A New Seat
On Monday (the 26th of February), I was in prayer when the Holy Spirit had me read the story of Samuel's mother Hannah, who was barren, yet God answered her prayer and gave her a son. Out of great joy, she started singing to the Lord, and this is part of what she said:
"He lifts the poor from the dust and the needy from the garbage dump. He sets them among princes, placing them in seats of honor. For all the earth is the Lord's, and He has set the world in order." (1 Samuel 2:8 NLT)
As I read this, my spirit filled with joy, and in the spirit dimension, I started to see a banquet with many glorious seats. The seats looked so royal, and there was a red rose and a white plate with silver edges in front of each seat. God Himself was preparing the table and inviting specific people to sit with Him and to commune with Him.
I was asking God, "What are the conditions of getting a chair at Your table?" Once again, the Holy Spirit reminded me of Hannah's prayer. He lifts the poor from the dust and sets them among His princes. They become His guests of honor. Being poor (in this context) does not refer to those who are materially poor. Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven" (Matthew 5:3).
Who are the poor?
Jesus is saying that the poor in spirit are the humble who realize their need for God. These people will be lifted up from the dust and from the garbage dump. I heard the Lord say, "I am changing their position and giving them a new seat."
This is a great example of what God will be doing to many:
"'Don't be afraid,' David said to him, 'for I will surely show you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table. Mephibosheth bowed down and said, 'What is your servant, that you should notice a dead dog like me?'" (2 Samuel 9:7–8)
The "Nameless Revival"
The moment I realized what the Lord was saying, I started to see people falling out of their seats. This was a different setting. I was reminded of the verse that talks about judgment starting with the house of God (see 1 Peter 4:17).
The Holy Spirit had me read the story of Eli, who was aware of the wickedness of his two children, yet he did nothing about it. Eli judged Israel for forty years. (In Scripture, forty years marks the end of a generation.) There is a generation that's about to end, and it will be marked with great exposure. But there is a new one that's about to start, and God is celebrating it. It will be called the "nameless revival." So much glory is coming, but with it, those that are continuing in their sin will lose their seats. (Photo via Get Archive)
"So the sin of these young men was very serious in the Lord's sight, for they treated the Lord's offerings with contempt." (1 Samuel 2:17 NLT)
"Now Eli was very old, but he was aware of what his sons were doing to the people of Israel. He knew, for instance, that his sons were seducing the young women who assisted at the entrance of the Tabernacle." (1 Samuel 2:22 NLT)
"...The messenger rushed over to Eli, who was ninety-eight years old and blind. He said to Eli, 'I have just come from the battlefield—I was there this very day.'
"'What happened, my son?' Eli demanded.
"'Israel has been defeated by the Philistines,' the messenger replied. 'The people have been slaughtered, and your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were also killed. And the Ark of God has been captured.'
"When the messenger mentioned what had happened to the Ark of God, Eli fell backward from his seat beside the gate. He broke his neck and died, for he was old and overweight. He had been Israel's judge for forty years." (1 Samuel 4:14–18 NLT)
Vision of Congress: The Monopoly Is Over!
In a vision (on the 5th of March), I stepped into a congressional room. The carpet was dark blue, and the curtains were red. Many politicians came to take their seats as they always had, but their seats were occupied by other people. They didn't want to leave their seats, and were pushing out the new people, but they were taken out.
Then, I heard the Lord say in a loud voice, "The monopoly is over!"
It's a new season... a season of "on Earth as it is in Heaven."
As I took this into prayer, the Holy Spirit immediately reminded me of Saul.
"'How foolish!' Samuel exclaimed. 'You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. Had you kept it, the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after His own heart. The Lord has already appointed him to be the leader of His people, because you have not kept the Lord's command.'" (1 Samuel 13:13–14 NLT)
Although the Lord chose and appointed David, Saul kept occupying the seat as an illegitimate king. Eventually he lost his seat and David's kingdom lasted forever through Jesus the Messiah. This is about to happen again, even in the area of government. God is pulling the plug on those who are occupying seats that are not theirs. It's a time where there will be a shuffling of seats, too. Some will be moving up and gaining more Kingdom authority, while others will be moving down because of pride.
A Time of Enormous Restoration
At the start of March, I kept seeing and dreaming of the numbers 333, and I didn't understand it. As I prayed about it, the Lord reminded me of Jeremiah 33:3.
"Ask Me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come." (Jeremiah 33:3 NLT)
I felt a strong urge to read the whole chapter, and all I could see was the word "restoration" jumping from the page. Three times, Jeremiah promised God's people that they were coming into times of restoration:
"I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel and rebuild their towns." (Jeremiah 33:7 NLT)
"...For I will restore the prosperity of this land to what it was in the past, says the Lord." (Jeremiah 33:11) (Photo via PickPik)
"...I will restore them to their land and have mercy on them." (Jeremiah 33:26 NLT)
A Word for March: "I Am Raising You Up"
[Editor's note: Below is a word Yvon didn't get to share on her recent interview, but we wanted to include it here for our readers and viewers to enjoy for themselves.]
The Lord says, "I am raising you up from the lowest places, from the dust, from the ashes. I am raising you up and setting you, like a jeweler who sets a high-priced diamond in a royal ring. I am raising you up and seating you in a seat of honor at My table. I am raising you up and seating you in heavenly places, beyond the reach of your enemies.
"For I have seen your pain, your desperate need for Me, and your humility. I have seen your anguish, and your tears have come before My throne. I will answer your prayers and remember your plea, as I remembered Hannah and gave her Samuel.
"For your Creator is your Husband; 'The Lord of Heaven's Army' is His name. You will no longer be remembered for your barrenness, but your fruitfulness. You have nothing to fear, for you are sitting at My table, and have come under My protection.
"I will change your position and seat you in seats you have never sat in before. Get ready to be seated alongside those whom I honor, and those whom I have established. Many will be losing their seats because of their arrogance and pride; but as for you, My covenant partner, you are moving up into seats of honor.
"You will be My guest of honor, fellowshipping and communing with Me, and coming under My protection. I am lifting you up from your prison and seating you at My royal table. As Joseph was lifted from the prison to the palace, I will do it again for you. For I am the God of justice, and righteousness is My name.
"I am lifting you up to a place where I shall restore to you ancient fortunes; I shall restore to you lost fortunes; I shall restore to you stolen fortunes. For you are now seated at My table.
"Everything will start to change. For as you honored Me in your lowest seasons, I will honor you. For I honor those who honor Me.
"Get ready, for this month will be marked by many shifts. Everything around you is shifting – shifting into seats of honor and glory."
