A Gift Coming to You This Christmas

Merry Christmas to you and your family! I have a prophetic word of encouragement for you. The Lord is bringing you a special gift this year. There is a breakthrough and a major change in the spiritual season starting at Christmas.

The gift of God’s timing

I keep hearing in my spirit, “the fullness of time has come.” I knew this was about the timing that God used to bring Jesus into the world.

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son. Galatians 4:4 NKJV

As I was praying, I heard the Lord say, “Not ahead, not behind, but right on time.” 

He also said to me, “I am going to bring you into My timing this Christmas. I am going to work things behind the scenes to position you for 2022.”

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die … Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 NIV

This might be different from person to person, but the Lord is causing the old to die away to bring new life. He will use it all to set you up for the new time and season.

Trust the Lord

Stay focused on the Lord no matter what things look like, and trust Him. God is going to deliver you out of the old season and into the new.

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. Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

We have walked through some strange times, but things are indeed changing. As you move forward, you will see the confusion, panic and fear begin to drop off. Depression and anxiety are going to vanish as the Lord is moving in your life in a mighty way.

Continue to wait on the Lord and He will indeed renew your strength.

But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 NKJV

Ask the Lord for a sign

Bring me to your grace-fountain so that your strength becomes mine. Be my hero and come rescue your servant once again! Send me a miraculous sign to show me how much you love me … Psalms 86:16-17 TPT

The Lord is giving you a fountain of grace and refreshment to finish the good fight and to bring you out of the old season and into the new. 

In the midst of one of the most intense attacks on me last week, the Lord opened this to me. As I was praying with some others on the phone, a fountain of grace and joy opened, and we laughed in the Spirit!

Ask the Lord for your “grace-fountain.” When this happens, you can go back to the moment and sit in His presence, even if it is just for a few minutes. 

Also ask the Lord for a sign to let you know He loves you. Ask for a dream, prophetic word or something to speak to you like a song or movie. 

Do not be discouraged

I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.… But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead…. Philippians 3:12-13 NIV

Keep moving forward and forget what is behind. Some things you have waited for are now coming into place. Keep in mind it might look different than you once thought.

Do not be discouraged. The Lord is with you, and He is doing a strange work to bring you into His timing and prepare you for the new season ahead.

I hope you have a blessed Christmas!
