I have been feeling the Lord’s heart with so much more intensity lately, that we are in the season where He is leaving us AMAZED and ASTONISHED by His marvellous ways and works in ways we have never seen or imagined.
Habakkuk 1:5 has been burning in me:
“Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days– You would not believe if you were told.”
I feel the invitation from the Lord so strongly to LOOK at the nations right now, and LOOK PAST the darkness and the turbulence and look at what He is doing. BE OBSERVANT!!! You will be left ASTONISHED and in WONDER of Him!
The IMPOSSIBILITIES in nations are ABOUT TO BOW to the name of Jesus Christ as the people of God continue to CRY OUT!!!! Keep crying out and interceding for your nation, God is doing AMAZING things that are about to be revealed in a greater way that will leave you in AWE!! You will BEHOLD Him and His perfect ways!
“I AM MOVING ON A GRAND SCALE”
I kept hearing the words “I AM MOVING ON A GRAND SCALE” and as I heard it I saw the nations, and then I saw the eyes of the Lord ZOOM DOWN to PIN POINT His people, and I saw Him looking at each of His children INDIVIDUALLY. Instantly I was surrounded by the sense of this being the season where He is going to move on a GRAND SCALE in the lives of His children individually AND in the nations.
As I pondered the words “GRAND SCALE” before the Lord and asking Him what He was emphasising, I felt the Lord say “MY MOVES and DEMONSTRATIONS will be LOUD in many ways in this season.” I really pressed in to understand what He was saying as I have felt the Lord emphasising the body of Christ needing eyes to see and ears to hear in this season; to hear His whisper and to recognise Him when He shows up in ways we don’t expect. As I pondered this with Him, I heard Him say “EXTRAVAGANT!!”
DEFINITION OF EXTRAVAGANT: “Exceeding what is reasonable; appropriate; elaborate” (Google.com)
The Lord is about to DEMONSTRATE HIS EXTRAVAGANCE!!!!! There is going to be DOUBLE PORTION DEMONSTRATIONS of PROVISION, FAVOR, INCREASE and manifestations of His power to bring SUDDEN ALIGNMENT, RESTORATION, RESTARTS, VINDICATION, UNIFICATION, HEALING and FREEDOM.
“I am about to show My people how I love to LAVISH!!!! I am about to show My people that I AM THE GOD OF THE “OVER THE TOP!!!”. I am about to show My people that I am the God of ABUNDANCE!!! I AM THE GOD OF EPHESIAN 3:20!!!
The words on the lips of My people is about to be “EXCEEDED!!! EXCEEDED!!! HE EXCEEDED!!!!” Tears of joy, gratitude and thankfulness, worship at levels not experienced before will BURST FORTH from My people as they see how I have EXCEEDED ALL their expectations and dreams.”
“There have been many assaults, many snakes that have come in to attempt to strangle and suck the life out of My people and their dreams BECAUSE of what I am doing, but NO MORE. I am moving and about to RELEASE EXTRAVAGANCE!!! THERE WILL BE EASE IN THE EXTRAVAGANCE!!!”
“My people, GUARD YOUR HEARTS in this EXTRAVAGANT BREAKTHROUGH!!! For there will be such LOUD DEMONSTRATIONS of My provision, favor, breakthrough, increase and move of My Spirit that the enemy will attempt to hook into wounded areas of the heart and soul to whisper lies to you to attempt to breed jealousy within you. KNOW that I am moving deeply in your hearts and souls, awakening your identity in ME but you MUST guard your hearts and CELEBRATE with one another. For My EXTRAVAGANCE will MANIFEST in DIFFERENT WAYS in each of your lives individually and in the nations, but My GOODNESS and breakthrough will be demonstrated in SEEING ME and My power!!!!”
“HERE I AM AND HERE I COME, THE GREAT I AM, THE GOD WHO EXCEEDS!!!!!”

Z3,
I believe we can also position ourselves to receive a blessing by blessing Israel. Consider looking at the article on this site about the Field of Lentils.
http://www.christiantreasury.org/content/its-just-field-lentiles
There is a spiritual battle going raging before the 20th of January. We can take a stand now.
Shalom!
I came across this article about Amazon’s new cashier-free convenience store and was blown away on how the future is now. “no man can buy sell or trade.” http://www.theverge.com/2016/12/5/13842592/amazon-go-new-cashier-less-convenience-store
Revelation 13:17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Why not…. everyone is talking about the clothing in the picture, I thought I’ll take look. Do you see? Upper right corner in the clouds? Baby on its back with its mouth open. At least half a baby. Of course someone is going to notice the shorts in the picture, it was designed that way. Close your eyes, now open them and look at the picture. First thing you notice? There is a white spec between her legs. Doesn’t belong. Why is there an upside down triangle shadow on her legs but one white speck? You think that is an accident? Who runs this world? Notice her hands out and legs crossed? Look familiar? It should because it is mocking the death of our Lord on the cross.
Do you see? I don’t have financial prophetic dreams but the Lord was gracious enough to grant me the gift of knowledge. Thank you for the post Lana. As for the picture, this is everywhere, 24/7 in our society we just don’t see it. Put on your armor EVERYDAY.
God Bless
For those who think I’m crazy zoom in on the spot between her legs as close as you can….. Do you see? It is a cross. Boom! Mic drop…..
I always wanted to do that! Lol
It’s good to be astute about hidden messages in movies, TV, advertisements and even a single picture on Z3, BUT I think it would be great if everyone guarded any humor that could be construed or misconstrued as worldly.
Most likely, many people around the world view this site that never comment.
Perhaps some are non-believers. Let’s be a GREAT EXAMPLE for all, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Let’s remember, we’re SET APART in the things that we laugh at, too.
No offense meant Peggy. I understand what you are saying. And just like I don’t understand most other things many won’t be able to see this. After my original post I said to the Lord that they won’t believe this and then the cross jumped out at me. Need an iPad to zoom in. This is how the Lord confirmed my belief, first through secular music and then through visual advertising. Once you see it will blow your mind.
God Bless
There will be a breakthrough…but not till there’s a breakdown. Batten down the hatches, it’s coming!
Amen, Ken. I agree.
I read this word and began to read some of the comments last night and was deeply disturbed in my spirit. Today I’m prompted to respond. I’m astounded at the arrogance and foolishness flowing from those that would claim to be filled with the Spirit of God and that believe their comments are an expression of maturity and wisdom. If you do not want what is stated in this word don’t worry because you will not receive it. However at least display enough self control to keep your caustic words and ignorance to yourself. In the midst of great darkness our God will pour out His Spirit and His glory will rise upon us. He will cause us to thrive and prosper according to His perfect will for His kingdom and the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ!!
Amen Michael!!
Amen Michael! If we as Brothers and Sisters in Christ can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything at all!
Yes he will Michael
Once again, spot on! This is similar to what I’ve been hearing and sensing in my spirit concerning the ministry I’m in, and personally. Thank you for sharing and being sensitive to His voice. I am blessed and encouraged! I always look forward to your posts!
Lana, I have seen this in a dream I had a few years back. In my dream something had happen and a lot of people were in need of help and it was causing all these people to cry out to God and turn to Christians. We were doing miraculous healings and had supplies for people. Just last night I was reading in the book of Acts how the apostles were healing people and casting out demons, but they spent a lot of time in prayer also, they shared with one another also if there was a need, this is what we need again a church of Acts. And I believe we will soon see more here in the United States like they already do in other countries but most times it comes through persecutions
I love the outfit and would totally wear that! I think it’s a lovely picture! Carefree… I’ve been rockin my pjs and my trusty old sweat suit more recently. But thats my standard attire in the warmer months. I’m sad to realize I would be judged so harshly for being cute and comfy. Guys, we need to look at ourselves and get our eyes off others. These are critical times we can’t be policing the world. Especially not a cartoon world. We need to judge ourselves and “our hearts” how will we win people to Christ if we are so legalistic and religious there is a whole world of real people out there that are lost wearing less than that. and Jesus loves them! He wants to use you to show them love and bring them into his kingdom. I sincerely and humbly present that it is “your” insecurities/lust. and heart that needs to be brought before the lord. Because God judges us alone. If that cartoon girl in the picture was trying to create lust and insecurity in you, then God would judge her. According to what’s in her heart. Thankfully she is just a cartoon and has no heart. God offends the mind to reveal the heart.
What is wrong with obeying Scripture and dressing modestly?
I Timothy 2:9-10
…(9)In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; (10)But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works…
I believe this scripture modestly speaks to not being extravagant in our dress ? and it’s saying or at least it says to me don’t dress to impress but be clothed in good works.
I’m thinking these shorts don’t show anything wrong,
But your a man and maybe you sense this is inappropriate for women.
Hmmmm someone to ponder and ask the Father
It’s hard to believe that things could get so good, as of the last 2 weeks I’ve had my computer hacked, our truck that we thought we got a good deal on has cost us our entire savings this year to keep it running, and yesterday it quit. Our riding mower quit, now we have no way to haul firewood. We ran out of work for the rest of the winter too. I have been pounded lately and reached my limit today. It’s just hard for me to believe things are going to get lavish and great, oh and I forgot, someone whom I entrusted with $1,500.00 to invest stole it from me this time last year and took off. That I thought was a close christian friend. I know God can work miracles but it seems like I’m falling back into that old rut of praying for something specifically and instead of an answer (or as the scripture says, ‘would he hand you a serpent if you ask for a loaf of bread’? Well, it’s been the serpent lately every time. It would be a wonderful surprise to see things turn around for a change, I’m all for it.
Nancy, God bless your broken heart! You must be doing something right or you might not be in the enemies bulls eye. I will not only pray for you I want to give you the key to victory. “Worship”. Eek out what your broken heart can manage. It sounds trite. But I just want to share. I was really struggling with drawing close to God and I had been under stack for nearly a year. Certain aspects of my life for 6 years. Crazy awful stuff. And last spring. We came home and long story short there was a piece of straw and it broke my back. I broke down and sobbed and sobbed and I took a stand. And I started thanking Jesus for hell on earth. That we at least weren’t doomed to an eternity in hell. I was angry shivering gritting my teeth snorting all over the place mad! mad and sobbing. But I’m telling you when I made this stand. And declared no matter what or how bad I hated it I would do what was right if the rest of my life was hell. I didn’t care. That thing broke!!! God cares about you! Worship him. Rejoice in all your tribulations they are training us for the things to come. I love you Nancy and I’m crying with you and lifting you up worship. And forgive!!!
Again Amen Guild I agree, when I can’t take anymore I turn my sorrow into praise and the floodgates of heaven opens. Sometimes my circumstances do not change but my heart does and man the peace that comes with that.
One night after coming home from work feeling defeated and another I can’t do this anymore. I cried out to God, and said I give it all to you, and what a light bulb moment that was, and then I heard God say, “What took you so long.”
Hi Michelle, this is so powerful in your post ….. “Sometimes my circumstances do not change but my heart does and man the peace that comes with that.”
God is after our heart, Amen.
Thank you for that Guild and Michelle! I feel better today. And last night I was searching my e-mails and found a post by Nathan Leal (www.watchmanscry.com) that had gone into my ‘promotions’ file, I don’t check that very often. He had sent it out on Thanksgiving, and it was so encouraging, it was all about being thankful even in the most trying circumstances. It felt like God wanted me to find that then. I know things will get better, I said a specific prayer Sunday for God to work in our life and provide through the winter since our savings that we live on is gone, and boy did the devil come at me with both guns! I haven’t even given God a chance to act yet! So I have ‘readjusted’ my thinking and am going to BE thankful for what I do have. We still have our health, a roof over our head and one decent vehicle! We have a young family in our church that just lost everything to a fire, including all their Christmas presents and their pet!
I am grateful and thankful that I do have a home, even if I don’t know for how long (long story) but that God will take care of that in His time too. I have made a commitment to do what I can to help our local ministry food bank and thrift shop through the winter, no matter how little it may be. I had donated a whole bunch of Christmas stuff this summer, and I went over there Monday, and they had all of that out and people were picking all through it. It makes you feel good when you can help others less fortunate, and it is humbling! I agree one of the best things you can do is get your mind off of your own problems and concentrate on others and what you can do to help. Thank you all again!
Nancy, I can totally relate to what your going through and so appreciate reading the encourag end form others here! This has been a very hard year for us on so many fronts, we have had hard times in the past but nothing like it is now. Hardest part for me has been the possibility of loosing our home,but this past weekend our church had an even to help warm clothes and food for the homeless that we participated in and it really helped to give me a better perspective. God is so good and our hope is secure
I know exactly what you mean. It was so funny yesterday, we went down to try to see what was going on with our truck, and it started right up! Go figure. My hubby drove it home with me following (just in case) and made one stop, no problem, got it home. Then last night, my neighbor called and had a deer for us, so he went down to get it, no problem. Then he backed into the drive, tied the rope onto the truck to be able to pull the deer up to skin it. Then guess what, the truck died again! I actually find it humorous at this point, you know after awhile you have to have a laugh! So at the moment it won’t start again.
And he has me blocked in with the jeep too! But again, I can relate cause we lost our home back in 2008 right before the bubble burst, first we lost our car, then the house and all of my sweet animals, we had a hobby farm. Got a double wammy then. But I did survive. We’re were at now, I feel like God wants us here, but at the moment we can’t even pay our payment. I mean, we literally have $19.00 in the checkbook and $10.00 cash in my wallet. So when it comes to relying on God, that is exactly what we have to do. We have a fishing service and we are used to no work in the winter and usually have to save enough money during the year to make it through the winter. My entire savings that I did save ($6,000.00) went into the house and the truck. So here we are right before Christmas. Not to ramble on, but my point is, I guess no matter how bad it gets, God is still there and you just have to be patient and wait on Him. Each of these trials has taught me that whatever is coming it is for a reason, if nothing else to make us stronger for the next trial. I have a best friend that I grew up with that is in a wheelchair and lost the lower part of her left leg to diabetes, and can’t do a thing, so I am grateful I still have my health. I think God is teaching me (all of us) to just be thankful for what we do have and try not to look at what we don’t have. Everything is for a reason.
Oh, actually it was a ‘triple wammy’ because that same week my sister in law (husbands sister) and her husband had a horrible motorcycle wreck and were both airlifted to the hospital in Springfield, MO. Right slap in the middle of us trying to figure out where in the world we were going to move to in 2 weeks time. Try having to move 20 years of stuff in 2 weeks. I was actually in shock for awhile but I did survive!!!
Nancy I’m not a mechanic. But check your voltage regulator. They are inexpensive. It’s a small part that is like a go between from your ignition switch to your alternator. Your husband should be able to switch it out pretty easily??? I mean I don’t know??? I don’t know what year your truck is but this you describe sounds like it to me. could also be the wiring going to or from the voltage regulator. Again I don’t know for sure but a possible lead often overlooked
Guild, it’s a 88 Silverado. Just had a rebuilt engine put in it this summer. He thought it was the fuel pump, and it’s located under the gas tank. My brother in law is a mechanic and is coming down tomorrow to look at it. I will tell them, thanks.
Nancy, your post had 2 clues of something to check out on your truck that could be an easy fix. 1. ” and it started right up” and 2. “the truck died again.” A clogged fuel filter will do both of these things to a vehicle. If a vehicle is running then suddenly dies it could be a clog in the fuel filter….once it sets (off) for a while the fuel leaves the line and engine. This sometimes removes the clog and the vehicle magically starts again.
I was notorious for buying cheap gas as a teenager and poor college student and cannot count the times I clogged up the fuel line. My poor dad had to rescue me numerous times. He would come out, pop the hood, locate the fuel filter (usually on the side of the engine), remove 2 screws, take the filter out and then turn it upside down and blow out the clog. Then replace it and poof it magically started. I will never forget the fatherly look he would give me…something to the effect of…really?….again?
The other way you can clog up a fuel filter is by running really low on gas. You wind up sucking sediment (sometimes found at the bottom of your fuel tank…especially in older vehicles) into the fuel line that then clogs the filter. I was notorious for both, almost running out of gas and buying cheap gas.
As I listened to Prophet Russian Walden’S word for December, one line stood out to me, “dance in advance”. Praise and worship in dire times is the sacrifice of praise. We are experiencing a decline in our finances too and it is a real challenge. Our computer hard drive crashed just this week but thank God for Carbonite. Our God is just like that, He has all our tears and our prayers stored in his “cloud “.
Sherry, I will confirm what you shared. Yesterday the devotional I read for 12/7 was all about standing on the Word AND offering up a sacrifice of praise while standing on the Word during tough times. Important to do both not just one or the other. Praise the Lord! He is good.
Blessings, Corrine
Nancy, I have been where you are and sometimes when the devil beats us down it is hard to look up, this is why we need a Christian community around us not fake but real God fearing Christians. I am praying for you today that God shows up in a mighty way that you and other will have to say this was God, I never saw this coming. I rebuke the devourer off your house and speak blessings and any door that may have been opened unaware we call them to be closed in the name of Jesus Christ.
Praying and standing with you Nancy.
Nancy sorry to hear about all your hardships. Sounds like you must be living right because you seem to be under attack. In a loving way may I suggest every morning you verbally put on the armor of God. I do and I still struggle with some things but I have definitely noticed that I am able to walk among deceiving serpents untouched. God Bless and I know this will help.
Thank you Todd, I am still learning and you are right. I know that if we can praise God even in the middle of trials He is pleased. And put on the whole armor of God. I keep my Bible and daily reading next to my chair so it’s there first thing in the morning.
I didn’t know where to post this but here is a real eye opener for how brainwashed and depraved society has become!

Sandra,
Thank-you for posting.
Heaven’s RULES are in the Holy Bible. Those rules are the STANDARD, eternally in the Heavens. Without passing judgment on people or individuals, we can certainly judge their BEHAVIOR and if it lines up with Heaven’s RULES or not.
We judge the behavior in order to WARN. We are also led by the Holy Spirit in all things for the guidance to deal with lost people manifesting slight or severe departure from these RULES.
If we don’t STAND for Heaven’s RULES, we will FALL for ANYTHING!
