Over the last few weeks, I have been hearing the Lord speaking about “inner turmoil” that is taking place in the hearts of many believers right now.
The Lord showed me that this ‘inner turmoil’ within many is for many different reasons and is stemming from different things in the hearts of many of His people. Some are experiencing ‘inner turmoil’ from pain, trauma, grief and disappointment. Others are facing ‘inner turmoil’ because of circumstances they are finding themselves in. Others are facing ‘inner turmoil’ because of weariness and burn out. The list of areas of ‘inner turmoil’ that the Lord showed me went on. The focus of what the Lord was revealing was that He is ministering to these ones that are finding their hearts in a place of ‘inner turmoil’.
There is a call deeper into the secret place that these ones are sensing and feeling because the Lord is going to bring a rest, a deep rest that they have not known before. The Lord spoke to me that as they lean in, as they lay themselves down before the Lord and allow the Holy Spirit to come and minister into those areas of ‘inner turmoil’ within, that as they partner with Him in the leading of His Spirit in dealing with this inner turmoil, that they will move into a realm of supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding. (Philippians 4:6-7)
The Lord showed me that in this place of encounter He was bringing these ones into a place of deeper understanding of trusting Him, of ‘casting cares’ upon Him, a deeper place of prayer, a deeper place of surrender and allowing His Spirit to heal, restore, and put turmoil to rest.
The Lord showed me that there were many that were carrying this ‘inner turmoil’ within and the Lord spoke to me that they have carried it for a long time. They have lived with the ‘inner turmoil’ continuing to swirl within their hearts for many, many years. They have learned to ‘live’ with this constant feeling of wrestling and inner turmoil within them. Some of these ones are now beginning to see the inner turmoil manifesting in greater ways in their body through physical ailments and physical symptoms, but take heart if that’s you, because the Lord is bringing healing to you.
I heard the Holy Spirit say,
“I am going to the heart. I am going to the root. I am going to heal them from the inside, out. This is their year of wholeness, this is their year of healing, this is the year where they will step into a greater understanding and manifestation of what it is to live FULLY ALIVE (John 10:10) in Me and to now live with ‘constant concern’.
They will walk in supernatural peace that I purchased for them at Calvary, and they will no longer be weighed down and marked by ‘constant cares’. I am decreeing that a major shift is taking place in their lives by the power of My Spirit, bringing that inner turmoil to rest and marking them with My peace.”
The level of inner turmoil that I saw many carrying brought tears to my eyes, it was such a heavy weight, that many even though they had ‘smiles’ on their faces for all to see, they were battling a level of inner torment and turmoil that no one has seen. But HE has seen. He is coming as the relentless pursuer to love them to life. The words continued to surround me loudly, “I am LOVING THEM BACK TO LIFE!!!! No more broken hearts.”
When the Lord spoke those words, I saw the broken hearts all across the body of Christ and I saw the ‘hidden broken hearts’. Those that were carrying broken hearts that no one knew about it, they would cry and battle alone behind closed doors. The sadness they carried was deep. But now, Jesus steps in. I watched as He breathed upon their hearts and their deep mourning was healed and turned to great joy. (Isaiah 61:3)
He whispered again to each one: “REST IN MY BREATH! REST IN MY RHEMA.”
He began to speak words of life over them. Each word full of His love, full of hope, piercing truth to shatter strongholds and ignite life. Where inner turmoil had weighed them down, where they had felt like ‘shells of their former selves’ because this inner turmoil day by day had been eating away at them, as He spoke, each word He spoke, as they breathed in His breath, His life, His rhema, they were being loved back to life. They were coming back to life and the deepest rest in Him and His rhema that they had ever experienced was rebuilding them from the inside out. The great awakening to their identity as a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and a son and daughter of the Most High was being ignited in them like never before.
THEY BEGAN TO REMEMBER AGAIN…
As Jesus spoke, as He was loving them back to life, they began to remember again. They began to remember the dreams, the promises laid down. They began to remember the joy of first love. They began to remember the joy of abundant life before the inner turmoil began to steal hope, peace, joy and life from within them. They began to enter the divine dance with the Beloved again in the steps of joy and deep peace.
Friend, today, if you are one struggling with deep inner turmoil, take heart the Lord has seen the deep turmoil, the wrestle, the struggle, the pain that no one else has seen in its fullness. The tears you have cried and He has not turned a blind eye or deaf ear. Jesus is here and He is drawing you deeper into the secret place, into His heart, to embrace you and life you back to life and love you into wholeness and healing. Surrender into His arms and allow Him to work deeply on your heart, allow His Spirit to minister to you. Partner with Him in your yielding. He is bringing that inner turmoil to rest. You will not know this deep inner turmoil any longer, but in encounter with Jesus, you will be marked by peace, joy and hope. Where that inner turmoil was, LIFE will now reside, HEALING will reside. You will begin to BELIEVE again. You will begin to DREAM again. You will begin to HOPE again. You will not walk around carrying deep sadness within, but explode with joy in the abundant life that is yours in Christ.
This is your time, your divinely appointed moment for wholeness. This is your time of encounter with Jesus to come FULLY awake and FULLY alive and rediscover again, the amazing YOU that He created you to be in Him.

Lana, I am one of those with “deep inner turmoil.” I’m at the point where the first decision I have to make every morning is whether or not I go out in the yard and end it with a bullet. I am tired beyond words, and my anectdotal experience is that God is nowhere to be found. I am 65 with a wife to care for. My business has failed, I have NO money, or hope of any in the near-term, I am exhausted waiting for an apparently indifferent God to show up, and do SOMETHING, ANYTHING He said He would do. I just wish everyone would quit making excuses for Him. I no longer buy it!
God is faithful to keep ALL His promises and that’s the truth regardless of whether or not anyone believes it. Our problems are all on our end, not His. God has already done all He ever needs to do for us, but our problem is we don’t believe Him so we don’t receive what He has done. We humans have a tendency to think way too highly of ourselves. True humility is all too rare but it’s what we all need so God can open our blind eyes to see the truth.
Bill,
Some years ago, I told myself no matter how bad the situation I fallen in, I will pray the Lord. There were a few times I ended in that kind of situation. A lot of bad feeling fallen on me. I cry out to praise the Lord Jesus Christ with the tear in my eyes. The Lord has word for me that ” people will push you down, but I’ll make you stand. ” some years ago. So I know there will be bad things happen to me.
I don’t have the inner turmoil. In your situation, you cannot be waiting. Let me explain the principle in this. I met a pastor in the past. He told one of his own story. He used to be bound in a wheel chair . Then he quote the healing verses from the bible and waiting for God to heal him and raising him up from the wheelchair. He waited for some time. Nothing happen. Then he suddenly understand he has already been healed by God. He can not sit in the wheelchair still waiting for God to heal him. So he started make plans to make his muscle strong in the gym. In the process, then the total healing was manifested.
If you have a pastor, you can ask your pastor to pray for you over your financial difficulty and declare the financial blessing is coming to you. But when he pray, you must understand the pastor has two identities. One he is a human. The other one he is representative of God. So when he pray, you must know and remember it is God speaking to you through the pastor’s mouth. Before you ask your pastor to pray to you, you can pray to God first and ask God to put His word in the mouth of the pastor who you are going to ask to pray for you. After the pastor has prayed for you, then you set your mindset to what the pastor has said ( as God have said ), and keep thanking God for solving your problem — in the process there will be thoughts of doubt came to you, and you must keep declaring that God’s word is never empty. ( That’s test of your faith. )
Do not use your physical senses to believe, but use faith to believe.
Use the end-result ( image in your mind ) ( God have solved your problem ) to believe, to thank God.
Hi Bill. I have been lifting you in prayer since I read your comment last night. I understand that trapped feeling and broken confidence from a failed business and financial lack. I was embarrassed at being in that place yet not able to change my circumstance. Life began to be distasteful because of the hopelessness, and I struggled with suicidal thoughts though I had been a Christian for 3 years. Sometimes I was even sarcastic in my conversations with God.
One morning I was depressed as all get out and hanging clothes on the outside line. Someone had thrown a blue bowl at the edge of the yard, and I thought to myself, ‘that pig couldn’t throw that plastic bowl away in the garbage but had to throw it in the yard. Now, I’ll have to throw it away when I’m done here.”
Suddenly, an intellectually disabled girl came riding by on a clunky bicycle. I never saw her before. She screeched the brakes and hopped off her bike. She picked up that plastic blue bowl, inspected it carefully, then lifted it up and started waving it in the sky shouting,,” Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus!” Boy, did I feel the rebuke of the LORD.
Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning. Hoping for you that this dark night of the soul will give way to the morning’s joy. Lana’s word certainly is timely….and keep your eye out on that plastic blue bowl.
IF YOU KNEW THE PLANS THE lORD HAS FOR YOU, ALL YOUR TEARS WOULD BE TEARS OF JOY. BELIEVE WHAT HIS WORD SAYS WHILE YOU LIVE ONE MOMENT AT A TIME.
Thank-you. I receive this Word.
I’m taking this word, this has been the cry of my heart as I have cried out for healing with every fiber of my being. Thank you
I claim it with you! This is exactly what I’ve been dealing with and have been praying for.
Thank you so much, Lana, for sharing what the Lord showed you. Your message resonates powerfully with me and with that, brings great comfort. Blessings.
Awesome word Lana
