This is the year of Women being released!
In November of 2011 I had a vision of thousands of women coming out of their homes, moving together in unity like warriors. These women had been in isolation and were coming out of difficult seasons and situations. Moving together in a common purpose and focus to Serve the One who has set them free.
Then on a flight in December 2012 to Norway where I was attending the relaunch of a Christian television network I fell asleep and was suddenly woken up by the sound of an alarm! The Lord spoke to me to say that this was the beginning of the 'awakening' ... a move of God that's going to sweep the earth.
Over the past 18 months there has been progression and a building in the spirit to bring us to the point where we are being awakened to the calling and destiny of God on our lives. Its starting in the small gatherings and places where people are hungry for God.
Why is God releasing Women now you might ask? Its so that we can SERVE HIM and to be in relationship with Him...
I was taken to a passage of scripture in Exodus 9:1 where the Lord told Moses, 'Go to Pharaoh and tell him to let my people go so that they may 'serve me'.... If you know the story at all, the Israelites were in captivity under the ruling of Pharaoh and God kept sending plagues in order for them to be released.
If you've been in some kind of slavery yourself or if you've been praying for God to release you to start a business or to help the orphans or some other noble thing then all these things may be good, but you may have missed the reason that God move's to release you and it's to 'serve Him'.
Our eyes must be lifted off of ourselves & situations and placed on Him so that we can be free to live out the fullness of our destiny and ONLY with Him can we be truly free. We have been created to worship and minister to the Lord. When we do that God takes care of the rest.
Psalm 97:5 Mountains melt like WAX at the presence of the Lord.
Its all about relationships, walking in and demonstrating love both in your family, your business, your community, your world! The presence of the Lord is entered into when we serve and worship Him - when we are in relationship.
1 Corinthians 13:3 says that 'even if I give my body to be burned but have not LOVE, it profits me nothing'..
Its not about your gifts, talents or skills but about relationships. Being connected with the things that are on God's heart. Building relationships with the people God has connected you to without manipulation or control or what you can get from them. Its about being purposeful without an agenda. You see God doesn't need what you have. He doesn't want you striving but resting in Him because its all about Him. Its moving away from a works justification life to a Grace life.
What is Grace? Its God's ability working in us to do what we could not do on our own...
It isn't about us, its all about Jesus and His life within us! The more we immerse ourselves in that knowledge and in the character of Jesus, the more we become like Him, the more we present to the world the characteristics of authenticity and integrity.
Now is the season of dreams and visions to be resurrected and released with power and authority!
May this be the Year of Your Release!!
