During the night of November 1, 2024, God woke me up to speak a word. I noted the time – 1:53. Just the evening before, I’d been studying the recounting in John 21 of the disciples hauling in a huge load of 153 fish. I’d heard from somewhere that the 153 stood for the number of sheep nations during the Kingdom Age. I had no way of verifying that and questioned God about it. And so that night He woke me up at just that time and said: “Fishers of men. 153 fish caught. Yes, My nations. My People.” In the early morning hours of December 18, He had more to say about this. I find it significant that the time He awoke me was 3:16. John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”

3:16: “Healing for the nations. I bring healing to the nations. Each nation has its own unique problems and sickness. This evil flows from the particular principality of spirit that oppresses it. Some nations will refuse My healing, even as My Spirit pours out. Most will radically change. As people’s hearts are drawn to Me, the evil spirits over their nations are weakened. My Glory will raise up the people, forcing the spirits to flee. Woe to the nations who do not turn to Me, for they will become even darker. The nations who rise in My Glory will shine brightly and be blessed. Their land will heal, the people shall heal. My Spirit will flow freely. As never before, you shall see the meaning of the promise from My Word – ‘blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.’

“My disciples fished all night but caught nothing. Everything in its time. My early promise to them was to make them ‘fishers of men.’ One word from My mouth at the Appointed Time – and in their weariness of soul and body they obeyed and cast their net where I directed. By earthly measure, the difference from casting from one side of their boat to another seemed slight, insignificant. It was not the change of earthly space that mattered. My WORD went forth, and the fish swarmed. Then they knew it was I who had SPOKEN. Their bulging catch was carefully counted – 153 fish. MY NATIONS. 153 nations shall swarm to My net of Salvation. In My Time and at My Word, the obedience of My People will bring in the Great Harvest. THAT TIME IS UPON YOU. As My Spirit moves and My Word goes forth, you, My People, must obey swiftly. I require your ALL. I require your infinite TRUST in My Word, even when My Commands seem needless and without meaning to you. I KNOW WHERE MY FISH ARE. I know what it will take to bring them into My net of Salvation. I work through YOU, My People. Your obedience will bring them in – great droves of them that will astound you.

“My disciples had given their all to follow Me. In those years I taught them, prepared them for what was to come. They had witnessed the agony of My death and the WONDER of My Resurrection. Because of their obedience and devotion to Me, when the moment came requiring them to obey a command that seemed insignificant, was beyond their understanding, they were prepared to push through their weariness and obey. Had they not, the fish would not have been caught. SO I REQUIRE OF YOU, MY PEOPLE. The time is here for the Great Catch of My Spirit. Heed My call, follow My precise direction – and BRING IN MY HARVEST. My nations SHALL BE SAVED. My nations SHALL BE HEALED. Amen.”

Notes:

II Chronicles 7:14: If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Psalm 33:12: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance.

John 21:2-11: Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will also come with you.” They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing. But when the day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. So Jesus said to them, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?” They answered Him, “No.” And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.” So they cast, and then they were not able to haul it in because of the great number of fish…So when they got out on the land, they saw a charcoal fire already laid and fish placed on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.” Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of large fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not torn.

Matthew 9:36-38: Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”
