God + Man Has Always Been His Plan
The following is the revelation God gave me about His eighth creation (man) and how He works with man (us) to bring about His Kingdom, His plans and His dreams in the earth.
It has always been about a King and His Kingdom, and it has always been about you. It really is the most amazing story ever told, and you are at the heart of it. You are at the center of God's plan, and you are at the center of His heart. God plus man has always been His plan. You are "the plan." You are His dream come true.
"Then God said, 'Let us make mankind in Our image, in Our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:26-27 NIV)
"Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into His nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being." (Genesis 2:7 NIV)
I heard the LORD say, "I AM crowning you, and I AM marking this moment. I AM crowning your nation, your kings and your leaders. I AM crowning you and marking this day. Remember this day, this month, this year... You will look on this day and see all that was fulfilled."
This time has been referred to as a "Great Awakening." What is happening today is not only an awakening to the evil that has been going on for a very long time in this nation (the United States) and in the world; it also is an awakening to who we truly are. We are the light of the world. We are His special forces in the earth. This is about God, this is about His Kingdom, and this is about you, the apple of His eye; His Remnant and His Bride. It is about our inheritance as sons and daughters of the Most High, and it is about His inheritance with you and me.
The enemy hates this plan. He trembles at the possibility that we would understand and embrace our role in the Kingdom, fulfilling God's plan both as His sons and daughters, and as the Bride of Christ – His warrior Bride. We are of the lineage and bloodline of King Jesus. We have a blood covenant with Jesus and a birthright to all that Jesus paid for to give us. We are His sons and daughters, His royal heirs, seated with Him in heavenly places. We are in Him as He is in us. We are ONE (see Romans 8:15-17).
No other part of creation shares this position. It is an impenetrable and unbreakable bond and covenant that we possess through Christ. We are "one" with the King of kings, and this was planned before the beginning of creation. And God sent His own Son to be the ransom that we would be given – the doorway into this union. Jesus made the way. He is the Way and the Open Door for you and me. This was Their plan. Yet, the very idea of God and man together as one torments and terrifies our adversary. He is terrified by what is being awakened in the earth and within us.
This is about what God always meant for us: His children, His family, abiding together as ONE. Jesus made the way. He always partners and works together with His creation – God plus man. (Photo via Piqsels)
We are about to be astounded by the God of all creation who has designed this incredible plan before the beginning of mankind. He is accomplishing His will and His dream today. He is doing this with President Trump and our nation. He is doing this hand-in-hand with our military – those known and those hidden. He is doing this through His people. And He is igniting passion and purpose in you for all that you are meant for.
For some, it is a time of refreshing that will soon come. Promises fulfilled are just ahead, reward for the great intercession and warfare you have withstood. For many, this is a time of commissioning that's about to take place. There are assignments, armor, strategies and battle plans being handed out for your mountain of influence and calling. Arise, great and mighty army of the MOST HIGH God. The time is upon us, and the victory is at hand!
"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed." (Roman 8:19 NIV)
The story of God plus man is woven all throughout the Bible. Through Noah, Abraham and Sarah; through the book of Ruth, Esther and King David; through the prophets, judges, kings and warriors, God gave strategies, dreams and prophecies. He appointed some as leaders and even kings. For many, He worked through complete miracles and impossibilities to bring about His story, and even the birth of Jesus.
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." (1 Peter 2:9 ESV)
"On that day you will realize that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me. The one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I too will love him and show Myself to them." (John 14:20-21 NIV)
Arise and Shine! The Best Is Yet to Come
The God of all creation loves you more than you could imagine. He designed you uniquely and for a special purpose. You are the only "you."
The greatest battle was won when a King saved the whole world. That victory was planned by God intentionally and made a way for you and me to be alive and to be free. It is the most epic story of good and evil and has been told across the ages.
The battle of good and evil is still very real. Right now, there is a war on our freedoms, our children and our voices. Many brave people fought and gave their lives for the freedoms we have enjoyed. Our nation was founded on them. The challenges of the last couple of years and today allow for plenty of reasons to be fearful. It seems like every aspect of society and our world has been attacked. Financial systems, education and even the basic things needed for life have been rocked. But now it is time to arise and shine and become all that God created us to be, because anything significant is worth fighting for, right?
Your story is important. You were made for this time. I pray that God will open up doors for you that no man can close, and that you will realize His dreams, purposes and calling in your life. It is in you, and you are the missing piece that this world needs! You are someone that we all need; never believe the lie that you are not. God had amazing plans for you.
We are in a battle right now...darkness against light. Keep standing. Keep believing. Have faith and have courage. You were made to shine. You are not alone, and the best is yet to come!
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and His glory appears over you." (Isaiah 60:1-2 NIV) (Photo via Unsplash)
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9 NIV)
To the "Edgy," Creative, Misplaced and Misunderstood – This Is Your Big Reveal!
I keep hearing the word "edgy" and seeing that there is something so new emerging. The breaking of an old mold is taking place. Like a caterpillar in a cocoon, it is not comfortable. You can't see what is out there. It feels dark. Something is happening inside you and around you that does not feel like anything you've ever felt.
An old mold is breaking, and structures in our world are too. Some things just cannot go on any more like they have been. Like a container of oil or perfume, a shattering may not seem good, but a new fragrance is about to be poured out. New oil is being released and is about to fill your life.
All that you have longed for is inside of you. The tight space of the cocoon is about to open up to the greatest freedom and most beautiful life you could ever imagine. Sounds, light, songs, fragrance and freedom are about to come alive in you and all around you.
With this, I see a display of LIGHT and FAVOR over the "edgy," creative, artistic, misunderstood and misplaced! Those who are homeless, abandoned by their family, misunderstood, not accepted (in school, in the church or in society) – this is for you! To you, I say, there is something inside of you. Some of you feel disqualified because it hasn't happened before. It is because YOU haven't happened before! Get ready!
And get ready, people, to welcome these edgy and creative ones! God loves them. Jesus paid a great price for them! They are here and you are here to usher in the GLORY of the LORD that has never been seen before!
Let them come, LORD! Let them be released into ALL that You have intended and dreamed for Your sons and daughters – and for us all!
Let us not miss this! Let us not be quick to judge or misunderstand or even misinterpret what is about to come in and through and upon these edgy and creative ones. For there is treasure more brilliant than we can imagine that is shining within them and waiting to be released. And even the earth is crying out for these sons and daughters to come forth and be REVEALED!
Get ready for the BIG REVEALS of God!
"For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed." (Roman 8:19 NIV)
"Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours." (Isaiah 61:7 NIV)
