This short word came at 3:13 a.m. on December 3. I have held it, wondering if the Lord had more to add to it. But today He said, “Post it. There is revelation in it.”

“Light up the world. Light up the world, My People, for this is your time to shine. I will blaze, you will shine. You have a saying – ‘I was born for this.’ YOU WERE BORN FOR THIS. I chose YOU to live in this time of My Great Harvest. I have nurtured and prepared My People who would so allow. Now the time is upon you to SHINE.

“I tell you now a secret – a mystery to now be revealed. At the edge of eternity stands a signpost: ‘Trust led you here.’

“Trust will lead you forward. Will you go?”

Notes:

Matthew 5:14-16: You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

[At the time Jesus spoke the above verses, during His “Sermon on the Mount,” this was a revolutionary thought to all who heard. Israel was oppressed and enslaved by Rome. They awaited a military-like Messiah who would free them from their physical slavery. They waited to be rescued by someone else. They were not thinking in terms of each individual person standing up for his/her own victory – to shine before others as a testimony of the Lord.]

Isaiah 60:1-3: Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Psalm 139: 15-17: My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!

Ephesians 2:10: For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Psalm 56:3-4: When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?

Psalm 37:5-6: Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

“I would tell you your end is near. The end of striving. My people WILL LEARN how to forsake their striving and to REST in Me. Your striving is of your own accord. Your striving, based on your own understanding of any given situation and your own strength and choices, has no effect in the battle for Victory in My Kingdom. Do I need to say this to you again? Your striving is USELESS to me. In fact, it stands in the way of My choices for you. It sets you off guard. It turns your eyes toward circumstances that I do not choose for you to focus upon. Striving saps your strength, your will to continue the fight. For you do not fight effectively when I AM not in your choices. You only wear yourself out. This is very pleasing to your enemy. He laughs at this. He mocks you.

“Do you want to be effective in the battles you fight for My Kingdom? You must fight only as I tell you. And even in the midst of the greatest battles – I call you to REST in Me. Remember My definition of Rest. It does not require inactivity. It does not require peace of circumstance. You REST in Me as a child rests against his mother, even as great chaos goes on around him. The REST is your TRUST in Me. It is a Trust so deep, so profound, that changing circumstances cannot shake you. Even the worst circumstances – you know I take them into My hand. Yes, pray against them. Declare against any and all evil you see acting out before you. And in the midst of your fighting in prayer, REST in Me, Trusting that I have the situation in hand.

“Rest in Me is one of the greatest lessons you can ever learn. True, uncompromising Rest in Me will save you from disappointment, weariness, unnecessary anger. Rest in Me brings unassailable and supernatural Peace. You may be up all night praying as I call you. You may be tired the next day. Still, above all this earthly physicality, lies your spiritual Rest in Me. DO you understand My meaning for this word? LEARN MY MEANING. Learning how to Rest in Me requires daily discipline and your unbending will to do so. Ask Me for help in this. You cannot do it on your own. ‘On your own’ equals striving. Forsake striving and REST IN ME.

“All Praise to the God of creation who gives Peace and Rest to His People as they remain firmly, immovably in Him. Amen.”

Notes:

Ecclesiastes 4:6: One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

Psalm 46:10: Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalm 37:7-9: Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evildoing. For evildoers will be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

Matthew 11:28-30: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

Psalm 131:2: Surely I have composed and quieted my soul; Like a weaned child rests against his mother, my soul is like a weaned child within me.

Isaiah 26:3: You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

Exodus 33:14: And He said, “My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.

John 16:33: These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.

Psalm 62:1-8: Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. How long will you assault me? Would all of you throw me down—this leaning wall, this tottering fence? Surely they intend to topple me from my lofty place; they take delight in lies. With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

“These are the days of BOUNTY. Bountiful gifts from Me. Bountiful attacks from your enemy. Give him – and his deeds – no mind. Remember he is a defeated foe. His demise from his reigning over America has already been recorded in the court of heaven. And who would stand against My JUDGMENT?

“Continue to pray against his evil deeds and plans. And continue, My People, to rest your eyes upon Me and My Promises for America. The more you REST in Me, the more of My Peace, Joy, Gratefulness, Delight, and Wonder you will find. I say to you again – THESE ARE THE DAYS OF MY BOUNTY. Get used to that word, My People. BOUNTY. BOUNTIFUL. Declare this word from Me over your life, the life of your family and nation. Declare My bountiful gifts raining down upon you. Open your hands to receive. Open your eyes to see. If you enmesh yourself in complaints and impatience of My Timing, you will miss My bountiful gifts.

“The Christmas season is upon you. The season dedicated to My Son’s birth. Therefore – dedicate yourself to such celebration. I do not begrudge you the hours of house decorating and buying gifts for those you love. I love beauty, as you do. I created beauty. I love the lights of Christmas. I created Light. Light always speaks of Me. But in all of this busyness of season, I invite you to immerse yourself in the BOUNTY of My greatest gift to you, the coming of My Son to earth to live among you. A birth destined for a death. A death destined for a resurrection. A resurrection destined for ascending back to heaven. Because of all of this, My Son, Jesus, now sits at My right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, authority, power, and dominion. And YOU, My People, sit with Him in the heavenly places as co-heirs of His Kingdom. The Kingdom I AM now bringing to earth. The completion of your Destiny as I wrote and purposed all began with My Son’s conception and birth on earth. Do not forget these humble beginnings. For this BEGINNING, overlooked by the world but wildly celebrated in heaven, turned the events of the earth. And so I ask you – is your celebration of CHRISTmas according to My plans for you? Look to your words, your deeds, your thoughts in this season – and align them with celebration of My Son.

“What is My gift to you this Christmas, oh America? I say again – BOUNTY. Proclaim this word over yourself and your families. Proclaim – and WATCH. Amen.”

Job 40:6-8: Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm and said, “Now gird up your loins like a man; I will ask you, and you instruct Me. Will you really annul My judgment? Will you condemn Me that you may be justified?”

Psalm 116:7: Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

Genesis 1:3:  Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

I John 1:5: This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

Matthew 1:18-21: Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. But when he had considered this, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” 

I Peter 3:18: For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit…

I Peter 3:22: …Jesus Christ, who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.

Ephesians 1:20-21, 2:4-6: …which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come….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.

Romans 8:16-17: The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

Luke 2:8-20: In the same region there were shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” When the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds began saying to one another, “Let us go straight to Bethlehem then, and see this thing that has happened which the Lord has made known to us.” So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger. When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child. And all who heard it wondered at the things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary treasured all these things, pondering them in her heart. The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

The Lord woke me to speak this word at 3:05 am:

“This shall God do: He will take care of the poor. He will soften the weary. He will give His People bread. He will vindicate the blood of the innocent. He will set the captives free. He will heal the land. He will silence the lying tongue. He will RECOMPENSE.

“I come as King. I come to save and destroy. I come to deliver – Myself.

“I will not be banished. I will not be delayed. I hinder, I hurry. I wait. I strike.

“Who will stop the Lord? Who commands, ‘Go here, go there?’ Who decides His timing?

“Pay heed, America. You who scorn and deride. You who mock Me in your insolence. You speak only as I tolerate. You speak – and I record. And who will have the LAST WORD?

“Glory be alone to Christ the King, to God Almighty the Father, and to the Spirit of Truth. The Great Three in One shall finish what He started.

“He shall SAVE AMERICA!

“Amen.”
