As I was praying, I felt the Holy Spirit all around me – and I began to write what was on the Lord’s heart.
We are in a season of rebuilding. Many have worked hard to get to this point. It is a God appointed time that we are in. In order for us to rebuild, we must first take ground back that the enemy has stolen. We must occupy what the Lord is leading us to.
The definition of occupy is “to fill, use, or exist in a place or time.” (dictionary.cambridge.org)
I also found the Biblical definition of occupy. It means “to invest with the intent of increase.” (Christianliving.com)
Jesus tells us in Luke 19:13 to occupy until He comes. We are to fill, use, or exist in a place of time – and we are to invest with the intent of increase.
He not only wants us to take ground – fill and use it, He also wants us to invest with the intent of increase. If we obey this command, He will bless us in a mighty way.
So many things have to take place to be in the right place at the right time – and that is where we are at. We are in the right place, and it is the right time. God has helped us get to this point – this place in time, and we have to grab onto the opportunities that are coming from Heaven.
It’s time to take ground and occupy what the Lord has placed before us. Amen!
As I was praying, worshipping, and writing – I was taken in the spirit to a giant field. As I was standing there, I looked up and suddenly tens of thousands of seeds began to fall from the sky. They fell all around me. They hit the ground one by one, and it started to rain. It was a gentle rain, and I watched in awe as the seeds began to sprout.
Jesus appeared next to me, and He said, “This ground you are standing on is fertile. It has been made ready with much toil and labor. Many things took place to get it ready for the seeds to be planted.
It was previously occupied by the enemy, but many of you fought in the spirit realm to destroy the evil that was here. That hard-fought battle was won, and the land was cleansed and prepared for new growth.
This is going to take place all over the earth. My remnant is awake – and as they continue to pray, stand, and fight – together we are taking ground the enemy has stolen. And as we move forward, you will occupy this freshly toiled ground.
Seeds will be planted. There will be new growth – new buildings and new homes.
I have made you ready for what is to come. I have prepared you to take ground and occupy. As you occupy, I will increase everything around you. My blessings will flow – and you will experience many NEW things.
We will plant seeds together. We will build together. We will INCREASE together!
All the hopes and dreams I have placed within you are going to bubble up within you again. You will ask, ‘What is this? I can’t seem to contain it! What do I do, Lord?’
And I will say to you, ‘Take ground and occupy what I have for you. It has always been there, and now is the time for you to fulfill what I have called you to do – what I have created you for!’
Now is the time – this is the day to take ground and occupy.
As the enemy is defeated day by day – I have commanded him to give back what he has stolen. I am making it ready and available to you, My children.
Go! Occupy what I have for you. Do not hesitate! Go get what is already yours.
All you have to do is ask Me, and I will guide you directly to it.
It’s already yours. Go get it!”
Yes! The Lord is making it plain and simple for us. We have been working hard to remove the evil all around us. We have prayed. We have fought. We are still praying – still fighting. We have forged through the fire and the rubble. We have lost so much because of our enemy.
But now it’s time to take it back. It almost seems unreal that this is what God is asking us to do. We are so used to the fighting – used to the hurt, pain, frustration, anger, and tears – so used to losing.
But not anymore. God is changing everything. He is flipping the script!
We need to get used to winning! Amen! There will be many challenges ahead of us, but it will be different than we have ever experienced before – and it will be wonderful and exciting!
God has made us ready. This is our year to take ground and occupy – invest with the intent of increase. It’s time to go and get what God has prepared for each one of us. Let’s build something different – something better! Let’s welcome God into every part of this rebuilding process.
Let’s change our future together – make it better for our children and grandchildren. Let’s teach them about Jesus – what He did for us, why He died for us. Let’s move forward together as we take ground and occupy! Amen!
In His love,
Kathy
