Today the Lord was speaking to me about 2018 and the restoration of a season of trials many have been through, so as I usually do, I entered it into my phone notes but auto correct kept turning the word “trials” into “trails”. I had a laugh realizing this was no technical fault; God was trying to get my attention.
See, this speaks volumes to me because 2017 has been a year of warring for the promise, pruning, purifying, and preparation for many. Many have felt at the end of themselves when ironically “at the end” is the perfect place God works best to INCREASE and PROMOTE you. In the emptying, in the fire, is where you end, and He begins, and I feel such an expectancy on what lays ahead of those that said yes to the process.
Yes the shifting and shaking has been intense. Yes the warfare has been more than you could bare. You have spent more days and nights curled in a heap at His feet than any other time, but can you see the beauty beginning to unravel before you? Can you sense the dawning of a new day approaching?
Your clothes are stained with tears and blood from the trenches but new HOPE is serenading your exodus from the dark night season you began to be accustomed to in your transition. You are not the same person you were before, and now the Holy Spirit is calling you to keep adjusting your eyes to where He is taking you.
