy our soon coming and promised place of rest. He wants us to give up on the promise God has given us. He wants us to be angry with God for making us go through the toughest battles. He wants our weariness to overwhelm us into an artificial rest (giving up), when everything God has trained us for is in sight!

    I hear Him saying this, “I know this has felt like forever. I know it has. But you know I am real, and so are My promises. You know your gifts and calling by now because you walk with Me and serve me with your whole heart. Do not doubt or let your faith waver. I see the end, even though you do not. Trust Me, keep trusting Me and listen to the sound of My voice. I will see you through to the end. I have given you My life and I have given you, My heart. Press on, lay hold of Me, tether yourself to Me. The time has come for your light to shine.”

    If you feel like this word is for you, please say this prayer with me; Father, give me strength for this battle. Strengthen me with power through your Spirit from the inside out. Tether me to You, ground me in Your love. Reveal Yourself to me in this situation. Give me eyes to see and ears to hear. I want to see, and I want to hear what You’re saying. Thank You for Your love and thank You for guiding me. I believe You will see me through to the end. In Jesus’ name, amen.
