God Is Releasing A War Cry On Your Behalf
By Becky Porter
I see an hourglass and I hear the words, “Time is running out – it is time to get back on track.”
I see a vision of a person driving a car on the freeway and I see that they are on a “clover-leaf” and have been going around and around in a circle, unable to find the exit, but then suddenly they find it, and it’s as if they are seeing it for the very first time. I feel this represents that for those of us who have been in a cycle of defeat and/or old and familiar habit patterns/strongholds/trials that we have been unable to break free from - we are about to receive the breakthroughs we have been looking for!
I hear the song, “His eye is on the sparrow and I know He’s watching me.”
Even when you felt all alone, overlooked, and forgotten, God has never forgotten you, no, not even for one moment, for He loves you with an everlasting love!
God sees your sacrifices, He sees your suffering, and He hears your prayers. He has heard and He will answer. When it seems God is silent it is easy to doubt His love for us and to wonder if He hears our prayers and cares about us. But I want to assure you that He loves you much more than you could ever imagine. I sense His VERY strong and passionate love for you, and a fierce protectiveness, just as a mother has for her newborn baby, or a mother bear has for her cubs – He will go to great lengths to take vengeance against the enemy for coming against you.
I hear a war cry coming from Him – it is so loud, it is as if it is echoing through a large canyon and it can be heard for miles. He is letting the enemy know that his time is short and vengeance is God’s, and the enemy will pay for every single time he has come against you and every single thing he has done to hurt you!
I see a vision of you coming up out of the water. It’s as if you have been under water holding your breath, and finally you can’t take it any longer and you pop to the surface and take a huge breath of fresh air, gulping it in as if your very life depends on it. God wants to be the very air you breathe - He wants to be your only source – your life support – your Daily Bread. He does not want any counterfeits or anything that would try and take His place. He is a jealous lover and He desires to be your One and Only.
I see a vision of a person looking at photographs that are framed and hanging on the walls of a hallway in their home. I sense that they are looking back to happier times with nostalgia and longing. I feel God is saying that He desires to bring some of us from the past into the present, and He wants us to know that He has given us a bright future and a hope, and the joy He longs to give us in our present and future is even greater than the joy we had in our past. He has wonderful things in store for each one of us. He does not want us to eat stale bread, no; He has fresh baked bread that He has just taken out of the oven for us. He longs for us to eat of the goodness that He has prepared for us, (He longs to be our Daily Bread) Psalm 34:8 “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good, blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” I also feel the fresh bread represents the untold blessings He desires to give us (the fulfillment of His promises to us).
Just as a Chef would do when they have spent hours preparing a feast, I sense that God desires us to taste of what He has prepared – He is watching and waiting for us to take our first “bite” and it is very important to Him that we like what He has prepared. As I write these words I sense that we do not seem to realize that He has prepared a feast in our honor - the very things He has prepared for us are not getting “eaten” – they are not being enjoyed by us. His promises are so close that we could reach out and touch them (our deepest heart’s desires and answers to our prayers), but we don’t seem to realize it. I sense that He desires us to press into Him – victory awaits us and is very close by, and the answer is simple – we need to eat our Daily Bread – we need to get into His Word, spend time in His presence – worship Him – ABIDE IN HIM, and give Him pre-eminence and dominion in our lives, (we need to make Him first priority), and then we will obtain the “Prize.” Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
“Run the race of endurance that I have set before you – the Prize is just up ahead. I know you have been running and running for a very long time and I know how weary you are. At times you have wondered if you would ever finish the race and see My promises fulfilled in your life, but know that an end is in sight. Delayed blessings test your faith, and I know how painful these delays have been for you. Continue to trust Me in spite of what you see, feel and hear. I AM waiting for you at the finish line – run to meet Me – I will be waiting for you with open arms and I will refresh and revive you and I will feed you and clothe you. The Prize will be well worth every single thing you have had to endure. I give good gifts to My children and I promise that you will love all that I have prepared for you. Good things come to those who wait, and as you wait upon Me, not only will your strength be renewed, but you will receive those good gifts that you deeply desire, but have not yet seen.
I love you with an everlasting love that will never tire, tarnish, or fade. I know the number of hairs on your head. I know everything about you and I AM with you wherever you go – I have never left your side, not even for one moment. Even during your darkest times when you felt all alone, you were never really alone, for I was there with you, holding you, protecting you, and watching over you.
If you let Me I will use you more mightily in your latter days than in your former - I have much work for you to do - I will use you to set the captives free. Everything you have gone through has been preparing and equipping you for what lies ahead. Trust Me as no other, for I am your strength and I am your cover. The two of us will walk hand in hand and the two of us will enter My Promised Land. Don’t look left and don’t look right, but keep your eyes on Me, and I will turn what was darkness into My marvelous light. Lean upon Me and depend upon Me, and I will see you safely through to the other side where your harvest awaits you.
Remember, I love you with an everlasting love. Nothing you could ever do could change the way I feel about you, or cause Me to stop loving you – I see you as pure and lovely in My sight. The enemy would have you believe lies about yourself, but whatever he is lying to you about - that is not who you are and that is not the way I see you - you are beautiful in My sight – absolutely beautiful! Know that an end is in sight – an end is in sight! Things will get easier - I am going to make your crooked paths straight and your rough paths smooth and I will turn what was darkness into My marvelous Light. Trust Me, and I will give you your heart’s desires. Your heart’s desires and My blessings for you will join up on the same path.”
As I type this Word and am getting ready to post it, He has suddenly given me the revelation that HE is the prize, and once we realize that HE is the prize, He will then be able to release to us the other things that we deeply desire! Thank You Lord! Please forgive us for not giving You the honor and Pre-eminence that You so richly deserve, and for looking elsewhere for our heart's desires to be fulfilled, when You were there all along - waiting for us to recognize that YOU are the Prize - the VERY BEST PRIZE we could ever hope to have!
Romans 12:19 NLT
Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.
1 Peter 2:9 NIV
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Matthew 7:11 NIV
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
Lamentations 3:25 NKJV
The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
Isaiah 42:16 NIV
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
