This word from the Lord came on August 25, 2026.

“I require your Holiness. I require your Holiness in Me. It MUST be in Me. For there is no Holiness without the Great I AM.

“How do you remain Holy? By allowing Me to purify you daily. By presenting every part, every piece, of your life upon My altar and asking Me to refine it – to take away those things that do not please Me and to refine and purify those things that I will give back to you. These include your thoughts, your words, and your deeds. These include your dreams of your future. I plan your future. Your only dream of your future should be of the future I have given you. Therefore look to Me for My plans for you. Do NOT plan your future based on your own earthly desires, your rationally-minded expectations. This world is tainted. The world will taint you and your desires for your future. MY plans for your future are far greater than your own plans could ever be. For I see the end of you. I see what I created you to be. Strong and resilient and miracle-working through My Power. I see you living and being in a way you would not imagine.

“Would you really choose your plans for the future over Mine?

“I compel you, I call you to take a hard look at your plans and expectations for your future. Are these directly from Me? Come, lay all thoughts of your future upon My altar. Lay them down before Me and leave them there. I shall replace your thoughts with My thoughts. And I will say to you – THERE IS NO COMPARISON. To believe that you know more than I is foolishness indeed. To believe that you know more than I is a clear sign of how the world has tainted you, yes even you, My People, who know Me. It is one thing to know Me. It is another to give Me Kingship over every bit of your life – daily. This is the Holiness to which I call you. Come to Me for help in this. REST in Me. REST is your one and only key to this. For you shall never strive your way into My Holiness. Only through your moment-to-moment intimacy with Me, your REST in Me, will you achieve.

“Spoken by the Lord your God, who sees greatness in you, power and miraculous workings in you, more you could ever dream. Amen.”

This word was received August 24, 2026:

“I AM going to reward you for this. I will reward My People, My ekklesia, for the works they do for Me in this time. You will be known in heaven as those who lived in this time. The time of My Great Turning. Those who lived to hear Me roar over the earth and sweep over the nations with My Power. Yes, your reward for your faithfulness and your fortitude will be great. For what I ask of you will be great. The bringing of My Harvest to Me, and the nurturing of such Harvest, is not an easy task. It requires of you great Love, great Patience. A great desire and hunger to hear My Voice over all else, and speak and do only as I lead you to do so.

“These unending days are about to end. My cry over the earth will be sudden. A shaking, a tremor, not yet known to man. Those who scoff at Me, those who scoff at you, My People, in unbelief of My words to you – these will scoff no more. They will see and know the Truth. They then face the biggest choice of their lives – whether to say yes or no to Me. Yes transcends all circumstances and lays forth their eternity with Me. A no enslaves them forever. My ekklesia, love these unknowing of Me. Love them enough to go after them, to pull them into My Kingdom. For My desire is that none should be lost. And this is to be your desire also.

“Each day now is part of My roadmap. My roadmap to My Kingdom on earth. Each day is crucial. Each day you must ask Me – what do you, oh Lord God, have for me to accomplish for You this day? Your answers of yes to the tasks I have for you – these lay the map toward My desired destination for the earth. You truly have no idea. Even those of you who Love Me and keep your eyes on Me at all times. You cannot imagine what is coming for you. I tell you – all of heaven knows this is coming. And all in heaven seek it and speak of it, wondering when the time will come. They are praying for you. They are cheering you on. They, who know the Will of God, are already rejoicing from what they know will be. And so should you. For My words are True and Fast, established by My Will. And no man shall stop what I AM about to do.

“Long live the earth. MY EARTH. Earth restored, as I have always intended. Praise be to God the Father, God the Son, and Holy Spirit. The Great Three-In-One. For their Will and their Way Is irreversible and indestructible. As sure as the dawn. Amen.”

Notes:

Joel 3:16: The Lord roars from Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth tremble. But the Lord is a refuge for His people and a stronghold to the sons of Israel.

John 4:34-38: Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this case the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

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

I Chronicles 29:10-11: So David blessed the Lord in the sight of all the assembly; and David said, “Blessed are You, O Lord God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all.”

Psalm 93:1-2: The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.

Psalm 47:8-9: Sing praises to God, sing praises; Sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with a skillful psalm. God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne. The princes of the people have assembled themselves as the people of the God of Abraham, for the shields of the earth belong to God; He is highly exalted.

Isaiah 26:7-12: The way of the righteous is smooth; O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level. Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord, we have waited for You eagerly; Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls. At night my soul longs for You. Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. Though the wicked is shown favor, he does not learn righteousness; He deals unjustly in the land of uprightness, and does not perceive the majesty of the Lord. O Lord, Your hand is lifted up yet they do not see it. They see Your zeal for the people and are put to shame; Indeed, fire will devour Your enemies. Lord, You will establish peace for us, since You have also performed for us all our works.

Psalm 96:10-13: Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.” Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord, for He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

Psalm 98:1-2: O sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonderful things. His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him. The Lord has made known His salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.

I Chronicles 16:30-35: Tremble before Him, all the earth; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.” Let the sea roar, and all it contains; Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the Lord; For He is coming to judge the earth. O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Then say, “Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy name, and glory in Your praise.”

Isaiah 45:22-24: Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth;
For I am God, and there is no other. I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness and will not turn back,
that to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. They will say of Me, “Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.”
Men will come to Him, and all who were angry at Him will be put to shame.

Psalm 37:34: Wait for the Lord and keep His way, and He will exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

Psalm 33:10-11: The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

Isaiah 46:10: I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, “My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.”

“‘On bended knee.’ What does this mean, My People? Come, hear Me speak.

“Do knights not bend the knee to receive the touch of the sword that gives them their knighthood? Do people not bend their knees to pray to the Lord their God? Is it not a common motion to bend the knee to get down to the ground? Even to do such a menial task as dust low to the floor? Do people not bend their knees before a king?

“The act of bending the knee is one of reverence and servanthood. And yet in daily life it is one of simply needing to lower one’s own body. In a symbolic sense, the lowering of one’s own body speaks of humility and humbleness. Therein lies the common thread between the two meanings of bending the knee.

“It is not always easy to bend the knee. Some knees don’t want to bend for lack of strength. Or flexibility. Such knees are rebellious against performing the very act they were made to perform. In the same way, many people rebel against the Lord their God and will not bend their knee to Me in humbleness. Quite the contrary, they stand and defy Me, the Lord their God, creator and ruler over all. They think their locked, upright knees and cursing mouth can somehow make Me small. Oh yes, I laugh at this.

“In the days to come, I will reveal My Glory in such a way that will make people fall to their knees. Fall to their knees for lack of strength, a sudden draining of vitality. And fall to their knees in sudden recognition, in overwhelming revelation of WHO I AM. Bending the knee to the Lord your God shall indeed become common. Practiced. Respected. Loved, for it shall be seen as an act of reverence to Me once again.

“Isn’t it interesting that in sports the rebellion against the song of the nation of America would cause the players to bend their knee instead of stand. Such an overt example of satan’s twisting. As if your enemy could steal the very position of kneeling from Me and turn it into an act of defiance.

“It is a simple thing to do before Me, the Lord your God, to bend the knee. And yet so full of meaning. For those of you, My People, who due to medical issues with your knees, cannot bend – do you think it My will for you to be this way? Do you think I created you to have weakened, ineffective knees? Are you not My Sons and Daughters, children and servants of the King? Do you not carry the Power of My Son’s Blood? Therefore, command your knees to improve in their flexibility. Command their healing and do not give up. Command in Faith. Do you want to be able to kneel before Your Maker? Yet you feel helpless that you cannot do so? Am I a helpless and hopeless God? Meditate on these things. And act – and believe – accordingly.

“Spoken by the Lord your God, who created you to kneel before Me. Amen.”

Notes:

I find the end of this word challenging. I think of people having real medical issues that cause them not to kneel. Some may be in a wheelchair. Yet I do hear God calling out to His people to raise our sights from our habitual acceptance of our body’s weaknesses. What would happen if we began standing in faith against it?

I do have my own story about healed knees. For 19 years I didn’t kneel due to damage in my knees after Lyme disease. If I tried to kneel, I would really pay for it. This was the one lingering issue after the Lord granted me a miraculous healing from the crippling of Lyme in 2002. And it was an odd thing. My legs were strong in every other way. I jogged regularly all those years. But–no kneeling.

In late 2020, the Lord began speaking to me about healing for my knees, and also for my back, which had bothered me for a number of years. I began standing in faith, declaring their complete healing. I saw no change, but I kept at it. After nine months, the Lord woke me up one night in 2021 and asked me to kneel beside the bed. I assumed He wanted me to pray for someone in need at that moment–and not fall asleep in the midst of it. I immediately obeyed, but said to Him, “Lord, you know I can’t really kneel, so I’m just assuming You’re going to make this work for me while I pray.” I knelt with my arms on the bed and waited for His leading to pray. Nothing came. I waited for about five minutes. Then I felt His release to get up. I did so and started for the bathroom, wondering why He’d gotten me up, then gone quiet. Suddenly I realized–my knees were working normally! No pain for having knelt that long. According to the last 19 years, I should have had difficulty just standing up. The Lord had healed my knees! Rather sneakily, actually. But I realized something. He’d called me to an act of faith. And that act released His healing. That was five years ago. I’ve never had trouble since. I can kneel all the way down, my knees at the utmost bending. And how I’ve loved being able to kneel in prayer since then.

After that night, I kept declaring the healing of my back. I went to a great chiropractor, did regular back exercises–but no improvement. Then in 2024, through a minor procedure I’d not even been aware of, my back was healed. Praise God! Sometimes God heals miraculously. Sometimes He heals through doctors. Either way, He is a God of healing.

When He arrived at the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and began to pray.

Psalm 103:1-3: Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; Who pardons all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases…

Psalm 41:3: The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.

“I AM ever in your Power. Yes, I AM in your Power – for I AM your Power. My People live and breathe and war in Me. Your Victory lies in Me and only Me, the Lord your God. Your Victory lies not in yourself. In your own earthly, rational thinking or beliefs. Your Victory lies in your spirit – a spirit created by Me to HEAR MY VOICE and My Voice alone. You were not created to hear and heed the voice of your enemy. You were not created to fall into deception by his mere flimsy, irrational lies. I created you in My perfection. Sin tainted you. Sin pulled down and weighted your soul and spirit. My shed Blood takes sin off of you – and raises you back into My Glory. In the heart of My Glory, you are able to hear My words to you. Outside of that Glory and Power, within your own earthly human strength, you are not free to hear My Voice. For you remain weighted by the sin and deception of the world.

“I came to free you. I shed My Perfect Blood to free you from your sin and self destruction, a destruction schemed and carried out in the mind of your enemy. For that is all he seeks to do – to destroy you. And all along the way, he speaks to you of how smart you are, how much you understand the world, how much you do not need Me, for you are the end in yourself, the all in all. Lies! Lies of destruction and eternity.

“I hear the smallest whisper turned toward Me. I hear the thirsting and hungry soul, weighted by sin, distraught with deception, who calls out to Me. I hear and I come. The Presence of the Lord of creation is yours, by your mere invitation.

“Those who do not know Me and reject Me to this moment – you stand with My Light on one side, and your enemy’s darkness on the other. Light or darkness – both in this world and for eternity. The choice remains yours. Stare into My eyes of Pure Love for you. Stare into the hate-filled eyes of your enemy. Is there really much of a choice here? Are you so blind?

“As my Word states, I come to set the prisoners free. Prisoners of soul, and spirit, and body. I AM Freedom. Your enemy is slavery and oppression, chains that bind forever. I come to unchain you – if you would only allow. I call to you. I call and call in My Mercy. For I formed you and created you for SO MUCH MORE. I created you for My Destiny for you. I can restore to you the Destiny you have refused to this point. I can supernaturally make up for lost time. Is your enemy right now whispering in your ear that it is too late? IT IS NEVER TOO LATE, not as long as you breathe on this earth.

“I place before you Life and death. Choose Life. Choose Me. And soar with Me higher than you could ever dream. The choice is, and will always be, yours. Again I say to you – choose wisely.”
