IT’S TIME TO ADVANCE

04/01/2023

“I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My name”(Revelation 3:8). 

 In Joshua 3:7, the Lord said to Joshua, "Today I will begin to magnify you in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” The word "magnify" as used in this verse could also mean “to cause to advance.” In essence, God was saying to Joshua, “I will cause you to advance.” Saints, when God pushes you forward, there is no force that can stop you. 

The days of heaven being closed over you are long over; the days of running on empty are over; the days of disappointments and rejection are eternally over. This is your season of fresh dew; the month to advance. This is a new chapter of God’s grace over you and no man will be able to explain the favor that will go before and after you. The Lord laid this in my spirit for you today: “Who was it who spoke and it came into being? It was the Lord who gave the order” (Lamentation 3:37). Because the naysayers and those who have desired nothing but your shame and downfall were not anointed to speak over your life, their expectations will amount to nothing; in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And the Lord Almighty says this to you: “Instead of shame and dishonor, you will enjoy a double share of honor. You will possess a double portion of prosperity in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours” (Isaiah 61:7). Hallelujah! 

Make no mistake, you will hear, see and feel things that are contrary to what the Lord is saying to you right now. Jesus said tribulations and persecutions will arise on account of the Word given by God (Mark 4:17). So let it not be a surprise to you that things suddenly changed from “it can be better” to “Pastor, I don’t know what’s going on.” Relax child of God; the shenanigans that you will  see are expected. God has already spoken and everyone else is late and their words are not to be factored in going forward. Any encounter that may appear to be walls or closed doors are inconsequential. They shouldn’t cause you to question God’s Word. God is saying  “NO MORE CLOSED DOORS, IT’S TIME TO ADVANCE”  Just for the record, this is not a promise; Papa God is telling you what has already happened. This means that you are not to negotiate with any demon or circumstance. Your job is to ADVANCE.

As you advance, speak in tongues. I sense the same anointing that Moses felt when he met the Almighty in Exodus 3. I am telling you saints, move forward, and proclaim that the I AM has sent you. Papa God said to Moses, if anyone should ask you who sent you, simply say "I AM, THAT I AM; I AM has sent me.” Whatever door was closed to you before has now lost the ability to be closed against you. Because your Father, the I AM that I AM has spoken. And all you have to do is speak what He told you to say: “NO MORE CLOSED DOORS. IT’S TIME TO ADVANCE AND MOVE FORWARD” 

With that I welcome you to April, the month to advance.

God Bless You! 

Faith Filled Confession:

The Word of the Lord is right and true; He is faithful in all He does. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the decree of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The faithfulness of my God continues throughout all generations; He established the earth, and it stands and by His Word, the stars are held in their place. Who is like unto my God? Simply none; none is to be compared. Therefore, I stand boldly on His Word and I declare by faith: NO MORE CLOSED DOORS, I ADVANCE AND MOVE FORWARD. In Jesus name, Amen.
