"THE TIDE IS TURNING"

The Message: (Psalm 118)

15). Hear the shouts, hear the triumph songs in the camp of the saved?“The hand of GOD has turned the tide!

16). The hand of GOD is raised in victory!The hand of GOD has turned the tide!”

“The tides are turning.” Anytime that phrase is used it means a change in direction or a change in the way things are going. I believe we are now in the season of turning tides.

You may be in a season of things not going in the direction you’d like them to go or things just not going in your favor but I believe the Lord gave me this word for you, the tides are turning! It is time to step into your destiny, it is time for promises to be fulfilled, and it is time for things to begin working in your favor, on your behalf.

If this speaks to you, I want you to print this passage (Psalm 118:15 & 16) and put it somewhere where you can frequently see it because it’s going to be your victory Scripture before this year is over. You will be declaring; “Hear the shouts, hear the triumph songs in the camp of the saved! The hand of God has turned the tide! The hand of God is raised in victory! The hand of God has turned the tide!” The key in this Scripture is the phrase, “the hand of God.” He’s going to do it, all it’s going to take is His hand on your situation and defeat will turn to victory, sadness to joy, mourning to dancing, and bondage to freedom. The hand of God is raised in victory! The hand of God has turned the tide!

Do not be discouraged; do not be disappointed you are being set up for one of the greatest victories in your life. Stay strong and stay true to what God has called you to do because the tides are turning!

The Spirit would say to you who are weary and tired as you believe for breakthrough, “the tide has turned”! Circumstances are being shifted by the hand of God right NOW.

THE HAND OF GOD IS TURNING THE TIDE   Many have journeyed through a season of great pressure, and a spirit of fear and intimidation has consistently and relentlessly been trying to wear believers down and keep people out of the sweet spot of their call and destiny. A battle weariness has come over the bride, and hopelessness has pervaded circumstances like a wet and heavy blanket. Many normally resilient, faithful pioneers have been struggling to hold on to hope. This is shifting. The tide is turning. Expect increase of favour and victory in circumstances. Expect circumstances to turn. Expect hope to rise up and kiss your heart to life. Watch and see as the hand of God moves directly to bring long awaited breakthroughs. You will enter the sweet spot of your call.

FEAR AND INTIMIDATION HAVE HAD THEIR MOMENT An assignment of fear and intimidation has been unleashed against the body over recent months and many have been struggling to sustain energy and hope in the midst of unrelenting attack. A strangle hold of constrictive pressure intended to dry up hope and resources, and restricting advancement has simultaneously tried to bring death and destruction to all that carries life in the kingdom. I see the hand of God reaching into the earth and decreeing victory, just as one would flick a switch, and suddenly circumstances shift. The spirit would say to you “the tide has turned”. The season of turning around is upon you.

For many they have felt pushed on every side, and just standing in this past season has been a constant daily battle. Great and sustained courage has been necessary to remain fixed on what the Lord has promised in the midst of spiritual resistance. The relentless viciousness of the attack has threatened to squash, destroy and take out so many. Even faithful leaders have found the ongoing battle tiresome and many have fought the desire to give up and retreat. The enemy has boastfully schemed and strategically set wheels in motion specifically purposed to oppose and frustrate the people of God. The battle plan has been to simply keep releasing the hits, one after another after another, with the intention of wearing people down, shutting people up and keeping people from having the energy or resilience to get up and fight again. Many faithful ones have struggled with giving up, and a collective prayer of “Help Lord” has reached the heavens.

I sense the now shift as God has heard our hearts and is reaching from the glory realm into the earths domain decreeing shift.  The spirit would say, “My hand has turned the tide. My hand is raised in victory. Things are turning round.”

FAMILY ARE COMING Be encouraged. Your family and loved ones are coming home. This is a season of seeing many walk into the Fathers arms. The tide is turning. Decree their names and thank the Lord! The resistance of the past you have encountered has shifted and transformed into hunger.  Hearts are ready. Be expectant. God is turning things around for your loved ones.

TAKE THE PLUNGE! YOU HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS MOMENT. (A writer wrote) I saw a vision of a diving board from the perspective of the diver looking down and seeing their feet half hanging off the platform high above the water. There was a sense of fear of falling and failing. As I pondered this, I heard the spirit saying, “Take the plunge!”. “You have been prepared for this very moment”. The diver which represents the faithful church is poised ready to take the dive and yet battle weariness has caused many to second guess and falter on the diving platform, fearful, paralysed and unable to decisively advance.

FROM BATTLE WEARINESS TO VICTORY PREPAREDNESS The Fathers heart is for you heroic one, and I see fear being broken and hesitation to advance being obliterated as God shifts the perspective of many from battle weariness to victory preparedness. A fresh wind is blowing and hearts are being revived. Hope is being restored. Those faithfully holding on and standing, the Father would say to you, “You have been prepared and skilfully schooled in hard places to “take the plunge”.  Make the dive. You are not falling off a cliff. You are doing what divers train to do, they dive.….” I hear the spirit say, “gold medal performances are about to be released.”

MANY ARE BEING POSITIONED RIGHT NOW TO FLOURISH AND FLY in that which makes your heart soar. Those who push off fear and jump into the opportunities before them, will discover destiny junctures but you must take the plunge. The tide is turning.  Leap into abundant breakthrough with new ease as there is a grace to advance right now.

MANY IN THE BODY ARE POISED ON THE PROPHETIC DIVING PLATFORM JUST NOW. I HEARD THE SPIRIT SAY, “YOU HAVE BEEN PREPARED, TAKE THE PLUNGE”

ACCELERATION IS NOW After hearing the spirit say “the tide has turned”, I saw a vivid vision of the beach shoreline and the tide coming in quickly with greater force than usual or expected. Acceleration is now. There is an acceleration in the spirit just now and for those who will agree with what the Father is doing and ride the wave. Quick works are taking place and many will be shocked at just how quickly things turn around and Kingdom purposes are achieved and restored. As you step into this next season, alignment will break out around you. One open door will lead to another open door to another. There is great acceleration of kingdom purposes in your life, jump on board with what the Father is doing. The key is observing his hand and using discernment grown in the past season to now advance and “do what the Father is doing”.

WHAT WAS SENT TO DESTROY YOU HAS INSTEAD MADE YOU  Psalm 118 in Message continues….

17). “I didn’t die. I lived!     And now I’m telling the world what God did. 18). God tested me, he pushed me hard,     but he didn’t hand me over to Death. 19). Swing wide the city gates—the righteous gates!     I’ll walk right through and thank God! 20). This Temple Gate belongs to God,     so the victors can enter and praise.”

DREAM BIG. PLAN BIG. ENTER WITH PRAISE The church is entering a time of joy, quick victories and increase. Cities will be taken as God speaks to many about dreaming again and dreaming big. Those who have stood through the intensity of battle designed to destroy, instead will rise from the ashes with increased anointing and strength. What was sent to destroy you, has instead made you! This season has sharpened you and readied you. Dream big. Plan big. Take the plunge. Hearts have been tested and challenged and stretched. Character has been proven and grown. Deep works of the heart have been going on as the spirit has laboured to bring many into new healing and encounter. This season has required heart connection and demanded vulnerability to the Father.

CITIES AWAIT YOU SONS & DAUGHTERS, and gates of opportunity are open to you. Increase and favour are upon you. A wave of positive media attention will help turn the tone of the collective conversation. Stories of what God has done and his goodness will spread out and reap a city wide harvest of good where the enemy has tried to reap a harvest of division. God is turning the tide.

THIS IS NOT A SEASON OF DEMISE BUT A SEASON OF SUDDEN BREAKTHROUGH Enter the gates opening before you with a thankful heart. You will note a new ease and grace once you step through the doors before you. This is not a season of demise as the enemy would have you think, but a season of sudden breakthrough.

YOU HAVE NOT JUST SURVIVED. YOU HAVE BEEN PREPARED AND PROMOTED Be encouraged faithful, weary one. Be encouraged kingdom warrior. Be encouraged you have held on through the night. The Father celebrates your faithfulness and honours your courage. The Father is restoring hope and joy. The tide is turning and Gods hand is shifting things.

SWING WIDE YOU CITY GATES, THE PEOPLE OF GOD ARE ADVANCING Dream again with your Father. Look and see that new doors of opportunity and harvest are open before you. Step in and step out. You have not just survived the past battle, you have been prepared and promoted. Victory and harvest awaits. Swing wide you city gates, the people of God are advancing.
