I dont think the way you think. The way you work isnt the way I work. Gods Decree. For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think. Just as rain and snow descend from the skies and dont go back until theyve watered the earth, doing their work of making things grow and blossom, producing seed for farmers and food for the hungry, so will the words that come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. Theyll do the work I sent them to do, theyll complete the assignment I gave them.
ISAIAH 55:8-11 MSG
Something amazing and very strategic has been happening in the Body of Christ. It actually began decades ago but it is now accelerating exponentially. Its been under the radar of much of the Body of Christ, but a listening remnant is hearing it. A tremendous move of Christs Kingdom is beginning on the earth. Something huge is taking place. Long awaited promises, cries of the heart, are beginning to happen in our times. The greatest days in church history are not in our past; they are in our present and in our future.
The prophets are describing it as a new era. The word era means a new period of history. New years begin that are different from past years. It is a clear new period of times on the earth. Something is beginning that is going to be unlike anything we have experienced in the past. It is not vague; it is not blurry; it is clear. A magnificent new era is now due to activate in Christs Kingdom. It is potent with the Holy Spirit power, waiting for the saints to engage.
Our world has entered a defining moment. It is a tipping-point moment wherein we reap what we have sown. Iniquity, sin, and rebellion of a generation have begun to manifest in ways we thought would never be seen such as abortion, gender confusion, humanistic values, and immorality.
Tipping-point moments or defining moments are decided by who defines the moment. King Jesus has called His ekklesia, His ruling and reigning Body, His governing intercessors to rise up and define this moment. We have been prepared and He expects us to do it. We have been prepared by the prayers of millions of intercessors crying out to God, by the awesome Holy Spirit who is our Teacher and our Empowerer. We have been prepared by the revelation of the apostles and prophets. We have been prepared by prophetic dreams as well as the activation and assistance of angel armies under the Holy Spirits supervision. We have been prepared by thousands of prophetic words, visions, signs, and wonders. We can do this.
Isaiah 55 is a prophetic word given by God through Isaiah the prophet. It is important to understand that this is a prophetic word. Please note the wording God uses in verse 11: [Prophetic words will] do the work I send them to do, theyll complete the assignment I gave them (MSG). Prophetic words have assignments. For example, Mary, the mother of Jesus, asked the angel Gabriel, How can I have a son by immaculate conception? How is that possible? Amazingly, Gabriel actually quoted to her a prophecy that is recorded in Isaiah 7:14: The virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel (NKJV). Clearly, angels pay attention to prophetic words and their assignments.
Then Gabriel said to Mary, With God nothing is impossible (see Luke 1:37). The word nothing does not mean zero. He does not say, Not one thing is impossible with God. We could make a case for that, but that isnt what He says. The angel Gabriel uses the Greek word rhemano rhema is impossible with God. It means a word that God speaks fresh to us. Its like a prophetic word to us. Its a personalized word. It is a word of promise that the Holy Spirit breathes fresh anointing on, causing that word to come alive and you know it is His Word. It is a word He is speaking directly to me.
