A Prophetic Instruction
Call on the Lord and wait – his timing is perfect.
Look past your circumstances and belief systems not agreeing with their projected outcomes
Lift your eyes and “SEE” with the night vision (John 11:9) of His Spirit who lives within you.
Receive what you SEE – allow your heart to be illuminated by God
Give thanks to God and worship Him
Call others out of their “tomb” of darkness
Loose them from their grave clothes
Cover them with the holy garments of the Love of God

Now to the ONE who constantly loves us and has loosed us from our sins by His own blood and to the ONE who has made us to rule as a kingly priesthood to serve his God and Father- to him be glory and dominion throughout the eternity of eternities! Amen!”
Rev 5:6
