What Heaven is Saying Today
After being away for eight days on a ministry trip, it felt really good to be in the Presence of the Lord in our worship room this morning. I had an intense desire to get into His presence and hear a fresh word for today. I was soon face down and seeking to hear His voice. Then I began to hear Him say, “Rivers are flowing.” I didn’t fully grasp the meaning and waited to hear more, but He repeated these same three words several times. Because He repeated it several times, I understood that this was a reference to several things which will be coming from the Lord very soon.
In something like a pre-dawn vision, I saw what looked like a wall of water coming from right to left on a wide river. I immediately thought about rivers of judgment coming. However, this was not the word of the Lord for this season. I saw people standing in the shallow part of the river as the wall of water stood up behind them. Then I heard the Lord say, “This is a river of mercy.” I thought about one name of the Lord: “Adonai Elohim.” Adonai carries a meaning of mercy and Elohim often refers to the God of judgment. I was reminded that His judgment is preceded by mercy, and this is the time of mercy. I am praying for a harvest of souls for the Kingdom to be released today. I am praying for those positioned for judgment to experience the mercy of the Lord and to turn back to Him. I am asking the Lord of the Harvest to call many workers into service today. In this season, the intercessors are called once again to stand in the gap so the judgment will be restrained and the mercy will flow through. (Ezekiel 22:30)
Then I heard the Lord speak of rivers of living water which are flowing today. I thought about Revelation 7:17, “For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; he will lead them to springs of living water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Do you need some living water today? Have you been through a season of darkness praying for the dawning of the Day of the Lord? He has some good news for you today. Springs of living water are being released to you which will wash away your tears and restore your strength, energy, hope, faith and joy today. Have you been standing under the shadow of judgment and fearing condemnation? The Spirit of life is flowing like a river today. Romans 2:1-2, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.” Rivers are flowing and they are bringing good things from the Lord. Today is a good day to receive all that He is pouring out for you. The oil of joy is flowing like a river today. I pray that you will receive it and be completely restored by the Lord.
Then I heard the Lord say again, “Rivers are flowing,” and a new revelation came to me. My thoughts went to what Jesus said in John 7:37-38, “On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” The Lord is calling those who thirst to come to the river (See also Isaiah 55:1-3) and receive freely “the sure mercies of David.” The Lord wants those who love and obey Him to flow with living water. The dry season is over. This is the season of abundance. This is the season of restoration. This is the season to get back into the service of the Lord and let the living water flow through us to others in need of His mercy and grace. The Lord is calling us to let the river flow today. I pray that you will hear Him calling to you! I pray that you will be refreshed, renewed, and energized to flow with living water today and always! Amen and Amen!
