I heard the Lord say, “I want to speak to your heart.”
He continued: “You have felt like I have abandoned you, but in truth I have not, and I promise you this: You have felt like I am not fighting for you, leaving you to suffer in your lane, but I want you to know that I have plans to elevate you above your enemy.
“I only allow the enemy to attack you when I am ready for you to defeat him. I only let you go into battle when I am ready to win something. Do you not know that I am your advance guard and your rearguard? What kind of advance guard would I be if I took you into something where you were going to get killed?
“I have hedged you in behind and before.
“You have been feeling like your unction was gone, but you are just where I wanted you: dependent on Me, whether in this situation or that. You are right in the center of My will, and I will keep you there; for My keeping power is great and mighty and is moving on your behalf.
“I am with you to keep you, and ‘you must prophesy again.’”
“You are in a Revelation 10 moment in your personal life.”
Then the Lord led me to Revelation 10:8-11, which says:
“Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me again and said, ‘Go, take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the earth.’ So, I went to the angel and said to him, ‘Give me the little book.’ And he said to me, ‘Take and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth.’ Then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter. And he said to me, ‘You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues and kings’” (Rev. 10:8-11, NKJV).
The Lord continued:
“You are in a Revelation 10 moment in your personal life. You have taken the book of the days I have ordained for you, and you have eaten it.
“Recent days of recent years were sweet in your mouth, but bitter when you had time to digest them. And because of the bitterness in your belly, you thought all hope was lost and that your anointing to prophesy had disappeared.
“But instead, I tell you, you must prophesy again.
“And this time it will be at another level; you will prophesy even more on the global stage than you could ever have imagined. You will truly prophesy accurately ‘about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings,’ as My Word predicts in Revelation 10:11.
“You must prophesy again. I have confirmed this to you with the double-double, and no weapon formed against you will prosper.
“The book in your belly may be bitter now, but the bitterness will not last forever.
“The gall offered to Jesus on the cross (which He refused) no longer rankled Him after the resurrection. Bitter things do not last forever. Weeping may truly endure for a night, but My joy does come in the morning—and I am sending My joy now to propel you and fill you up again.
“I am recommissioning you today as I commissioned Jeremiah the first time.
“And I am promising you this:
- That I shall be with you always;
- That I shall be with you to protect you;
- That I will hit your spirit hard with My revelation, so you will always know when it’s Me speaking and not anything or anyone else.
“You must prophesy again. Ask of Me a sign.
“I have already confirmed it to you with the double, but I am willing to confirm it three or four times or even more. You must prophesy again, and I am with you to help you. My words shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your children and children’s children, from this time forth and forevermore.
“This is your recommissioning. Go forth to prophesy in the name of My Son Jesus.”
