“There is a word in your language – finality. What does this word mean to Me?
“The finality of events comes in My Timing. My Finality is incontrovertible. When I say this or that will stop, it will STOP. Finality to Me, however, is not the end, but rather the beginning. For as one thing, one season upon the earth, one appointed time of the Lord Most High, ends, I always have MORE. My MORE builds upon itself. Every end of a season brings a better season. You may look at this statement and say it is not so. For in your eyes many good things have come to an end, replaced by evil. Replaced by difficult times. But your Lord God is always looking ahead to the future I have planned for My People. Even the most difficult of times build upon themselves as a roadway for Me to bring in My next Promise. I lose nothing. I certainly never lose in a season of time. Difficult seasons lead people to cry out to Me. To seek the God who has always been there, but who may remain ‘unnecessary’ in their eyes in the good times. Who sends the good times? Do not all good things come from Me?
“There may be a recent or soon-to-come Finality in your life. An unexpected door closed. An unexpected change. Do not be in your words ‘rattled’ by this. This is the season in which I AM doing a New Thing, as My Word tells you. In bringing about a New Thing, I must bring Finality to others. To situations and comforts in your life – those things that you have become used to. To thrust you out into new frontiers for Me requires you to set your eyes completely ON Me. Perceived instability, unexpected change, in your life helps you look to Me. For My People who walk with Me daily will understand that I AM guiding them onto new paths.
“Think on this, My People. Remember this simple statement: Finality in My hands is an ending to one thing AND the beginning of a New Thing. Keep your eyes on Me and your future as I have ordained. You may be glad for the Finality of some things in your life. You may grieve others. In either circumstance, TRUST that I lead you forward to Glory. Always, forever, to My Glory. Thank Me for what I have taught you – for your new understanding and discernment that can now help you as you move forward with Me. Thank Me for your past, but do not dwell there. My FINALITY in your life is your FUTURE. TRUST Me in this. Amen.”

Notes:
Definition of incontrovertible: Not capable of being denied, challenged, or disputed; closed to questioning.
I find much comfort in this word. But in some ways I found it hard to understand. All prophetic words must agree with the Bible, so as always I went to the Bible for verification of what I heard the Lord say. After listing all the verses below, I am able to understand this word with better clarity: The Lord is saying no matter how a thing of finality enters the lives of His people, He will make a new beginning out of it. When the Lord declares something is done, it IS done according to His timing. When He plans to move His people into something new according to His destiny for us, he will orchestrate events as necessary. When something unexpected or tragic changes our lives and brings grief, He is able to work in our lives and bring goodness and glory out of it.

This is the plan devised against the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out against all the nations. For the Lord of hosts has planned, and who can frustrate it? And as for His stretched-out hand, who can turn it back?”
Jeremiah 29:10-14: “For thus says the Lord, ‘When seventy years have been completed for Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’
