I am blowing a fiery wind upon the earth, burning up the ropes and blowing down the walls that have long bound and divided My people.
Offence – you are coming down! For those who step into the fire, you will no longer feel the sting of offence. Your new identity and freedom will help you see through its ploy, no longer giving it power. I am releasing reconciliation upon My people – among spouses, families, friends, and acquaintances. Watch as I soften hearts and stir one another to reach out with compassion.
Repentance will abound, and relationships will be restored as clouds of grace rain down a healing love. Forgiveness will become commonplace, paving a path to becoming a mature body, built up in love and working as one to bring in a great harvest.
I am calling out to My remnant. Who is willing to be among the first to step into the delivering fire? You will be blessed for your obedience. I will give you a crown of beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, and a cloak of praise for heaviness. I will set you apart and grow you into a tall oak of righteousness to display the beauty of what obedience yields.
Activation: Say “Yes!” to God’s reconciliation movement. Sit with Him and listen for who He is calling you to reconcile with. Repent for partnering with offence and any other sin that caused division in the relationship. Ask the Lord to heal and deliver you, burning away all that does not belong.
Then, allow the Lord to guide you in the next steps of reconciliation with the person. Repeat with as many people the Lord calls you to. Make forgiveness a common practice in your day-to-day. Then watch as the Lord rewards you for your obedience.
Ephesians 4:32 (NIV)
Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Ephesians 4:15-16 (NIV)
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Isaiah 61:3 (EHV)
He has sent me to . . . provide for those who mourn in Zion, to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, a cloak of praise instead of a faint spirit, so that they will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord to display his beauty.
