With all that’s going on in the world, I am very encouraged as I watch the people of God rising up and pursuing God’s design of love and grace and reaching for their full potential of God's calling upon their lives. God said to his servant, king David, that in the day of his power his people would be willing. (Ps 110:3) I sense the tide rising; things are about the change! The world is longing for display of the real love of God! There are so many hurting people, so many who have been marginalized who have not experienced the pure love of God as described in the word of God! 

The enemy of hate, bitterness, and unforgiveness are real, but the glory of the Lord is rising upon the people of God! Isaiah saw our day and said this, “See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Isa 60:2 

We have seen the prophecies in the word of God come to pass, one after another, after another. Should we not believe that what God has promised will also surely come to pass? God indeed knows what he is doing, and what he has said will be fulfilled! The devil has not stepped in and somehow won! No! God is raising up a generation that will be consumed by his love and the world will know that we are his disciples by the way we love one another! Apostle Paul said to the Philippian church, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." Phil 1:6 Oh, yes! God, who started this amazing work in us, will carry it on to completion! 

Don’t be afraid; get excited! This is your time – it is God's final hour. Rise and take a stand! Now is the time to fully immerse yourself into God's divine purpose for your life! Excitement is rising in my spirit because I am convinced that the glory of the LORD is about to be revealed in the earth and upon you! Oooohhhh, Yaaaeeesss! The body of Christ is getting ready for its greatest hour! Prepare. Pursue. Get ready because it is coming! How do I know? Because I can clearly see that… 

THE TIDE IS RISING!
