As I sat silently this morning playing instrumental music, my spirit was still in the Lord, waiting upon Him as I was in silence. I heard in my spirit, "I love you, daughter, I love your heart." Then I heard in my spirit, "Shake off the dust." I sat and just had this overwhelming peace come over me. The Lord said, "Shake off what has kept you back from moving forward in me. It's time to see all you have prayed for come forth. The nations are in turmoil, fires burn, and cleansing is happening. You are in the new! Grasp the new, my daughter."

In the book of Isaiah 52:1-15 says and paraphrases," We clothe ourselves in strength and put on the garments of splendor. Shake off your dust; rise up, sit enthroned with Christ Jesus, You will be redeemed, Those who ruled who have mocked, and all day long blasphemed my name will be dealt with. Vs. 6 Therefore my people will know my name, therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I. vs. 7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, Your God reigns.
The Lord has comforted His people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. He has redeemed you in your situations.
The LORD will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.
Depart, depart, go out from there! Touch no unclean thing! Come out from it and be pure, you who carry the articles of the LORD’s house.
Go out God will be your rear guard.
See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted.
Just as there were many who were appalled at him — his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness—
so he will sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand. "
Through the process of letting go, I have realized that God's word is present in every aspect of our lives on this earth. Many events have occurred to many of us, reminding us to focus our minds on the goodness of His word, even in moments of correction. He disciplines those He loves. I am grateful that God, through His son Jesus, bore it for us on the cross, allowing us to leave the past behind and embrace the new. This new phase will bring its challenges and growth, which is what we desire. We aim to become better individuals, reflecting God's righteousness. As the verses above suggest, we must act wisely and seek His presence. Even in silence, He will communicate with your spirit.
Much love to you on this Saturday. I hope this blessed you and gave you encouragement in shaking things off for the new season.
