As I read again the words God has given us on the 22nd of each month, this message from December 2024 stood out to me. It came at 12:15 a.m.:

“Where is the Grace? Where is the Grace I promised America? Where is the falling of My Spirit? ‘Why do you wait so long?’ people ask. ‘We need you NOW.’

“My Grace is always with you. My Spirit is always with you. What are you doing with them? Do not forget your present in looking to the future. Do not sit back awaiting Pentecost in your dead church – and meanwhile do nothing to stave the deadness.

“BE My Pentecost.

“Yes, My Spirit comes. My Glory comes in new measure. Yes, I will work wonders in your midst. That does not mean I’m doing nothing now. I’m preparing hearts to receive when My Spirit comes. I’m spreading a hunger for Me, a desire to pursue Me like never before. I need YOU, My People, to speak of what is to come. To teach that this is the DAY of My Glory. To spread Love and Joy, words of My Peace and healing. The promise of a glorious future is Glory, indeed. Pray for it, anticipate with longing. Look ahead – and WORK NOW. There is always work to be done. The promise of the future must not cause mere rest in the present. Fight in the spirit now. Stand against evil, rise up against Satan. STOP COMPLAINING and GET TO WORK. PRAISE Me. Lean into Me. Strengthen yourself in My Word. Learn how to hear Me – in all the different ways I speak. ASK Me to guide you – then LISTEN for the answer. Go after My Harvest. Speak of Me to them with Love. Forgive others and hold no offense – give it no shelter in your soul. Prepare yourself in such ways – and you will be ready to receive all the Glory I pour out on you. I do not choose to release more Glory and Blessing upon you than you can carry with honor toward Me. Profaning My Glory is costly.

“Pray to Me night and day to pour My Spirit out upon your family, your church, your state, your nation. My promise will come forth. Lives will be radically changed. YOUR life can be radically changed NOW – through your obedience to Me. Many have called out to Me these past years of hardship – and have been greatly blessed by My Spirit and favor. Be one of these. I have much to give you now. In the waiting – I never wait. I AM never still. If you only knew HOW MUCH I hold back from you because you are not prepared to carry and steward it well. BE My Glory by spreading it NOW. Look to the future, Serve in the present.

“All Glory and Honor to the King who sits on the throne, to the Lion of Judah who comes in Victory and Power. Amen.”

Notes:

I was intrigued by God’s use of “stave”–not a typical verb. I’d heard the phrase “stave off,” but that’s not what the Lord said, and its meaning wouldn’t fit His context. I looked up the definition of “stave” and found that as a verb it can mean “burst open or force a hole into something.” That certainly fits here.

Ezekiel 36:26-27: Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances.

Philippians 2:13: For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Acts 1:12-14, 2:1-4: Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem…When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying…These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer…When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

Psalm 84:11: For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord gives grace and glory; no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

Romans 9:23-24: And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.

“I would say to you, My People, take your stand and ready yourselves. For the greatest battle is just ahead of you. Your hearts shall soar with Me. You will greatly rejoice over what I have in store for your nation, oh America. My People, stake out the territory I have given you. Your family, your city, your church. Claim this territory for My Kingdom. Set up your banners, MY BANNERS, over your territory. Claim it for the Lord. Kick the devil out. Allow nothing of him to remain. Do you see evil within your territory? Declare it broken off by the Power of My Son’s Blood. You MUST take your stand. I require ALL My Army in this fight. Ask Me for discernment EVERY DAY. That old serpent, the devil, seeks to turn you astray, seeks to fool you with a voice that sounds like Mine. Only with My Discernment can you ferret out his lies. You MUST keep close to Me at this time. You must not let your guard down for a moment.

“At this time you celebrate and rejoice in My Son’s Death and Resurrection. By the shedding of His Blood, the Perfect Lamb, you are redeemed. By His Resurrection and Ascension to My heavenly throne, to sit at My Right Hand, you are now his co-heirs. You, also, move and live in His Power. You, also, have Authority over all the works of your enemy. You walk in VICTORY, for all things are beneath your feet. Do NOT insult Me or My Son in the face of His sacrifice for you by refusing to walk in the POWER that very sacrifice has afforded you. You lack nothing in the bringing down of your enemies. You do not lack Wisdom, Strength, Endurance, Love. For all of these things and so much more are yours through your inheritance through My Son. Do not profane your inheritance. Seek to speak only the words I put in your mouth. Are the words ‘I can’t’ from Me? Do these words agree with what My written word says to you? You can do all things through My Strength. You are My Children, My Mighty Army. I, the Lord God, am your Commander through My Son, Jesus. You fight for Victory by My Strength – OR you fall in defeat by your own lacking. The choice is yours. Choose wisely.

“All Power and Honor to My Risen Son, your Redemption and Atonement. Amen.”

Notes:

I John 4:1: Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Romans 12:2: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Galatians 1:4: [The Lord Jesus Christ] gave Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father…

Romans 16:20: The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet…

Colossians 1:9-13: …we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of  His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Romans 8:16-17: The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ— if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him. 

Ephesians 2:4-6:  But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus…

Luke 10:19: Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

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.”

1:59: “My Glory is coming. My Glory will fill the skies, the earth, the seas. My Glory is impenetrable, unbreakable, unending. No man can stop it. No man can fully comprehend it. Everyone who seeks My Glory can bathe in it. My Glory brings healing, deliverance, Freedom, JOY. My Glory cleanses the soul, washes mind and body. My Glory brings a great Power and Empowerment. Look to the disciples in the Book of Acts to see what My Glory can do. How instantly they were transformed, emboldened, renewed. Their focus became fixed on ME. Their hearts burned with desire only for Me, for My Kingdom. Miracles poured forth from them as they sought only to Live for Me and spread My Love to others. Their words became filled with Grace and Truth, as Peter displayed in his immediate sermon. They held nothing back from Me, and I held nothing back from them.

“Those willing will walk in such Glory – and more. For My word promises that the latter rain will be greater than the first – and I DO NOT LIE. Glory, full of Wonders and Miracles, shall bring in My harvest. My People shall reap, and reap, and REAP. For the time of fulfillment for many seeds sown will come to fruition.

“Can you handle My Glory? Do you seek it – and all the responsibility that comes with it? Great Glory and Revelation demands your all. Demands your utmost obedience and willingness to go where I send you, speak what I tell you to speak. Your lives will not be the same. My WORLD will not be the same.

“All who say Yes to these things – come to Me now in reverence. Come to Me for preparation. Humble yourselves and seek Me. Call to Heaven to rain down My Promised Glory. Do not stop your petitions. Seek Me expectantly. Ask for eyes to see the small beginnings, the embers that will require your tending to fan into flame.

“This remains My Promise to My creation – My Glory SHALL COVER the Earth as the waters cover the seas.

“Such great Revelation will demand your great Reverence. Remember and Ananias and Sapphira, who thought they could lie to Holy Spirit without consequence. The greater the Revelation, the Greater the Responsibility of the receiver. My Glory will leave no room for lies or pride. ‘Greater works shall you do,’ said Jesus to His disciples. Greater works shall you do once more in My Latter Rain.

“Come, My People, attend to My words, My invitation for YOUR BEST LIFE. The time has come. Already My Glory begins to fall. Walk in it. Joy and revel in Me. I have much to give you – beyond your imagination. DO NOT LET ANY SIN REMAIN UPON YOU. Come to Me in full repentance and you will be washed with My Blood. You will be ready to receive.

“To Him who sits on the Throne be All the Glory and Honor and Praise. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen.”

“Do not become too familiar with Me. Do not take Me lightly, without AWE. I carry Grace and Forgiveness. I also carry Judgment. ‘Too familiar’ means to forget My Power, the Majesty of Who I AM. Yes, I AM your Father God who loves you. I desire to gather My children to Myself, to sit in My lap and rest in Me. To fully Trust Me. You must also Revere Me. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Proper fear of Me positions you to properly Love Me.

“I AM about to make Myself known to you, to the world, in ways not yet seen. This will fill you with wonder and awe. Will cause all men to fall to their knees. My Love is wrapped up in My Wonder. I do everything out of Love. Even My judgment comes from Love – for I will judge the evildoers to save the humble and oppressed. I will lovingly gather those who call on My Name and set them aside as My Judgment passes by. I can pluck up one and leave the other in safety, protected by My Right Hand.

“Come to your ABBA Father, the one who gave you life, who placed you in your mother’s womb. How intricate a placement! How lovingly you were knit together. Rest in Me, Trust in Me as judgment arises on the Earth. I look for the Blood of My Son, the perfect Lamb. Those covered with My Son’s precious Blood I do not touch. Rest in Me as I remove the wicked from the Earth. As I make way for the great harvest of souls promised to My Son. My People have nothing to fear. Rest in Trust, lean on Trust. Come with your questions. I hold the keys to the ages. I AM your Father God, the Mighty One who IS Love. Give the Father all the Honor and Glory due His Name. Amen.”
