Steven Springer: "The Sound of Revival and Grace: 'Wake Up, the Bells Are Ringing'"

From the desk of Steve Shultz:

We've been receiving more and more words about a "new sound" and much about "revival" that is happening across the Body today! People get excited when they hear about the NEW that is happening... and we should! God wants us to get really excited and be full of expectancy as He pours Himself out in a fresh, new way.

Read this awesome new word by Steven Springer:

We are in a season of the breakthrough, and there is a sound from Heaven that is being released that will lead to the greatest awakening. In a recent encounter with the Lord, I heard five church bells ring in the Spirit. I believe the bells are five distinct sounds that will resound this year, a new era of revival and grace! These bells echoed from eternity; each one has its own unique but unified, harmonious sound.

Now, I'm not going to give it away...I'll let you read about these five sounds Steven speaks of here!

We are in a season of the breakthrough, and there is a sound from Heaven that is being released that will lead to the greatest awakening. In a recent encounter with the Lord, I heard five church bells ring in the Spirit. I believe the bells are five distinct sounds that will resound this year, a new era of revival and grace! These bells echoed from eternity; each one has its own unique but unified, harmonious sound.

The First Bell

The first bell is a John the Baptist call to prepare the way of the Lord with a thunderous voice from unusual places, inner cities, classrooms, corporate buildings, rural communities, and from the heartland.

He will go before the Lord as a forerunner, with the same power and anointing as Elijah the prophet. He will be instrumental in turning the hearts of the fathers in tenderness back to their children and the hearts of the disobedient back to the wisdom of their righteous fathers. And he will prepare a united people who are ready for the Lord's appearing. Luke 1:17 The Passion Translation

The Second Bell

The second bell is the sound of a great awakening in the First Nations of North America. God is awakening the sleeping giant, and the voice will be heard in the land; and the land will respond to the cries, worship, and the sound of the First Nations being awakened to the reality that Jesus is the living one true God, the Great Spirit.

...and [if] My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from Heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land. Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer offered in this place. 2 Chronicles 7:14-15 AMP

The Third Bell

The third bell was the bell of unity. I see in the Body of Christ that there will be a cross pollination of the Church and its many parts working together and encouraging each other. There will be a coming down of denominational barriers that keep the Body of Christ from being the Body of Christ! The Body will need to believe the best in one another and bless one another rather than tear down.

Don't let even one rotten word seep out of your mouths. Instead, offer only fresh words that build others up when they need it most. That way your good words will communicate grace to those who hear them. Ephesians 4:29 VOICE

There is a unity coming that will bring strength, and it's a unity that will bring the commanded blessing of the Lord on His Bride in this hour.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!...For there the Lord commanded the blessing – life forevermore. Psalm 133:1-3 NKJV

The Fourth Bell

The fourth bell was the sound of a dinner bell. I heard the Lord say, "The famine has ended; let them run to the banqueting table! There is a feast set up for you; have as much as you want!" (Photo via Pixabay)

I was reminded of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes; the first time after feeding the 5,000 plus women and children, there were twelve baskets full left over; then after feeding the 4,000 plus women and children another time, there were seven baskets full left over!

God the Provider is bringing abundance, and you can have as much of God as you want. The Father is a Father of abundance, and He's inviting us to His banqueting table to have as much of Him as we want; even in the presence of our enemies we get to feast upon His goodness, upon His character, upon His love. For those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied – only left wanting more!

You spread out a table before me, provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies; You care for all my needs, anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil, filling my cup again and again with Your grace. Psalm 23:5 VOICE

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Matthew 5:6 NASB

The Fifth Bell

The fifth bell is the sound of the alarm of awakening!

Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you. The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side. Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you. Isaiah 60:1-5 NKJV

God is bringing an awakening sound like the sound of the trumpet to call His people to attention, to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength so we can love ourselves and love our neighbors as ourselves – then true societal transformation will happen.

It's All About Grace!

Here is a great testimony of God's grace and goodness. We were in an African village serving the community in practical ways. In the heat of the day, we made our way to a large shade tree in the center of the village, where we proceeded to share the good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom. The Lord spoke to me earlier that people would see! That day there was a woman sitting off to my left who was blind. The Lord said, "She's the one – she will see you today!"

I took a couple of our translators with me and proceeded to speak with her; finding out that her name was Grace put a smile on my face. We tried to talk to her, but she couldn't hear us for she was both deaf and blind. I put my fingers in her ears and spoke, "Ephphatha," like Jesus spoke, "Be open," and immediately her ears were open and she could hear!

Come to find out, she was not born again, so we proceeded to share the Good News with her of the Gospel of the Kingdom and God's great love for her and to receive Christ as her Lord and Savior. Next, we proceeded to pray for her eyes to be opened that she might see. We prayed the first time, and all she could see was angels all around. So we prayed again and the scales were pulled back and she could see!

The Lord spoke to me regarding these series of miracles; He said, "It's all about grace – in My grace I will bring the power that ears will be opened that they may hear the good news of the Gospel of the Kingdom of My saving grace, and so that their eyes may be open that they may see and perceive how amazing MY love is."

Harvest time is at hand with abounding grace!
