The atmosphere is charged with a knowing that we are in an “Appointed Time”. This is a holy, set apart, history-changing moment! You can feel the Wind (the Breath of God, the Spirit of God) blowing, and life has come! Everything around us may appear to be lifeless, yet life has come. Even the Body of Christ itself seems to be void of true life, but I hear the Lord saying, “Though they were dead, yet shall they live!”
In the midst of this chaotic moment in time, the chaos is about to become order as the King steps in to reclaim His church! There is a rumbling, a shaking, a movement. The alarm is sounding, and the “sleeping giant” is awakening. The Glorious Church, His church that the “gates of hell cannot prevail against”, is emerging from the place of complacency and timidity with a force that will revive this nation and provoke an awakening to an awareness of God as the Wind (the Breath of God, the Spirit of God) blows through His Body with power and demonstration of His unavoidable Glory! Just as His natural body awakened and rose from that tomb, so His Body, His Church, is awakening and rising from the lifeless state we have been in, and the power demonstrated through His resurrected Body will now shake and awaken this nation, this world!
To the church today, the Lord is saying with fervency, “Awake! Awake! Put on (be clothed in) My Strength! Take your place! Arise! Though you were dead, yet you shall live, and through you I will manifest My Glory! As you arise, I will arise, and every enemy will scatter! You have entered a new era. Watch and see and be amazed by what I will do in days ahead through My Awakened Body!”
