During a time of prayer, The Lord gave me a revelation of this season. It is so exciting and
such good news for the body of Christ.
I asked the Lord what was the word for the year. He gave me the words “elevate” and “evolution”. When looking up the definitions the word “develop” really stuck out to me. Here are the definitions:
ELEVATE = to move, raise up to a higher place/position/rank/office; exalt/promote, raise to a higher intellectual or spiritual level; to raise the spirits/put in high spirits; raise the voice in pitch or volume; become powerful, bring on the scene, erect, build, set up, establish, ordain, ratify, strengthen, succeed, to be fulfilled
EVOLUTION = process of formation or growth; development; a process of gradual, peaceful, progressive change/development
DEVELOP = to bring out the capabilities or possibilities of, bring to a more advanced/effective state; cause to grow/expand, to bring into being/activity; to bring a piece into effective play - especially during the initial phase of a game when pieces are moved from their original position on the board.
Not too long after, the Lord gave me a dream that bears chasing me and trying to fight me. Some were the standard size of bears and others were much larger having the posture and muscles of a human bodybuilder yet having the face of the bear - they were large. They only departed from me when I called on the name of Jesus. I woke up and immediately thought about how David fought bears. In David’s development, he fought bears and lions which prepared him to fight Goliath and be a mighty warrior.
In this season we will be taking the land! There is indeed a wealth transfer happening! Everything that the Lord has told you, you will begin to see come to pass in this season. As stated in Deuteronomy 7:22, He won't give everything to you all at once but He will give it to you little by little. We will see Sauls (people of importance) falling from high positions so the Lord will elevate His children as we continue to develop our skills and trust in & obey Him.
The warning that the Lord gave me is that there will be warfare (lions, bears, and giants) but God has already equipped us & prepared us for this. As we possess the land, we will begin to see new voices on the scene - just as in the definitions of the words “develop” and “elevate”.
But what is important here for us is the strategy for the season and what must be dealt with and addressed.
Increase & “perfect” our gifts, talents, and skills.
Just as David was skilled in his gifts, we must be also. He entered into spaces that were made accessible to him because he was very skilled.
Be strategic and skilled in spiritual warfare.
Establish your knowledge and skills in warfare. We will need it to take back/inherit the land God has given us.
Be strong and courageous - always depending on God.
This is not something we can do on our own. We need God’s Spirit and strength.
Be beautiful in spirit and in heart
Allow God to wash you clean & give you a new heart and spirit (see reference scriptures below)
Trust, depend on, fear, and obey the Lord
Establish a relationship with Him. Without Him all of this is impossible.
Allow God to deal with distractions and pride
We need focus and humility this season. Allow God to deal with you in this season.
Be patient and remember that you are anointed for this! Continue to allow our Lord to develop, purge, and elevate you. Work on your gifts daily. And always trust in the Lord and develop your unshakable relationship with Him!
