2023 - The Year of Return


Haggai 1 + 2 are scriptural focal points, here is an excerpt: Think carefully about your ways! “Go up into the hills and bring down lumber and build the house, and I will be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the Lord. “You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined it. Why?” This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies. “Because my house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy in his own house…”


For the Lord of Armies says this, “Once more, in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea the dry land. I will shake all the nations so that the treasures of all the nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory”, says the Lord of Armies. “The final glory of this house will be greater than the first”, says the Lord of Armies. “I will provide peace in this place” –this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.


On that day” — this is the declaration of the Lord of Armies — “I will take you, my servant” — this is the Lord’s declaration — “and make you like my signet ring, for I have chosen you.” This is the declaration of the Lord of Armies.

Revelation 2:8-11

“Write to the angel of the church in Smyrna: Thus says the First and the Last, the one who was dead and came to life.


I know your affliction and poverty, but you are rich.


Be faithful to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. “Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will never be harmed by the second death.


Acts 4:32-35 Now the entire group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but instead they held everything in common. With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on all of them. For there was not a needy person among them because all those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the proceeds of what was sold, and laid them at the apostles’ feet. This was then distributed to each person as needed.




Into the wardrobe, grab your apparel, and move through quickly! Never mind the clutter and chaos of the unkept closet, I’ve packed up boxes from last season and I’m returning them to the sender. These are the boxes of mixture, deception, and other possessions that will not serve you where we’re going, sleeping agents that have kept my bride in a stupor. Identity is of utmost importance, not in appearance but in character, these garments in your hands are to be consumed, they fit on the inside to shine through with brilliance. Eat up.


I’m raising up a misfit militia, each will be trained by my hand in on-going intimacy. Continue to govern the fire – continue to steward well each flame. I know you grow tired and even weary but you MUST keep pushing. Simply continue to narrate what I show you, I am meeting with each when least expected. In the moment, out of the moment, it matters little, what happens individually will translate corporately and it's lasting. The embers of intimacy will be seen soaring through.


I am after my family.

I am uncovering ties to deception; freeing my people to commune deeply, and authentically. Great courage will come upon you to look beyond the surface, I’m uncovering bonds, trappings, and vices. It’s a transparent season so, swallow up your garments! I am bonding my body, not over just anything, over life abundantly, over great grace, justice and truth. Hold the line of conviction, break the back of tolerance and continue to echo, “No Compromise”. It is then that I will begin to shape and mold family life like you’ve never known. You will be known as a phenomenon as you step into my Commons. Signs, wonders, and miracles will accompany Great Grace–the measure will be known in, NO NEEDS AMONG YOU. None. Understand what I’m getting at! There won’t be any issues of health, wealth, or hunger, all will be satisfied. This is what I’m setting up; yours is to hold the line of NO COMPROMISE and continue to feed the fire.


Consider the cost!


You must keep pace.

Think of a wildfire consuming decades of deception’s insulating weeds; overgrown sentimentality that I didn’t author. It’s a blazing fire swallowing up all that doesn’t live up to the standard of my righteousness revealed in this day. KEEP PACE. You will look and see desert life, but look again, a second glance to see great provision; each intentional step of obedience leaving a wake of glory power, an oasis for creative life to flourish. You will be consumed with zeal for my house, my way. Don’t fret the mistakes, there will be plenty of those, I will be with you to turn you around, setting your feet on higher ground.


Family revival.

Hearts turned back to me in deep reverence and lasting devotion, the least of these, the worst off will hear my knocking and let me in. I am releasing a healing balm over families with a grace to uncover iniquities; deep healing is coming to my House of Myrrh. I’m touching pain-filled memories trapped in the hidden corners of your soul. I am sweeping out every crevice and corner, this is the Jubilee year of the soul in order to be satisfied and not crushed by the release of my greater glory. Watch me for this one thing, hold me to my word; I am restoring family life–ask me even now and I will step in. You will house people eager to surrender, willing to die. Ask me, I will diffuse the essence of that sweet resin in your midst, you will know my intention, my call for surrender with the wafting fragrance of myrrh.


The intensity of my training will overwhelm you when leaning upon your own understanding. Let go of all you think you know because an upgrade is loading and it will override most of what you hold close. I’m not trying to trip you up, my intention is to offend your mind for expansion, you are missing key components that hold truth upright. You will no longer feel as if you are a pendulum swinging from truth to truth, occupying contrasting ends of measure, you will sit in COUNSEL and KNOW. Watch me as I set fire to the half-baked gospel agenda occupying my lands, watch me as I torch half-truths and meaningless trust. I will have a bride consumed with my house, she who knows her way through my halls, to my hideaways. I am not withholding, I’ve held nothing back, yet you’ve settled for dwelling within the shacks of Satan with a foot in my door. Now, you will know my jealousy, I am no longer merely hinting at it. I am breathing life on the gospel again and raising up an unfiltered expression of it. I am forming a militia from my remnant, those who will listen to be shaped rather than merely gather and seed my words. I require more, I desire more. Will you allow my voice to shape and satisfy you? Will you sit long enough for me to add the dimension that is necessary? My people stop to listen long enough to make much of their ability to hear, but certainly not long enough to build anything more than a house of cards.


I am building in this season.

Laying a foundation in your minds and your hearts, a work that will translate within my footstool. Keep perspective of me, who I am. Qualify me with every step, remember my majestic ways, recognize my moods and mannerisms, and memorize my facial expressions. I am shaping your praise, forming your intercession, and writing your messages. Draw close, and get in on the action. As you break through into a new year, keep persistence as your companion, wear your all-access pass around your neck, and know that you belong in our house.


I am laying territory at your feet; a rolled-up remnant for you to spread wide.

Hang it out, beat the dust from it, cleanse it from its iniquitous history. Expand wide, stake the eastern border. You are my governmental ambassadors, you will find yourselves in spaces you have no experience, and no credentials, however, I have found hearts that can host my Zeal appropriately–a fiery crew that knows and banks on the inheritance of my government that will live on and on, forevermore. In you, I have found hands to drop my legislation, wrap your hands around my scrolls and take ownership. Great authority will consume you, I have called you to GOVERN the fire, I have set my government upon you to steward with passion, truth, and trust; Great Grace will accompany you as you go. You may feel unprepared but you will never go alone. Boldness will host you all your days. I am re-mantling you and re-training you to establish my authority in the Americas. You will learn on the job, it’s hands-on, as-you-go training. Do not fret, I am your rear guard and I have certainly gone before you. Stretch out my territory as you go, you will know when to sow and when to harvest, you will know when to tear up and when to build.


Count the cost now, I will show you the price tag.


I am the Lord of the Angel Armies, and I am deploying a company of government officials from the ranks of my embassy. You will have all you need! Go boldly, in confidence that the Lord of the Angel Armies has sent you and surrounded you with a host. As you go your needs will be fulfilled, you are those who keep your eyes fixed on the Kingdom of Heaven. The angelic are moved into action by great faith. You will become more and more familiar with their ways, trust me.


I bless your year and the fruit of your labor.
