What Heaven is Saying Today
What the Lord was showing me today will sound strange, but I have been assured that the right people will know exactly what it means. The Lord was speaking to me about a generational issue at work in the world today. An older generation is trying to pass the responsibility and accountability for their failures and mistakes on to the next generation. Weaknesses in the flesh are at the root of the generational issue. Instead of repenting and returning to the Lord, some people are trying to let their children bear their guilt and the judgment for it. However the Lord will not allow this. Deuteronomy 24:16, “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.” Children need to be set free from carrying this load. Parents need to repent and return rather than expect their children to suffer the consequences. We must not be like Hezekiah who only thought of himself in 2 Chronicles 20:19, “So Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the Lord which you have spoken is good!” For he said, “Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days?” There are things which need to be done today which will release the next generation from carrying the suffering for their parents.
Suddenly the Lord gave me a vision of a group of warriors on horseback trying to come home after the battle. They were tired, wounded and in need, but they had been stopped at a raging river during their journey home. Home was close, but the river was blocking them. I know that many of you are weary from spiritual battles and need a season of rest and refreshing. For many of you it seems that you just can’t make it to the place and time of your healing and restoration. I received a promise from the Lord this morning that your redemption draws nigh. Don’t give up! Do not despair! The Lord will bridge the gap. The Lord will make a way for you through every barrier. Now is the time to stand on faith and know that the Lord will soon bring deliverance from all your troubles. For a confirmation of this promise, I was led to John 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” We have the victory and we are overcomers in Yeshua ha Messiach! Amen?
Suddenly another vision opened for me. I saw large ships trying to land on a rugged coast. There were no docks and the ships had become trapped in the current which neither let them land nor turn around. Perhaps you are feeling stuck today. Good news! The Lord is the master of getting you out of every storm and hazard blocking your destiny and purpose in the kingdom. Now is the time to stand strong in your faith and know that the Lord has a plan even if you can’t see it in the moment. I thought about Paul’s threatening circumstances in a storm when the Lord sent an angel to speak to Him about fulfilling his destiny (Acts 27:23-25). I thought about the time when he was under attack from a huge crowd. Acts 22:11, “But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome.” Neither the powerful storm you are experiencing nor the false accusations of unbelievers can stop you when the Lord is with you.
I am convinced the Lord wants to encourage each faithful follower today. As I thought about this with a thankful heart, I was reminded of His promise to be with us to the end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20, “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.” This promise is still with us. I pray that you will be encouraged and strengthened by the word of the Lord today! Amen and Amen!!!
