I heard the spirit of God say “This next season looks like ‘Riding the Wave.'”
Before someone rides a wave, they must learn to lie down and balance on a surfboard. This is a time of learning, training, and preparing for the progression of the surfing experience. Right before you ‘Ride the Wave,’ you must ‘Catch the Wave.’ Catching the wave is “the point when the wave hits the tail end of the surfboard and starts to push the surfer as he or she is paddling.”
The surfer must be positioned correctly in order for the wave to catch, so the surfer can successfully ride the wave. Many surfers describe riding a wave as a breathtaking experience or as an adrenaline rush. Surfing is often referred to as an addictive sport because of the mystery of the ocean, the feeling of adventure, and the energy that is transported into a person from the actual wave itself. Wow, sounds amazing!
Many of you have been waiting to at least “Catch the Wave,” or catch a break in a sense. However, there is much more than a break coming! Many of you felt momentum speeding up in the process of building, however it appeared to have slowed down, and for some it felt like a complete stop. However, this was a realignment to get in the proper position to catch the right wave in order to ride the wave of favor and fulfillment in Christ.
For those who have been preparing, learning how to lie down, how to surrender, and how to balance life according to the order of Heaven; get ready! You have been paddling for quite some time and wondering when your effort will be matched with reward. In fact, many of you stopped paddling because you recognized you were striving and you chose to rest and trust in our good Father.
Pioneers, you have partnered with your promises and you have positioned yourself to fulfill the call of God on your life. Well done. You have stayed steadfast and it has not come at a small cost. You have studied and shown yourself approved. You have questioned if you heard correctly, however you have stayed the course with tenacity and endurance in your spirit.
“This next season looks like riding the wave” and the Father is going to show Himself as faithful, true, and just. Many of you have felt discouraged by “another prophetic word” because you have not experienced what you have so long been waiting for, but God is saying “Get Ready”! God is taking weariness and turning it into wonder. He’s taking discouragement and turning into discovery. He’s taking perseverance and turning it into promise.
I prophesy this next season looks like flowing in favor and abundance. It looks like experiencing His glorious wonder. I saw people sitting down at a poker table and across from them was the enemy staring them down, trying to cause intimidation and wanting them to give up. I saw accusations and questions that created doubt coming out of His mouth. However, I saw lions rise up, call his bluff, and go all in with their chips.
It’s “pay off” time and I see people cashing in their chips for their abundant rewards! As many of you step into your sweet spot, it is going to be like nothing you have ever experienced before in your relationship with Jesus. Yes, His goodness and faithfulness will leave many in awe, wonder, breath taking, and at times even speechless.
God gave me a scripture for those of you who have been persecuted, rejected, falsely accused, and slandered in this last season. “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” (Psalm 23:5-6) God is your vindicator and He leaves nothing unseen or cared for. {eoa}
