Breakthroughs & Open Doors in Times of Darkness.

Dear Saints,

While seeking the Lord on what to share in this month’s post, He impressed upon me the urgent need to encourage His people.

Profound upheavals and shakings lie ahead. Yet, as I mentioned last month, the Lord has shown me His desire for His people to rise above the impending storms.

Once again this month, our Heavenly Father desires to encourage His people. We are all aware of the upcoming solar eclipse over the U.S., and there is much discussion about the darkness it may bring with it upon the U.S. and the world. While the Lord has not shown me anything specific, He has revealed to me that there will be unprecedented signs in the heavens, signaling the times and seasons we are in. Furthermore, He has made it known that we have the power to thwart the enemy’s plans, or at least diminish their impact. Therefore, if we unite in prayer against the enemy’s schemes during this solar eclipse period, I believe much evil can be averted.

However, it’s crucial to remember that we are still in the season of God breaking the bondage of Egypt’s power over us and setting us free. Just as it was in those days when the Israelites were liberated from Egypt, today we may experience times of thick darkness reminiscent of the land of Egypt. However, just as all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings during that period (Exodus 10:23b), so too will God’s people today. While there may not be a physical darkness as there was in Egypt in those days, there will be a darkness of God’s judgment passing through the land.

During this period when God’s judgment passes through the earth, it’s crucial to recognize that there will be a “passing over” of those who will humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways, and seek God’s will. These ones will be covered by the blood of the Lamb. Though God has underscored the importance of humbling ourselves during this time. Many of God’s people are still walking in pride and self-will without even realizing it.

During this season when God is liberating us from the chains of the enemy, there will also be breakthroughs and opportunities for blessings among His people. However, it’s crucial to emphasize the importance of humility. These breakthroughs and open doors will only come as we humble ourselves and obediently follow God’s leading. For those who persist in the pursuit of their own agendas, challenges will mount until they recognize the error of their ways, turn back to God, and humble themselves under His mighty hand.

God wants His people to understand that He has not forgotten us or His promises. He simply needs to align us with His will so that He can fulfill His promises in our lives. If we all humble ourselves and surrender to His will, things will begin to turn around.

God also instructs us to fortify ourselves with His word and His presence, and then we will witness the miracles He will perform for us during this time of uncertainty and distress.

A significant upheaval awaits the church in this season, and the false shepherds and unfaithful pastors will succumb to the pressure and fold. However, those walking uprightly and empowered by the boldness of Christ will emerge to confront the enemy and thwart his schemes to take out the church.

These truly are exciting days we live in. Don’t focus on the darkness around you and don’t get into fear, but instead put your focus and trust in Him and His word. Great things are in store for God’s people these days, so be encouraged.

As I end this post, I extend my love and prayers for the Lord’s abundant blessings to shower upon each of you. And if the words shared here have been a source of help or encouragement in your life, please consider giving back through a financial gift. Your contribution, regardless of the amount, is deeply valued and greatly needed. May the presence of Christ abundantly overflow in your hearts.

Your Brother in Christ,

Kevin B.
