Hidden Ones Stepping Into the Light
I saw a vision of the Lord. He was gently yet firmly pushing people out from behind a black curtain and onto a grand stage. The entire stage was covered in darkness. One by one, as each person stepped forward, the stage lights suddenly blazed brightly, illuminating them. Their expressions looked startled from the brilliance of the light.
Then the Lord began to speak to me, addressing the recent exposure of darkness within the Body of Christ. He concluded by saying, "Now is the time for My glorious exposure. Many have been hidden in obscurity, but I call them forth in this hour. These are My hidden ones."
Forged in the Fires of Hiddenness
The Lord revealed that these individuals had endured a fiery refining process in their hiddenness. Now the time had come for them to reveal His glory—not as an external covering, but as a fire burning deep within, unquenchable by the schemes of the enemy.
"The grace upon these people cannot be extinguished," He declared.
"I have shaped them in secret for such a time as this. They are vital for this hour, as many will pioneer 'spearhead ministries' that carry My healing, restoration, and deliverance to the nations." (Photo via Unsplash)
The Lord then directed me to Isaiah 49:2–4 (NIV): "He made my mouth like a sharpened sword, in the shadow of His hand, He hid me; He made me into a polished arrow and concealed me in His quiver. He said to me, 'You are My servant, Israel, in whom I will display My splendor.' But I said, 'I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing at all. Yet what is due me is in the Lord's hand, and my reward is with my God.'"
These hidden ones have often felt forgotten, as if their labor has been in vain. They've poured out their strength to endure, questioning if their efforts have mattered. But the Lord reminds us that if we endure, we will reign with Christ (2 Timothy 2:12).
Many of these faithful servants are nameless and faceless to the world, but they are known intimately by God. In their unseen obedience, He has been preparing them for this glorious unveiling.
They Will Do More than Restore
Isaiah 49 goes on to describe the restoration of nations through the hands of these hidden ones. Through them, healing and salvation will flow. For His name's sake the Lord will restore their strength and honor.
"And now the Lord speaks—the one who formed me in my mother's womb to be His servant, who commissioned me to bring Israel back to Him. The Lord has honored me, and my God has given me strength. He says, 'You will do more than restore the people of Israel to Me. I will make you a light to the Gentiles, and you will bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.'" (Isaiah 49:5–6 NLT)
The Lord spoke of how these once seemly rejected ones will rise with such brilliance that those in authority will take notice. They will be marked as the chosen of the Lord.
"...Kings will stand at attention when you pass by. Princes will also bow low because of the Lord, the faithful one, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you." (Isaiah 49:7 NLT)
Drawing All Men to God
As this glorious unveiling takes place, I heard a song playing in the background:
Great are You, Lord
It's Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise, we pour out our praise...
(Great Are You Lord, written by David Leonard, Jason Ingram, and Leslie Jordan) (Photo via Unsplash)
This song is a testimony—a mantra of worship—rising from the earth. These hidden ones have endured seasons of crushing and weariness, where it has felt like only the breath of the Lord has sustained them. Their praise comes not from circumstances but from their deep reliance on their Savior, Jesus. The brightness of their rising will draw nations.
"Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising." (Isaiah 60:3 AMP)
This is a time of encouragement and open reward for those who have faithfully guarded their posts, kept their assignments, and remained steadfast in the face of adversity.
To them, the Lord says, "Arise, shine, for your light has come, and My glory rises upon you."
