This powerful word came exactly three months ago, December 27, 2024. It warrants reposting.

1:00: “‘Take me to the cross.’ A song, a joy for all people. A symbol of renewal and refreshment, redemption and hope. My cross was not a thing of beauty. It was rough and soaked with the smell of blood – My Blood. The reality far from the symbol. Chaos and cruelty – to gold and purity. I make it so. My Blood stained it – and My Blood purifies.

“Come, come to the cross. Come for forgiveness and love, humbling and remembrance. Come to confess all your sin – and rejoice in the taking away – My redemption. Come to My ugliest moment – My Greatest Beauty. Come to the place where pride melts away – and Wonder rises. Come to the beginning of the perfection of YOU. I AM gentle. I AM kind. I AM your Savior – if you will only allow it.

“This is a NEW DAY. All will confront My cross. All will face it – and be demanded of an answer. There is no ignoring My Cross. It calls and beckons your ‘yes’ to My Gift of Redemption. It crushes your ‘no.’

“I come now to the earth in Glory and Wonder, My Spirit riding on the wind. My Spirit pours out, changing lives and hearts of those who pursue Me. My Spirit calls, ‘Hear Me. Heed Me – and LIVE.’”

“When you, My People, are confronted by My Harvest, remember My Cross. The newcomers will be stained and ugly, rough to your touch. I will make them a thing of beauty, new and shining, as I did you. Love them in their unrefined state – and bring them to Me. Watch Me work a miracle in their lives. Remember My Redeeming Love for you – and heap it on them. I came to change the world then – I come to change it now. ‘Your yes will be glorious. Your no will be costly. I bore the cost. Why should you refuse Me – and bear it yourself for eternity?’ Say this to My Harvest. Bring them to Me. And say ‘yes’ for yourself all over again, My People, for the cleansing and healing of your soul wounds and trauma. I paid for this too. Accept My Gift – and be made whole. Live in wonderment and Glory, and My Great POWER over your enemy. I defeated him for you – now go out and ENFORCE My victory. Your reward will be great. Your reward will be eternal. No time now to stand by and watch the show. YOU ARE THE SHOW. My Power pours through you. My Glory is seen through you. You are My hands and feet to My Harvest. Come and REAP with Me. Amen.”

Notes:

I did not know a song titled “Take Me to the Cross” so I searched it. A number of years back it was released by singer Al Denson. Lyrics here.

I John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

I Peter 2:24: He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

Isaiah 60:1-2: Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you, and His glory will appear upon you.

I John 5:4: For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.

I Corinthians 15:57: But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:37: In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

John 16:13-15: When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

Mark 4:26-29: And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know.The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

“I want to talk to you. I want to ask you a question. Why is it that all of mankind sees Me, yet so few perceive? Am I not startling in My creation? Do I not constantly provide? Do I not shake the ground, paint the skies, call babies forth from the womb? WHO AM I that I would be so ignored?

“Man has grown dull. His eyes see but do not see. His ears hear but do not hear. His mind is in constant agitation, churning to explain the world without GOD ALMIGHTY. I AM THE WORLD. Nothing exists without Me. ‘Rationality’ is not rational without Me. Nothing makes sense without the SENSE of ME. Without Me, there is no Purpose.

“Life is a cycle, yet I place an end goal to it.

“Come, let us reason together. Take off your pride, oh mankind. You seek to impress the ONE who created you. Do you not see the foolishness of this? Can you explain how you got one hair on your head? Can you shorten a day? Where were you when I created the Earth? When I created YOU?

“Your ‘rationality,’ your ‘logic’ on your very best day will not serve you in the coming days. For you will see things you cannot explain. You will be knocked off your feet, with nothing to support you. AND THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

“You who know Me, My beloved People, open your mouth and SPEAK. The stunned and fearful will need your answers of Me. They will seek the reason for your firmness, your lack of fear. They will seek Me and you. TESTIFY TO THEM. These are My Harvest, suddenly stripped of all they ‘know,’ all they have held as ‘sacred.’ The word makes no sense without Me.

“Look to yourselves, My People. Fortify yourself in Me NOW. Hold nothing back from Me. Empty yourself out before Me – and I will fill you with all the Faith you will need. I WILL have My Harvest. They must see Me at work. If they have yet not perceived Me in all I DO and AM, will they not require a shaking to wake them from their stupor? They will seek shelter in the storm. Lead them to Me. Strengthen yourself now – so you can be a support to them. KNOW your God, and TELL them.

“If you knew a storm was coming, what would you do to prepare? Would you not fortify? Strap down against wind? Fortify your soul. Come to ME. Rest in ME. Seek Me with your all. And be My help to those who are blown and tossed. Be Shelter. Speak Truth. Bring in My Harvest.

“A STORM IS COMING.”

Notes:

Psalm 29:8-9: The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness…The voice of the Lord makes the deer to calve and strips the forests bare; And in His temple everything says, “Glory!”

Mark 8:17-18: And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember…?

Jeremiah 5:21: Hear this now, O foolish people, without understanding, who have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not.

Isaiah 1:18: “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.”

Ezekiel 38:23: So I will prove Myself great, show Myself holy, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the LORD.”’

Psalm 66:16: Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

Hebrews 12:25-29:  See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking. For if those did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape who turn away from Him who warns from heaven. And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heaven.” This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.

Isaiah 4:6: There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.

Psalm 9:9-10: The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble; And those who know Your name will put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

Matthew 9:37-38: Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

The Lord spoke this word to me on March 28, 2024:

“Refreshing, refreshing, refreshing. The rain of refreshing. The reign of refreshing.”

I asked Him, “What is the reign of refreshing?”

“It is synchronicity.”

A puzzling answer. After meditating on it, I realized the Lord hadn’t answered my question but had provided further information. He was telling me that the rain and the reign of His refreshing would happen at the same time. I received no further revelation about this word at that time and knew I was to steward it until the Lord revealed more.

Yesterday the Lord revealed His meaning.

The following is an excerpt from Pastor Tim Sheets’ sermon yesterday at Oasis Church, Ohio. In this final part of his prophetic sermon, Tim spoke a word that the Lord gave him four years ago–but told him to hold it until the right time. That time is now. First, Tim spoke words from the Lord regarding a new movement of His Spirit that would gather all of His past spiritual movements together and add to them–the “latter rains.” Then Tim added this word that God had told him to hold for four years:
—

“The rains of heaven stored in clouds of glory will now begin to fall, soaking My remnant in strengthening joy and soaking them in revelation of My authority to reign in my name. Soaking them in fresh oil from vats preserved for the latter rain movement. Anointing vats are filled with blended oils from previous movements and with new oils. This anointing oil will stir great boldness, and it will stir fresh fire in the soul of My ekklesia. It will soak them in living hope and expectation of new days. It will soak them in Holy Spirit gifts and fruits. It will soak them in enlightenment to understand that Holy Spirit’s most supernatural era is the enemies of My Kingdom’s reversal era.

“Great reversals of hell’s power will be seen. Reversals to hell strategies has now begun and will accelerate quickly through the United States, and will cause demonic reversals in nation after nation to be seen as My ekklesia’s voice of truth rises, shattering protective barriers, shattering protective coverups, and scattering the purveyors of evil. It will be said in this era, ‘Oh, how the mighty have fallen!’ Amen.

“Understand, says the Lord, the voice of My ekklesia must rise, proclaiming My truth as they ride Spirit river. Proclaiming My words, proclaiming My ways, proclaiming WHO I AM, proclaiming Father’s heart. The proclaiming will accelerate the reversals I’ve planned, for new levels of reigning with Me require new level of proclamation through you, ekklesia. Rise in this reversal era of darkness that heaven has planned against your enemies, and proclaim the light of My word. And you will see the table-turning era has begun. And you will see a table spread before you in the presence of your enemies, for the ruling, reigning era of My remnant, soaked in vats of blended anointing, has begun, says the Lord. The signs, wonders, and miracles, and great release of healings era has begun. The era of overpowering power has begun. The harvest era has begun. Raise your voices as trumpets, proclaiming liberty to the captives, recoveries to those bound, reversals to hell’s pain inflicted into lost humanity. Move forward, ekklesia, move NOW, ekklesia, into the era of My true church, representing My Kingdom’s government in the earth realm as originally intended. Forbid the inroads of hell, as the King has commanded. Loose the ways of heaven without compromise, as the King has commanded. It is the era to disciple nations, as the King has commanded.

“This is the era of Holy Spirit’s flow into the earth as a great and rushing mighty river, a spiritual river deeper than has ever been seen, says the Lord, in the earth realm. Not a trickle seeping out of the sanctuaries, not knee deep, not waist deep. No. Live-giving Spirit rivers too big to swim across will give life, health, productivity, fruit everywhere it flows. For this is an era when the spiritual river of God flows in depths and in rapids through the earth as Holy Spirit’s rains fill it to rush into the earth with life-giving flows of water.

“The King says to His ekklesia, ‘Drink deep, drink deep, ekklesia. Revive weary ones. Be refreshed. Remnant warriors, move with the river of God–and life, vitality, and harvest will replace barren deserts in territories, regions, and nations. Life will replace deadness in prodigals. Life will spring forth to those dead in trespasses and in sin. Rise Holy Spirit’s river. Ride the river of God. Ride life river into all the earth. Drink all that you need. Drink as you need and move with Holy Spirit’s rivers of power in this supernatural era. Receive the soaking of fresh vats of oil prepared for this mega Pentecost. Receive anointing to decree My will into all the earth. Receive from the vats of anointing oil prepared for this moment as Holy Spirit pours them fresh upon you. I decree in the name of King Jesus NOW to this word. He said prophesy NOW to it.”
—

Amen! I’m reminded of the beginning of the word God spoke to me on January 22, 2024: “Do not think their end is in sight. The evil will be with you forever on earth. It’s not that they will cease to exist. They will simply have no power over you.

“I speak of days ahead, when My Church walks in My Holiness and Power, unencumbered by the wiles of Satan. He is a conquered foe. He has no power but what man gives him. My risen Ekklesia, walking as I have always called them to walk, will not be tempted by him, nor deceived. He will be quickly vanquished by their command…”

In the RAIN of His refreshing, God’s ekklesia shall REIGN!

Tim Sheets’ sermon on YouTube: https://youtu.be/oDHSmy-4eno?si=0c5UuiG0hEqaWD7d

John 7:37: Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink!”

Hosea 6:3: Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

James 5:7: Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.

Hosea 10:12: Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.

Ezekiel 47:1-6: Then he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. He brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate by way of the gate that faces east. And behold, water was trickling from the south side. When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the loins. Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not ford, for the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a river that could not be forded. He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” 

1:07: “Show Me what Kindness is, and I will show you the Lord.

“My People overlook Kindness. It does not lead the list of My Fruit of the Spirit, as Love does. Nor does it fill a place often hard to achieve, as does Patience. All of My People seek Joy. But what is Kindness?

“Kindness is serving at its best.

“Kindness comes from Paying Attention to what is important to others. Therefore it requires a looking outward, a focus on others rather than on oneself. Kindness takes the time to speak a compliment when none is expected. Kindness picks up and returns a part to a toy that a child you do not know has unknowingly dropped. Kindness listens attentively even when the conversation seems unimportant to you. Kindness seeks out what would give someone an unexpected pleasure – and gives it. Kindness helps another work when one’s own rest would be preferred. Kindness always goes the extra mile. Fills in gaps. Seeks to delight. Meets a need. Kindness is unassuming. Rolls off easily and without second thought, for it is embedded in one’s nature.

“Ask Me for Kindness – and I will build it within you. Pay attention to My acts of Kindness toward YOU – and thank Me for them.

“BE KIND as I AM KIND. Amen.”

Notes:

Galatians 5:22-23: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Ephesians 4:32: Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Proverbs 12:25: Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up.

Colossians 3:12: Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Romans 2:4: Or do you show contempt for the riches of His kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

Proverbs 11:17: A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.

1:26: “For the sake of others, seek My Face. Why ‘others,’ you ask. ‘Is it not for the good of ourselves?’

“Yes, it is. And for others. Those who seek My Face become Servants. My Servants Love. My Servants Give. How does one serve me? By SERVING OTHERS. The world, even creation itself, will be made whole through the works of My Servants. My Spirit within you enlarges your heart to seek My Will – and My Will is always the service of oneself for others.

“My Son, Jesus, came to earth to serve all mankind – even to the giving of His Life. You have the best of models. Now He seeks to model you to do the same. You were MADE to Love and Serve. Such is the common destiny of all. Pride, then, stands in the way of this destiny, for it seeks only the benefit of oneself. Pride does not Love. Love conquers pride.

“What does it mean to ‘seek My Face?’ What would you find there?

“To seek My Face is to seek My Will for you – which always is for Love. What you find in My Face is an essence so Pure, so full of LOVE, that all else falls away. I long for deep relationship with you. My Face radiates this longing. All pride, all greed burns away at the sight of My Face. Sins rise as abhorrent. Purity shines, beckoning and guiding. YOU CANNOT SEEK MY FACE AMID THE CARES AND DISTRACTIONS OF THE WORLD. You must spend time with Me. You must come to the Quiet, the Secret Place of meeting with Me. Even Moses, My leader of Israel, sought My Face in the midst of the desert by coming alone into the Tent of Meeting. There I met him, covering him with My Glory and Power – to enable him to lead My People. When you seek My Face, you too will be empowered to fulfill your destiny before Me. ONLY in My Face lies your destiny. The world would snatch it away from you.

“For the sake of others – and yourself – SEEK ME. There is no substitute to spending time with Me. Does the current season in your life require all your time? I CREATED TIME. I can MULTIPLY YOUR TIME. Ask Me for this. Just as I provide the necessities of Life for you, so can I provide you with Time if you will only ask Me. And I can multiply the effect of a little time. Seeking My Face means making Me Your Priority. WHERE does your priority lie?

“SEEK MY FACE. MY FACE is your LIFE. Amen.”

Then Moses would return to the camp…

II Peter 3:8: But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.
