Arise and Shine! It’s your Time!

While in prayer yesterday the Lord began to show me gold bricks just falling from the sky and they just kept shining and falling! Gold means wealth, provision, purity, refinement, presence of God, and perfection. Many of us have felt unseen, unheard or even misunderstood at times. Many of you have been stuck in a place that seems unshakable. What if I told you that the time is Now for you to arise and shine. No one will be able to deny that you have been sitting with the Lord.

Moses had to go up the mountain on three different occasions. He initially went up the mountain and took the two tables of commandments with him. He carried the word with him and what is even more interesting is the amount of time he spent with Jesus. 40 days and 40 night represented trial and probation period. The first time he went up the mountain was in Exodus 24. Fast forward, 8 chapters later, the people complained that he took too long and began to make a golden calf and worship it. Something that gave a false sense of fulfillment. God wanted to strike them down but Moses pleaded with God to remain calm and that he would deal with them. Grieved in his spirit he came down and broke the tablets and burn the golden calf. He went back up to atone for the sins of the people in the land. In Chapter 34, we see the hand of the Lord on Moses who the Lord gave instructions to break and smash every idol and rebuilding his covenant with his people. His face was shining this time around and could see Gods glory and reverential fear of the Lord. 3 is the number of completion, resurrection, wholeness. This is the season where God is tearing down idols in our hearts and mind and releasing his healing over many so that they may be in alignment with him.

After seeing the golden bricks falling the Lord led to Isaiah 60. “Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, And the glory and brilliance of the Lord has risen upon you. For in fact, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness will cover the peoples; But the Lord will rise upon you [Jerusalem] And His glory and brilliance will be seen on you. Nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. “Lift up your eyes around you and see; They all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from far away, And your daughters will be looked after at their side. Then you will see and be radiant, And your heart will tremble [with joy] and rejoice Because the abundant wealth of the seas will be brought to you, The wealth of the nations will come to you. A multitude of camels [from the eastern trading tribes] will cover you [Jerusalem], The young camels of Midian and Ephah; All those from Sheba [who once came to trade] will come Bringing gold and frankincense And proclaiming the praises of the Lord. All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you [as the eastern pastoral tribes join the trading tribes], The rams of Nebaioth will serve you; They will go up with acceptance [as sacrifices] on My altar, And I will glorify the house of My honor and splendor. The islands and coastlands will confidently wait for Me; And the ships of Tarshish will come first, To bring your sons from far away, Their silver and gold with them, For the name of the Lord your God, For the Holy One of Israel because He has glorified you. “Foreigners will build up your walls, And their kings will serve you; For in My [righteous] wrath I struck you, But in My favor and grace I have had compassion on you. Your gates will be open continually; They shall not be shut day or night, So that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations— With their kings led in procession. For the nation or the kingdom which will not serve you [Jerusalem] shall perish, And the nations [that refuse to serve] shall be utterly ruined. The glory of Lebanon will come to you, The cypress, the juniper, and the cedar together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary; And I will honor and make the place of My feet glorious. The sons of those who oppressed you will come bowing down to you [in submission], And all those who despised you and treated you disrespectfully will bow down at the soles of your feet, And they will call you the City of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. “Whereas you [Jerusalem] have been abandoned and hated With no one passing through, I will make you an object of pride forever, A joy from generation to generation. You will suck the milk of the [Gentile] nations And suck the breast (abundance) of kings; Then you will recognize and know that I, the Lord, am your Savior And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I will bring gold, And instead of iron I will bring silver, And instead of wood, bronze, And instead of stones, iron. And [instead of the tyranny of the present] I will appoint peace as your officers, And righteousness your rulers. Violence will not be heard again in your land, Nor devastation or destruction within your borders; But you will call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise [to God]. The sun will no longer be your light by day, Nor shall the bright glow of the moon give light to you, But the Lord will be an everlasting light for you; And your God will be your glory and splendor. Your sun will no longer set, Nor will your moon wane; For the Lord will be your everlasting light, And the days of your mourning will be over. Then all your people will be [uncompromisingly and consistently] righteous; They will possess the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified. The smallest one will become a thousand (a clan), And the least one a mighty nation. I, the Lord, will quicken it in its [appointed] time.”(Isaiah‬ ‭60‬:‭1‬-‭7‬, ‭9‬-‭22‬ ‭AMP‬‬).

This is a prophetic declaration to come out of hiding, come out of sleep and let the Lord shine on you. His Glory and anointing has already been released over you all you have to do is step into it. Come up higher in the secret place and watch what God will do. Making a true and authentic covenant with the Father. Its going to be known what the Lord is doing in and over your life. He is about to lavish his children with gifts and resources! Get ready. What has been stolen in the past, is gonna be recovered much more to you because you have remained faithful to the Lord God. When you see camels in scripture or in the natural, they carry loads of resources on their back. I want you to know that whatever assignment or mandate the Lord has given you, he will provide. Trust and believe that he will do it! You are being refined so that people will Jesus in you. God is about to give you more than what you asked for. His favor is your shield everywhere you go! Decree it over your life today. His gates are open continually and he is giving your full access to him. This is the hour to get up and eat. When Jesus healed the little girl in Mark 5, he said Talitha Cumi which means maiden arise. You have not been dead but asleep and its time for you to arise and let your light shine! Take your position and do not leave post daughters! Take back the land that belongs to you! Take back your authority! If you think about a pregnant woman, people will begin to see her glow at a certain stage of the pregnancy. They take extra care of them at stores, restaurants etc because they realize the essence of what they are carrying. If you only knew what was deep down on the inside of you. If you only knew the magnitude of what you carried to bless nations to come. You would see the fruit in all of the pains, aches, and sleepless nights. Let God birth you this season.
