Dear Changing Saints,

Recently in the midst of all the changes, the Lord began to speak to me about a "Triumphant Reserve." As I shared recently on Sunday, the Spirit of God overwhelmed us with His Presence in our midst with prophetic utterance and new songs (below). The following is so key for you to read and embrace as we enter this new season:

The Triumphant Reserve

"The time is now that I will call forth My reserve that I have been preparing. This reserve has been in the wings and on the shelves waiting for Me to say the word that will draw them from the wilderness. The time is now! The time is now! The time is now!

"The waiting has produced a power and a glory that has not been seen in this reserve that will now come forth triumphantly. There is a beauty that will come forth in this holy array when I speak. Many will say, 'Who is this coming up from the wilderness?'

"When they begin their journey from captivity, they will radiate with a strength and power that regions and territories have not known before. They will be a changed remnant. You have been designated as one of the Triumphant Reserve.

"You will stand in the midst of great confusion, and a torrent season of great grace and wisdom will be displayed like a multi-colored coat to all the principalities around you.

"There is a beauty that I bring when I come. This mantle will unfurl before you and encompass you in a new way. You have not understood how your freedom and glory has been furled and the world has not been able to see who My People really are.

"I will bring changes in the next 14 months that will cause an unfurling. I am a God that watches every decision that is being made. I am the God of history. I am the God of the present. I am the God of the future. I have seen decisions in the past that will now unfurl. But now, you will see Me take the past and present and unfurl your future.

"I am setting a new order to secure an inheritance that is under scrutiny and attack. Return to your holy abiding place, for you have allowed your emotions to become fragmented and separated. There must be holiness in My remnant people in this hour to wear the mantle that I AM unfurling."

A new song broke out:

The sound of change is now upon us.
A sound of change invades the earth,
The sound of wisdom flowing down,
Sound of grace coming down as a crown.
The sound of change is now upon us,
A sound of change, a new day.

I will return you to your place of victory.
I will return you to the place of your rest.
I will return you to your place of victory.
I will return you to the place of your rest.

It's a love that doesn't care about my past.
It's a love that says don't look back.
It's a love that wants to wrap you in His arms.
It's a love that doesn't care about my past.
It's a love that doesn't look back.

Come forward. Come forward,
Because I love you.
It's a love that covers my past.
It's a love that covers my past.
No, I don't have to look back.
He died to cover my past.
-Meredith Mauldin and John Dickson

Return to a Place of Divine Rest

"There is now a divine return in the earth that My people must take, for they must step back and watch Me go before them. I'm a God that goes before you and you must understand that I know the way this day. Step back before your path begins to split into ways that would cause My army not to align properly. Step back and return to your place of rest.

"Return to a place of divine rest in Me. I will cause faith that has been bottled and stopped up in you to arise and surface in a key time and place. I will cause your mission to come into a new order. There is a divine return.

"My people must stay in their abiding place. When the enemy pulls you out of My place of abiding, no matter how righteous the cause seems, when you leave the indwelling power of My presence, this will give the enemy the right to move into places and seep into places that I do not want you to allow. This will form an administration that gives the enemy right to rule.

"This is a time that I am returning a people into a place so they can be called forth in a new way. There's a new form of worship. There's a new cry in My heart for a people to change the way they have worshipped and sacrificed in the past. Come before Me and hear in a new way. Listen intently.

"This is a time that you must rise up. You must come up and ascend into a place you've not been before. Bend down and worship that you might come up. This is a time that without your submission you will not see the movement of My Spirit in the earth realm."

I Am Brooding...

"I AM brooding over many areas in the earth - government, economic and spiritual structures - and changing the structures of how these systems have operated in past seasons. Remove from your heart anything that is above Me. Any strategy or any goal that you have above Me must be removed.

"You must have freedom in your heart in days ahead. This new freedom will cause you to follow in the way that I WILL instruct you. The cry of freedom and the need to worship will save you in the days ahead. You have been a people that have set your freedom upon the civil authorities that have been over you. But I say come to a more excellent way of understanding freedom. You don't understand the workings of the governments of the world.

"Rise up, for your freedom is not in a man's voice but your freedom is in a relationship with My voice. Listen. Listen. Listen. Listen - you must know My voice this hour. It is I who will lead you out of bondage. It is I who will bring you through the door of your future. Know My voice and long to become one with Me in days ahead. Listen intently to those who are speaking what I am saying. Listen carefully to all and hear only ME."

Worship Me in a New Way

"Worship Me in a new way and get ready to ascend! (Keith Pierce). I see a chain on your legs. When you worship, the enemy is pulling you back. War against the chain that is working against you! As you press into worship, I am releasing the Keeper of the Keys to come down and unlock you, releasing you to ascend. I must have you in My Presence now!

"Press to ascend. Press to ascend. Cry out in worship and press to ascend. The day of ascension has come upon you because the Heaven is open. Rise to ascend. I have an orchestra that I am calling forth. There are sounds that are creating new harmonies in the earth. The harmonies in the earth are now changing. You must know the sound of My harmony in the midst of the chaos.

A new song broke out:

We're marching with Your harmony.
We're marching with Your harmony.
We're marching with Your harmony.
We will go where You're sending.

We're marching with Your harmony,
Marching with Your harmony.
We are marching with Your harmony.
We will go where you say,
Marching with Your harmony.

We hear Your voice and now we see Your way.
The sound - hear the sound.
The sound is pushing you forward.
Hear the sound.
The sound is pushing you forward.
Don't look back, you can't look back,
No strings attached;
Don't look back, no chains attached.

We're marching forth.
We won't turn back.
We're marching forth.
We won't turn back.
-Lauren Aubrey & Tammy Black

Get In Step with My Harmony

"There are sounds that are flowing through your blood. There are sounds that I am rearranging in the bloodlines of nations. Get in step with My harmony and the earth. I AM shaking nations into MY next order.

"Trees are clapping their hands and root systems are becoming renewed. Fruit that hasn't been seen in the last season will burst forth before the eyes of My people this year.

"I am building bridges that you must choose in days ahead. These bridges will be from one side to the other of schisms that have been created. Find that bridge of faith that you are to walk on. In the middle of it, I will meet you and raise you up to a new level. But you must walk. You will see the nations as I see the nations.

"The enemy has planted his toe within your heart. Now I am causing you to turn and look at him in the face, for it is only a toehold he has. He is trying to convince you that his foot is upon you. You have a word very near and nigh to you to speak. Speak the word and decree that his toehold from the past must go! Your foot now will go on top of his headship that has been ruling you."

A new song broke out:

There's a trembling before the army of the Lord,
A trembling before the army of the Lord.
The song is louder than terrible words.
A trembling goes before you.

It's a sound of trembling, of fury not hesitant,
A sound of trembling, of fury not hesitant.
Will you be known by your fury or hesitant?

It's the sound of the army whose King is the Lord.
This is the sound of the army whose King is the Lord.
-Aaron Smith & LeAnn Squier

Psalm 20:7:
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God."

It is in God that we put our trust. He is where we find our rest. All of our hope is in Him and His promises are sure. He will never leave us or forsake us and will keep us as we abide in His love.

John 15:9:
"As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love."

Some Trust in Chariots

While many are putting their trust in man for their deliverance, we must realize that our only hope is in the Lord our God. He is the One who dwells in the center, and all things revolve around Him and Him alone. If we will realize this, absorbing this revelation, we can then enter into a place where all that comes at us will also revolve around Him. When we have placed Him at the center of our hearts to reign on the throne of our lives, all things that we face must bow the knee to Him.

Philippians 2:10:
"...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in Heaven, and of those on Earth, and of those under the Earth..."

We function from another realm entirely that transcends the systems and idolatrous thinking of this world. We will have no other gods before us. It is a sight to see how many on the planet are looking for a person, someone or something to worship, but most refuse to acknowledge the only true God. Many have been caught up in the spirit of the world, sponging in soulish hope that is no hope at all, but simply the slight of deception. Many are looking for someone to lead them because they have lost sight of the Lord.

Just as it was with the children of Israel in the desert, many cry out "if God does not come on our terms we will find something or someone to worship and offer everything to him!" (see Exodus 32:8). Of course God never comes on our terms, but does things His way - so He will hand those who rebel against Him over to delusion, giving them over to their sin, iniquity and foolishness (see Romans 1:28). Our hearts must be solidified in the secret place with the Lord. It is only there that we will find true trust, commitment and security in the Lord (see Psalm 91).

Positioned to Praise

With all the transition happening in the earth, those who are positioned in praise before God will be the ones that glow with the glory from His throne. Praise is where our victory lies (see Psalm 22:3). We need to know and experience the spiritual realities of the Kingdom of Heaven in our hearts daily.

Praise brings us into such a place where we can experience the power of His love at all times.

God inhabits the praises of His people. We must be reminded of this daily in an experiential way, not just in Word. This requires us to set our hearts and minds in His direction. Our focus needs to be set upon Him, to glorify Him. As we do we will experience victory in our spirit.

Another factor to be aware of is the "noise" level in our souls. If we have a high noise level and have a hard time finding peace, our praise can be just "more noise." We should be asking the Lord to quiet the noise of our heart, anxiousness, frustrations, opinions and all the other stuff that clogs our connection with God.

Once you have pinpointed these things, offer them to the Lord, casting all of them before Him. We should divest ourselves of all concern, asking for His grace to do so. Then begin to lift our voices in praise, clapping our hands and dancing. There is a freedom in being able to worship in this way.

Isaiah 32:17
"The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever."

When this is combined with a "noiseless" soul, there can be deeper experiences with the Lord where the glory of His Presence is like a thick saturation through our beings.

In all these changes going on we need to remind ourselves that nothing is too difficult for the Lord. It is His glory to come in the difficult times and bring breakthrough and blessing, which makes our faith in Him that much stronger. This is really where the rubber meets the road and our faith is tested true as gold. In this place His glory shines the brightest.

Habakkuk 3:3-4:
"His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise. His brightness was like the light; He had rays flashing from His hand, and there His power was hidden."

Brightness is the place He desires to bring His people. He wants our faces to be radiant with His Presence, peace and love. Our connection with Him is solidified as we draw near to Him with pure hearts knowing that only He has the solutions of our days. What is impossible for man is possible with God. This is His delight, to show Himself strong on behalf of His people.

Working All Things Together

Romans 8:28:
"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."

We also must remind ourselves that God has a "no-fail" plan. We have the best plan imaginable because no matter what - all things work together for the good to them that love God and are the called according to His purposes. As long as we align ourselves with His heart and desires we cannot go wrong.

John 15:6-8:
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."

He is always there as our Father to see that the best comes out of every circumstance and situation. God is always reminding us of promises like these so that we can always stay in a place of faith and expectancy in what He will do. He is continually drawing us saying, "My child, come to Me and I will be your reward and meet your every need." He is not a father who would leave us. He will never leave us nor forsake us but will be with us in all places wherever we go.

Finding His Rest

Matthew 11:29:
"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."

Answers will many times evade us and this is why He entreats us not to seek the answers, but to seek Him. When we find Him we find rest for our souls. As we give Him the firstfruits of our time, He will reward us with the rest that can come no other way. If peace has been lost it is only because we have lost Him. He never leaves us.

He is always right there. To find the rest that He gives the connection must be restored. When this is restored there is a continual flow of His Spirit to water the earth of our hearts. His waters tenderize us and cause us to let all concerns fall away.

2 Chronicles 34:26-27:
"Thus says the LORD God of Israel: 'Concerning the words which you have heard - because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you,' says the LORD."

This life is a vapor and worry will only steal the goodness of God that is available to us as His family. His rest is our inheritance and leads us to a place of faith. It is His rest that awaits us in His living room. He is always ready and willing to minister His life to us.

Worship in the Glory!
