On Saturday, March 13th, at sundown, we entered into Nisan, the first month of the Hebrew year, according to Exodus 12:2-3. This is the time during which the Lord spoke to Moses and the Israelites about preparing for the Passover. Passover this year starts on March 27th and ends on April 4th (Resurrection Sunday). We need to celebrate! He is alive! Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. He is our Passover Lamb. He died, was buried and resurrected to overcome sin, death and the grave so the curse over us would be broken.
Transformation is God's promise as we see in 2 Corinthians 3:18, yet there are areas where we often don't allow God to work. Let's take a few moments and discover how God's care for you can manifest as you recognize the need for it and you allow it to manifest. If you're struggling to make changes in your life, it could be that you're not convinced a change is needed. Many of us are also great at avoiding change. It tends to be something we dread, rather than look forward to.
And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. 2 Timothy 4:18 Psalm 91 ends with the power-packed verse, "With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation." Many years ago, the Lord opened my eyes to see that apart from the four names of God that we covered in the first two verses of Psalm 91, there is another name of God, a fifth name, concealed in the very last word of Psalm 91.
"Therefore submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 Do you know what time it is? Is your watch synchronized with heaven? For those who are watching and discerning movements in the spiritual realm, know that this is not the time to acquiesce, comply or back down. Nor is it the time to fight one another or battle for vindication. As the enemies of God spew out their defiant destruction on anything holy and pure, it is time for the people of God to take their stand and resist the devil. "Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8
Have you ever been stuck? When I weighed 430 pounds being stuck was a fear I had. I didn't sit in booths because I was afraid I would get stuck there. I didn't go in caves because what if I got into the depths of it and I couldn't fit through an opening? Then I'd have to go back to the beginning or wait there all by myself. I remember one time when I was a teenager. We went on vacation to Lookout Mountain in Tenn. They had one pass called Fat Man's Squeeze. I didn't even attempt to go through it. There was a way around it although it was up steep stairs and down more steep stairs.
The Lord reminded me today about "the fold" in five-fold ministry, how it is like "folding in" ingredients in a recipe. That word "fold" for us is also used as a fold of sheep, or a sheepfold, to refer to them as a group. Then I saw a "picture" in my head of an Emergency Room, and I have been a patient in one of those before. You know that in a hospital, there are the doctors and nurses, and cleaning staff, and lab techs, and supervisors and records clerks and other people that play important roles in a hospital.
What a crazy season! On top of the ongoing pandemic and unsettling election time in the USA, many of our friends and family members have experienced a severe cold storm with days of long power outages and loss of water. Upheaval on many fronts ushers us into a place of opportunity if we are willing to grasp it. Oftentimes this opportunity looks like a place of simplicity.
People often ask: How do you hear the Holy Spirit's voice? Do you hear voices? Does He speak in dreams, visions, pictures and parables? Does He show you metaphors, puzzles, analogies, enigmas, rhymes and riddles? Could you sense His presence and is it possible to smell His fragrance? Did He really speak to Moses through a burning bush, and could He do the same today? The answer is yes to all of the above questions. Although it's rare to hear the audible voice of the Lord, He certainly could choose to speak this way if He pleases. He wants to visit us, open our eyes and give us encounters.
As I was praying recently the Lord spoke to me and said that more shaking was about to come, that this was a good time to possess the Spirit of the fear of the Lord! Before I go further, I would first like to build on the topic of fear that I touched on in a recent article, as fear can be both a good and a bad thing, depending on who or what you are fearing. In my last article I said in essence: We never have to fear the enemy or anything when we are living inside of the will of God; nevertheless, if we are living outside of the will of God, we should fear! God created fear to keep people from things that would harm and hurt them.
The month of March is the release of new assignments and instructions that will unfold more over the next few months. Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it." Habakkuk 2:2 NKJV Be prepared to write down what the Lord is speaking to you. Watch for dreams and visions to increase as we are entering into the season of Passover (March 27–April 4) and Resurrection Sunday on April 4. This is a very strategic season to hear the voice of God! Get ready to "pass over" into a new season in March and April. The Jewish holiday of Passover reminds us of God's greatness when He gave Moses the plan to get them through a difficult season. This month God is releasing prophetic Passover strategies for you.
