The Unsettling: When Heaven Invades Earth
Acts 3:19 MSG
“Now it’s time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus.”
Refreshing is coming…and taking territory will require a new level of praise! Heaven is disrupting the earth like the shifting of tectonic plates.
Paul and Silas are taken and beaten.
Then they are moved to a prison cell.
In fact, that were placed at the INNER CELL!
Acts 16:25-30 NKJV
“But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed. And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?””
Your praise forces heaven to invade.
Revelation 3:22 NKJV
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Hear the prophetic word of the Lord! The Lord says,
“I am about to shift this land. I am changing the landscape. I will turn back the tide of darkness for a season. I am calling my children back to me just as Ezra did when he rebuilt the altar, and the remnant came home. My people are to no longer operate as citizens of the systems of this world. I will empower them to be strangers and pilgrims. They will be my serpent and dove. In this season you will be challenged and threatened, but fear not for I will not only guard you, but I have already dispatched angels to surround you. You must fight against the lies of culture and the confusion that has settled on my inheritance. You must worship in the quiet moments and declare in the confused moments. I give you this promise! If you will walk in me and I in you will see fruit as never before seen. I have already begun to turn the impossible in your favor. This day I am quieting the voice of Nebuchadnezzar. These are those that only declare my name when I prove myself. These are those that praise me when it’s convenient. I am sending confusion to those that will not stand in wholeness of heart and spirit for me. I have destined you to walk out this season with My Armor, My Spirit and My Authority. WATCH HOW I MOVE. I have created a portal of my Glory over this house. Ask me today for a miracle and I will meet you where you stand! I will give you lands, dwelling places and territory. I have the deeds in my hand. Simply ask.”
