PROPHETIC WORD: It’s your Golden Hour! 🏆
“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”
2 Corinthians 9:15
This morning I awoke from a dream where I saw a computer tab that was opened and the words "build your package!" were on the screen.
The Lord brought me back to a word that He downloaded a couple weeks ago about something new arriving and it would be a packaged deal. One part will connect to another. A reward is coming and the Father has already placed the desire or promise in your heart. Now you must build what He's given.
In my dream, I then heard the words "a courteous spirit." After searching through Scripture, there’s one main verse that was highlighted in my spirit.
"Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous." — 1 Peter 3:8
Some of you are walking into a monumental time in your life, and this has been an extremely long journey to get to this point. God took you on the long route on purpose. Now He's given you a great blessing and tons of favor, but there are stipulations to this package. The reward is yours, but the base and everything added must be right. It all starts with a courteous spirit.
We live in a very self-loving, competitive world and courtesy is a forgotten virtue. A courteous spirit keeps us meek, humble, generous and compassionate.
Courtesy encourages us to celebrate others even when we feel hidden or forgotten.
Courtesy teaches us to be okay with allowing someone else to go first in traffic because we love our neighbors, even in the car.
A courteous spirit reminds us to guard our tongues against foul language to protect the innocent ears of those who might be listening.
We are called to be different from the culture and world. We are ambassadors and representatives of the King, and our speech is the outward expression of the inward condition of our hearts. If the love of Jesus dwells from within, our words should also reflect His nature.
"My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse" (Proverbs 8:7-8).
Your words and speech really do matter! Allow your mouth to only speak what is pure, holy, uplifting and righteous.
A courteous spirit also understands the excellency of wisdom and latches onto the Golden Rule: "Treat others as you want them to treat you..." (Matthew 7:12).
A courteous spirit is a heart posture that keeps Jesus at the center. He is the very Source of our existence.
Chivalry is not dead, and it's one of the most attractive qualities that a person can carry. Chivalry puts a high value on kindness, honor and respect. Jesus sets the standard. He teaches us to remain small so that He can be enormous.
A courteous spirit reflects a person who practices grace and humility in all areas of their life, and this cannot be faked. You're either loving and kind, or you're not.
When the word "courteous" is used in 1 Peter 3:8, it's speaking about relationships and is rendered "kind, friendly."
The Amplified Bible says this: "In summation, each and every one of you, individually and collectively, have compassion, sympathy, even empathy for one another, loving everyone as if they were your family; be compassionate and courteous."
I pray that the Holy Spirit pours His immeasurable grace on this word today because I feel such an urgency in the spirit to get this word delivered. What God is doing in your life is a packaged deal. One part will connect with another. The Father is "building your package" for a greater glory, and it all starts with a courteous spirit. Continue to carry the shield of faith and walk boldly into the future because you will reap a mighty harvest if you do not faint!
Other items to add to your package:
- Total dependence on God's Presence.
- A willingness to follow the Father’s directions exactly as He says.
- A yielded spirit. The Prize has already been earned. You just have to walk this out with glory and honor!
- Courage. Have remarkable courage.
- Obey God and not men (Acts 5:29)
- When everyone else counted you out, God never did! Be the best reflection of Him possible! You really can do all things through Christ who gives you strength! Never give up! We serve a God of the impossible!
Psalm 103, TPT (1-3, 5)
With my whole heart, with my whole life, and with my innermost being, I bow in wonder and love before you, the holy God! Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me?
You satisfy my every desire with good things. You’ve supercharged my life so that I soar again like a flying eagle in the sky!
ENCOURAGEMENT
IT'S YOUR GOLDEN HOUR -- SO SHINE!
Jesus has made you a Kingdom pioneer and He wants you to show others what it means to be set apart. He has made you different on purpose, so be the light! In this season, you will show others how it’s possible to chase after your dreams and live with honor and integrity!
Shine brightly!
God activates His power from within you to glow and shine amid the darkness for all to see. There is a beam of light that illuminates from your spirit to all the earth! You are a son or daughter of the Most High, and you must reflect His glory wherever you go! Sometimes we get to shine in extraordinary ways, but most of the time, we are a reflection of Christ in the ordinary, mundane moments in life.
Embrace it all! SHINE, SHINE, SHINE!
Matthew 5:14-16 is a prophetic declaration from Jesus Christ to you: "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
This is the year of the Lord's favor! The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord says, "RISE TO THE OCCASION!" The victory of Jesus dwells from within you, and you're a living manifestation of His power and glory! You are going to achieve and accomplish every single thing the Father has directed your way.
"...With my God, I can scale a wall" (Psalm 18:29).
Jesus told the disciples, "you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you" (Acts 1:8) and that same power lives within you right now!
All you have to do is pray and ask the Lord to make you aware of His Presence that already dwells from inside. Tap into the Resource already there! The Father is knocking as we speak. He is the Door and the answer to all your prayers.
Remember, Jesus calls you a friend (John 15:15), and He will never let go! You can always count on Him! He is dedicated to bringing you eternal joy and whispers secrets and desires to your heart. Jesus cares enough to get you straight; He simply says, "Walk before Me" (Genesis 17:1).
My love, you are a CHAMPION! The Lord continues to show me CHAMPION everywhere! Everything has led up to this moment. The Father is bringing everything full circle, and destiny is about to collide with your life, so get ready! It's coming fast! SWIFTLY! Do not look with your eyes, but stay locked in with a Heavenly perspective!
2 Corinthians 4:18 -- "So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord says it's time to SPROUT! Spring is a time of refreshment, newness, excitement, and abundant joy! Everything about you is brand new! There is about to be an EXPLOSION OF POWER that rains over your life in epic proportions!
Everything is leading up to this moment and it’s going to be BIG!!! MASSIVE!!!
The Father is rewarding your diligent efforts!
Diligent
: steady, earnest, and energetic effort
: devoted and painstaking work and application to accomplish an undertaking.
Psalm 18:20-24, 32-34, 50 MSG
God made my life complete
when I placed all the pieces before him.
When I got my act together,
he gave me a fresh start.
Now I’m alert to God’s ways;
I don’t take God for granted.
Every day I review the ways he works;
I try not to miss a trick.
I feel put back together,
and I’m watching my step.
God rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.
Is there any god like God?
Are we not at bedrock?
Is not this the God who armed me,
then aimed me in the right direction?
Now I run like a deer;
I’m king of the mountain.
He shows me how to fight;
I can bend a bronze bow!
That’s why I’m thanking you, God,
all over the world.
That’s why I’m singing songs
that rhyme your name.
God’s king takes the trophy;
God’s chosen is beloved.
THE IMPORTANCE OF WORDS
Okay, the Lord is bringing me back to the importance of speech! He highlighted the Greek word aischrologia, which is rendered in English as "filthy speech, foul language, obscene speech." The Lord is not playing when it comes to His elect. God is saying to someone — guard your mouth! Be different from your environment. Set a standard. Choose to walk uprightly and set an example.
Paul writes in Colossians 3:8 -- "You must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips."
If the Lord has stamped you as His beloved child, He expects you to reflect His spirit as best possible. None of us are perfect; we can’t always control circumstances, but we can control our tongues. If you struggle with cursing, ask the Holy Spirit to help you with this matter. Remember: we are only given so much time and words to positively influence the world around us. Our speech and actions must reflect our spiritual maturity. People are watching and listening. Be different! We all sin and fall short of the glory of God, but once made aware, it’s our duty to correct the issue with the Father.
Ephesians 4:29 says, “Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.”
God gave you a platform for a reason, so be the best example you can be. Kings speak a kingly language.
On the flip side -- also speak boldly and confidently when it comes to Jesus Christ! Peter and John didn't care who opposed the message they brought forth. They knew Jesus was resurrected, and the early church swelled rapidly because of their desire to speak the Truth.
Even the religious leaders "were astonished as they witnessed the bold courage of Peter and John, especially when they discovered that they were just ordinary men who had never had religious training. Then they began understanding Jesus's effect on them simply by spending time with him." (Acts 4:13)
The council members wanted to stop the "Jesus" propaganda from continuing, especially publicly, but thousands of people believed because the Holy Spirit had launched a movement! Something miraculous was taking place, and everyone could see the power of the Holy Spirit working through Peter and John.
My friend: watch what happens when you start to speak Christ in public! It’s one thing to proclaim God, but the name of Jesus causes demons to tremble! The enemy is not scared of "secret" Christians. They fear God’s sons and daughters speaking the Good News without fear!
The Bible says Peter and John had "unrestrained boldness!" They were just regular guys who didn't go to seminary school but were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit! This proves how words and language can significantly influence and impact the world! Are you going to use your words for a greater good or to fit in with the culture?
Acts 4:18-20
"What should we do with these men? Everyone in Jerusalem can clearly see that they've performed a notable sign and wonder—we can't deny that. But to keep this propaganda from spreading any further among the people, let's threaten them severely and warn them to never speak to anyone in this name again."
So they had [Peter and John] brought back in before the council, and they commanded them to never teach the people or speak again using the name of Jesus. But Peter and John replied, "You can judge for yourselves—is it better to listen to you or to God? It's impossible for us to stop speaking about all the things we've seen and heard!"
The Lord is highlighting the importance of language and words in this season because the stage is set for someone, and the Lord wants to make sure He gets all the glory for your story.
In Christ's letter to Laodicea, He warned of lukewarmness and said to repent and return to a place of being passionate about Jesus.
Revelation 3:18-22 says…
“All those I dearly love I unmask and train. So repent and be eager to pursue what is right. Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking. If your heart is open to hear my voice and you open the door within, I will come in to you and feast with you, and you will feast with me. And to the one who conquers I will give the privilege of sitting with me on my throne, just as I conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.” (Rev. 3:18-22).
Romans 12:2 — “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
"Run in such a way that you may win it…" (1 Cor. 9:24)
God's love is about to overflow from every crevice of your life. His love never runs dry. How do you know that God's love has taken hold of you? You exhibit extravagant love towards your Father and others. You have also learned how to receive the Father's love in new ways.
The fruit of the Spirit is bursting alive thanks to the goodness and mercy of King Jesus. Remember, "to live is Christ and to die is gain" (Phil. 1:21)! Some of you have experienced a significant glow-up during these last few months in preparation for something magnificent up ahead! Keep your eyes focused on the King and prepare to launch forward with great speed and majesty! God is coming for His children, and everything is about to make sense!
This is the year of the Lord's favor. Jesus loves to rebuild broken lives and He wants you to be spiritually prosperous.
You can rest assured that God is merciful and just and rewards His children for undue suffering. The Messiah wants to bless you and pour abundant joy, healing, peace and comfort into your life. We can do nothing to earn these gifts; they are accessible to all who ask. Jesus loves you very much and will do everything He promised.
So many of you are entering an entirely new era in your spiritual walk, and you've been elevated in the spirit! You really do have a brand new lease on life! The phrase means a fresh start, renewed vigor, a strong sense of purpose, restored health, and a time when you become more energetic and active than before.
JESUS HAS RISEN! He is our King and worthy of all the honor, glory and praise. As His child, you are guaranteed an inheritance stamped with VICTORY! God's love has no boundaries, and He can do immeasurably more than you can ask, think or imagine! We are entering a period where the supernatural will become a very ordinary experience. We are in a TURNAROUND SEASON. Heaven is open! Something has shifted in the spirit, and significant change is here!
The enemy has been defeated. Your time of testing, purification and refining is over. Congratulations, graduate! Life is about to get really FUN!
Remember – this is VICTORY SEASON!
If we only see Easter as a sad reflection of Christ on the Cross, we miss it. We must see the victory! Jesus ROSE, and He won. Period. End of story. And since you are His child, you also won!
Timing belongs to the Lord, and I am confident many of you are walking into a season where mourning turns to joy! Like Jesus, you will rise from the ashes because He's recreated you in His image, and you were made to be a light to this world! Jesus already paid the price and His grace saturates every single part of your life. You are a champion because the Champion Defender goes before you, behind you and with you. You are hemmed in with the Father, and He absolutely ADORES you. This is a MAJOR turning point in your life! It’s your GOLDEN HOUR!!! It’s acceleration time! Get ready for things to speed up! It’s SHOWTIME!
