As I sat with the Father, he began to download a vision that was similar to a short film playing in front of me in regards to what is happening on the Earth right now with COVID-19. He gave me insight into ‘the big picture’ and I pray this will bring you hope and encouragement.

In the first scene, I began to see an abundance of turbulence. Turbulence, by definition is “violent or unsteady movement of air, water or some other fluid”, as well as “conflict and confusion.” Turbulence, as you know, when experienced, tends to create a ‘fear factor’ because of the unknown. The following questions arise, “Why is it happening?”, “When will it stop?”, “Will it get worse?”

We are living in this scene now, some more affected by what is happening than others. There has been a fear factor created because of what is happening with COVID-19. Yes, the media is greatly responsible for this, however the real battle takes place with the enemy of this world. This has been a perfect door of opportunity to send people into panic, fear, anxiety, unrest and absolute torment. There are many questions right now rolling around in people’s minds, there are billions of theories/thoughts to filter through and many are uncertain of when life will get back to the ‘new normal’.

During this scene, I saw the hand of The Father reach down and begin smoothing out the turbulence happening in the world. You may not see this right now, however be assured HE is working behind the scenes and HE IS restoring, realigning, healing and bringing full recompense to our nation for ALL the loss happening right now! I saw this scene as if the Father was a huge giant working on a ‘make believe world’, similar to a model city an architect would design as a blueprint. The Father’s hand came down and he was rearranging the chaos and bringing the cities back into order. I saw him creating, building, rearranging and recreating cities, families, neighborhoods, career paths, churches, callings/purpose and more. The majority of the world had been tweaked in many areas and there were many elements that appeared brand new and looked very different than before. I heard the Lord say “I’m paving new pathways now.”

Friends, I will never minimize the loss people are experiencing through this pandemic in our nation, however I assure you of two things. God did NOT bring this upon our nation as judgement and HE WILL bring BEAUTY out of the pain and loss of this season. He was not surprised, He is not shaken and He is utilizing this pandemic as an opportunity of FULL RESTORATION in relationship with him and in all aspects of life. We have been forced to halt and the Father is realigning, redirecting and resetting our lives in a significant way. We are going back to the basics, we are getting rid of distractions, we are remembering family values, we are reprioritizing and we have one of the greatest opportunities to fall in love with Jesus and know him better than ever before.

This scene was filled with so much emotion for me! I could feel the gentleness, kindness and radical love that THE FATHER has for each one of us. After so much of life had changed for many, he invited each one of His children to sit on His lap to explain with such love and detail ‘THE WHY’ behind the loss, the transitions and the shifting. People were in awe as they were filled with such gratitude and thankfulness in their hearts. Though they had experienced great pain, the people who accepted the invitation were so thankful and grateful for what they had walked through and it suddenly became worth it. God had turned ‘PAIN INTO PROMISE” and He proved, once again, to be a redemptive, restorative and loving Father.

I loved this scene because I saw people literally picked up from one position in life and placed into their exact destiny, calling and purpose. I saw people who despised their careers, now living their dreams. I saw upgrades, promotions, growth and many new opportunities ahead of them. I saw confusion turn to clarity, depression turn to joy, and hopelessness turn to hope. I saw family unity, healing, new traditions, greater value systems, more joy and the simplicity of love, honor and respect be restored back to homes. I saw neighborhood gatherings, new relationships being established, full of genuine care and support. I saw the body of Christ clean up and rise up. I saw repentance, unity, humility, people getting rid of their own agendas and truly a display of what God has called His church to be. I saw the spirit of religion break, judgement/criticism exposed, greater love, true power being established on the Earth and a great awakening to our nation. The bride had risen and took her place.

After this beautiful explanation and understanding from the Father, I saw Jesus grab the hands of each one of His children who had this encounter and he walked them over to this giant rainbow. As many of you know, the rainbow is biblically symbolic for the promises of God. Jesus took the hand of each one of his children and walked them up one side of the rainbow until they reached the top. He invited His children to lay on top of the rainbow with him and “bask in His promises” for their lives. I saw Jesus and each one lying on their backs on top of this rainbow, laughing, enjoying, talking, reminiscing and truly taking it all in. Pain turned to promise and it all was worth it!

Many people have been living in a wilderness season, some completely away from God and others have been living in a mediocre complacent state of being. The Father is truly utilizing this moment in our lives to display His love, His Goodness, His Holiness, His Authority and His Faithfulness. It is coming, it is being established, and it is available. This is one of the greatest opportunities to walk out of the wilderness into the promise land!

This scene was absolutely beautiful and full of great joy. I saw crazy amounts of JOY as people celebrated in triumphant and victorious dance parties all over our nation. I saw people celebrating and Jesus was among them all dancing, laughing, jumping, stomping, clapping and experiencing true FREEDOM. This was the FREEDOM many had been searching for, way before the turbulence had begun. The TURBULENCE had turned to TRIUMPH and once again, it was all worth it!

Friends, I know this is a very difficult time for many, however I want you to know our God is a God of RESTORATION, HEALING, REDEMPTION, RECOMPENSE and PROMISE! Nothing IS EVER WASTED! He will not let you down. “Even when you don’t feel it, He is working. Even when you don’t see it, He is working. He never stops, he never stops working.” (Way Maker – Bethel Music) He truly is our “Way maker, Miracle worker, Promise Keeper and our Light in the darkness.” He is our God, the creator of the universe, the one true living God, the king of glory, He is Jesus and there is NONE other like him. False idols, distractions and deception must go!

Press in friends, He is sounding the alarm, He is calling you up and He is calling you out! He is here and this is the greatest invitation to be aligned and redirected into the EXACT purpose you have been called to, for such a time as this.

Will you respond? Will you dive in? Will you repent? Will you believe that He will turn your pain into promise, your turbulence into triumph?

I KNOW THAT HE WILL! HE OVER DELIVERS EVERYTIME!

Take Courage Friends!
