It's Time to Occupy the Land!
In a profound encounter the Spirit of God said to me, "It is time to go to the next new level!" I was instructed to prepare a remnant of Believers to position themselves to advance, proceeding to the next new level, to possess and occupy the land. I said, "Lord, I don't like the word 'remnant.' It seems too selective." He replied, "Don't misunderstand; this invitation of advancement is open to all who will obey. Gender or age make no difference. It is an issue of the heart." (All are called, but few will come!)
Awake from Slumber
Don't allow yourself to stagnate and become callous and cold. Now is the time to awake from slumber and rouse to reality (see Romans 13:11-14)! Arise and shine and push on to new heights (see Isaiah 60:1-5). The Spirit of Truth is desiring to release profound, awesome revelation for any who will seek to come higher. If you contend and earnestly seek, this can be a season where the eyes of your heart are flooded with revelatory light (see Ephesians 1:17-18). We must dig deeper into the Word of God to discover the ways of God.
"Therefore let us get past the elementary stage in the teachings about the Christ, advancing on to maturity and perfection and spiritual completeness, [doing this] without laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of teaching about washings (ritual purifications), the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. [These are all important matters in which you should have been proficient long ago.] And we will do this [that is, proceed to maturity], if God permits." (Hebrews 6:1-3 AMP)
It is time for the prophetic seers to go into the courts of Heaven, behind the veil, and acquire the divine plans and purposes of God. The Spirit of Truth stands ready to release the divine strategies and blueprints of Heaven. This is not a time to be vague and dim, but we must be bright and alert, clear and committed to advancing the King in His Kingdom. (Photo via Unsplash)
Divine Dissatisfaction is Producing a Holy Hunger!
The Spirit of God is fanning the flame of discontentment within the hearts of many. We can't remain satisfied and content with our lack of power and spiritual authority; a cry of desperation must burst forth: "Enough is enough!" Ask yourself this question: "Am I willing to pay the price to seek the Lord for promotion?" This will be a season of swift acceleration and advancement if we put God first.
We are instructed to seek the Lord while He is near (see Isaiah 55:6). We are reminded that we only find the Lord when we search with all our heart (see Jeremiah 29:12-13). If we make seeking Him and His Kingdom our top priority, He will take care of everything else (see Matthew 6:33).
There is a wonderful grace offered for us to advance in the times of adversity! The invitation is extended to all saints; however, by a lack of commitment, many will disqualify themselves. This is a time to be desperate for the revealed glory of God. One of the marks of these overcomers will be hunger and complete dissatisfaction with business as usual. This holy hunger will drive us to seek the Lord on a much more increased level.

Jesus states in Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." The AMPC version reveals, "...those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God)...shall be completely satisfied!"
It's time to remove all lids of limitations off and believe God for big things, being assured that He is able to do much more than we could ask or even think (see Ephesians 3:20-21).
Deep Calls to Deep
One way not to miss God's new thing, is to not think that it is already here. Yes, we are so thankful and grateful for all that God is doing, yet there is much more. The promise is that the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God's glory (see Numbers 14:21 and Habakkuk 2:14).
The Spirit of God is stirring our souls and awakening our hearts to seek deeper depths and higher heights. This is the time for you to go all out for Christ and the Kingdom of God. Don't hold back; surrender yourself entirely to the control and guidance of the Holy Spirit. This statement is so true: "Deep calls to deep" (Psalm 42:7).
"Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." (Isaiah 43:19)
This is a promise of transformational power being released, giving an unction to function—a roadway in the rugged wilderness and flowing, refreshing rivers in the dry, barren desert. Nothing is too hard for our God (see Job 42:2 and Genesis 18:14)! (Photo via Unsplash)
"You have heard [these things foretold], now you see this fulfillment. And will you not bear witness to it? I show you specified new things from this time forth, even hidden things [kept in reserve] which you have not known.
They are created now [called into being by the prophetic word], and not long ago; and before today you have never heard of them, lest you should say, 'Behold, I knew them!'"
(Isaiah 48:6-7 AMPC)

These new things are called into reality by the prophetic proclamation. They are decreed, and God brings them into reality.
We do not have time to delay, the Spirit of Truth is preparing a remnant to proceed to the next new level; we must advance and make progress (see Ephesians 5:14-15). In this next new level we will begin to grasp a higher, clearer insight into the majesty of the Master. Prepare to behold the living Lord Jesus in a much clearer way.
It is time to taste the hidden manna reserved for overcomers revealed in Revelation 2:17: "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."
I pray that 2019 will be filled with the overflowing favor of God upon you and your loved ones. Embrace the promises of God's new day. Expect to see God's mighty power!
