Home Sweet Home

March 2021

There has been much shifting and changing that has caused many to feel as though their world has been spinning. I too have felt the intense pressure as the Lord has been aligning things and people into position for His perfect time and plan.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 ESV

As I began to mow my grass for the first time this season, something changed. As I pulled the mower into the grass, I felt the ground under my feet quake and groan. As I began to mow, I hit an invisible-type wall, went through it, and heard the sound of one final tick as you would hear on a clock as it’s stopping. It was as if the shifting and the ticking of time stopped and aligned as I stepped into a “suddenly” moment. Like a tilt-a-whirl ride coming to a screeching halt, I was now able to get off the ride and receive my prize.

“Forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 3:13-14 ESV

As I broke through this invisible wall, I felt as though I stepped into a deep cloud as everything settled in and around me. I felt an overwhelming sense of “home” like I landed from a long flight, happy to stretch my legs again. I almost wanted to kiss the ground as I thought, “So this is what normal feels like.” It felt like a grounding of sorts; a breakthrough into something new that is no longer shifting, but done and is now here. It was the inheritance of my faith; a land designed so perfectly by God––my home sweet home.

“By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.”

Hebrews 11:8-10 ESV

Like crossing over on dry land, I felt myself hit the new ground as the final tick of the countdown sounded. Like a woman pushing her final push before her baby is born, the alignment in time made a groaning under my feet. I felt shock waves go out from under me and my children inside the home felt it too. They instantly felt settled and an overwhelming sense of grounding. Whatever hit me also hit them. The Lord then spoke to me loud and clear and said,

Drink in My plans for you, for this is your reward.

I had an instant knowing that this was not just for my family, but for many as we cross over into something deeper. Many will now begin to take back the land–their promised land.

“The Lord repay you for what you have done, and a full reward be given you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge!” Ruth 2:12 ESV

As I listened to one of my spiritual sons, Darrion Smith, accompanied by the amazing Viviana Valek, sing an original song during a live MorningStar University worship event, the Lord spoke once again about what He is doing in and among many right now. The song lyrics burned deep in my spirit as they sang, bringing much confirmation:

“Focusing on You is what we do

Not paying mind to the holes inside

Cause Your on our side

And the chains won’t bind

We’re gonna see a breakthrough

We’re gonna see a breakthrough

I see the light it’s bright

Oh it blinds me

I can’t see the things around me

Take me deeper

Take me deeper

Bursting through the seams

Of the supernatural dreams

I start my day with You

And at the end of the night I will stay”

“So with God’s enablement we will move on to deeper truths.” Hebrews 6:3 TPT

I declare breakthrough! Those who feel like their world has been spinning will suddenly feel settled as they fall deeper into the truth of God’s promises. The spinning shall stop in His perfect time and those on the tilt-a-whirl of change will instantly feel grounded. They will feel at home and at peace as they step into the land promised to them. They will now land in their rightful place as the Lord aligns them into position for what is in store. I speak that they will see their “suddenly” moments finally come to pass. What seemed impossible will now actually become possible.

“For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” Habakkuk 2:3 ESV

I decree a SUDDEN breakthrough! No more delay of supernatural dreams. The things many have been contending for shall instantly become reality before their eyes. The promise of their rewards shall come to fruition as joy overwhelms them. Hope deferred is gone and now their mouths will be filled with praise. They have run the race, passed the test, and now many shall see their victory. The tangible manifestation of God's supernatural promises will come to pass as they ground themselves in Jesus and obey His voice–falling deeper in love with Him. The shockwaves of His presence shall flow from the ground of fulfilled promises as many drink in His plans and receive His reward.

“Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Genesis 28:15 ESV

I encourage you to go deeper, stop looking at the things around you and push through the invisible wall of deferred hope and unfulfilled promises to breakthrough to the other side. I feel many are so close to their reward, but feel weary from the long and hard journey. I am saying to you today, keep mowing the grass. Push through! Don’t stop! Don’t give up! You shall own and become grounded in the land that was promised to you through supernatural dreams. It shall happen so suddenly, many will feel like it’s a dream. But know this, His words are true. He is faithful and rewards those who don’t give up. He sees what you've walked through, all the tears you’ve shed and the lonely nights you've spent. He has seen your sacrifice and says to you today, “Well done My good and faithful servant. You may now enjoy My reward.”

“God will bless you, if you don't give up when your faith is being tested. He will reward you with a glorious life, just as He rewards everyone who loves Him.” James 1:12 CEV

“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:19 ESV
