Romans 8:19 “For all creation is waiting in eager expectation for the manifestation and revealing of the Sons of God.” We live in an astonishing moment in history where the world is desperate for hope, solutions, answers and positive change to come from somewhere in the midst of darkness and crisis. It is not only the people of the world who are crying out in anticipation for change – all of creation is also crying out. Creation itself is in a state of decay and rebellion and needs restoration the same as man does. Romans 8:21-22 “All of creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.”
When Adam and Eve fell in the garden and God cursed the ground, creation also fell with them. Effectively turning over the land rights of the earth to Satan, who is the most brutal and wicked of landlords, giving his subjects and the land little care or help. The keys to the earth were lost to Satan from Adam and Eve following their sin. This is why he could offer all the kingdoms of the earth to Jesus, as he was in control of them at that point before the cross. The enemy then had legal right to rule in the earth in his own wicked and destructive way. Leading to events like Noah’s Flood and Sodom & Gomorrah due to the level of wickedness under the enemy’s control in the earth. The earth and creation has been in a state of decay and death ever since and creation is desperately crying out for freedom and change.
This is why we see various natural disasters today and creation violently rebelling against man, causing death and destruction. Jesus had to rebuke the storm that rose up to destroy the disciples in the boat and cursed the fruitless fig tree. These are illustrations of the poor condition of creation and how Jesus had to take authority over them as they were not functioning as He had originally created them to. In Matthew 8:32 the demons were sent into a herd of pigs who immediately became suicidal and all leapt to their death. Again this shows how the devil influences creation and subjects it to death.
Even animals can be possessed and become destructive or be destroyed; this is how far creation has been affected by the fall and control of the enemy. Creation is groaning because parts of it have been demonically possessed and influenced by the devil. The devil is a spirit, yet when he turned up to tempt Adam and Eve he was within a serpent. Demons possessed the pigs and Jesus had to rebuke a storm – He did this because there was an evil spirit behind that storm. These are just some clear examples of why creation is groaning; as evil spirits are influencing it, same as they are influencing people.
Matthew 28:18 “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” Jesus through His death and resurrection took back the keys of authority for the earth and delegated this to His people to enforce the land ownership over the now illegal tenants, which are demonic entities – Ephesians 6:12. As we know the enemy will not willingly give up ground, it is a battle to take back territory, even though Jesus has won the victory and given us all the authority and power we need. When Joshua went to take the literal Promised Land, they had to fight literal giants to take the land. The giants did not just move over for them, which is a picture of what we have to contend with today – stubborn enemies who refuse to leave our lands without a fight.
It is very similar to legal evictions. That analogy can be used to explain the apparently strange scenario of having to fight to obtain the victory that has already been won through Jesus. When a judge grants an eviction for the landlord, the landlord still has to serve the notice of eviction on the tenant. We too have already received the desired court outcome through Jesus. Then through prayer we serve notice on the enemy, before we finally obtain the victory of seeing the enemy removed from what is now our rightful property or inheritance in its varying forms. Since the beginning, it has been a legal battle over the title deeds of the earth, as well as the souls of men and we are right in the middle of this legal warfare.
Understanding this ancient dynamic will better position us for the Last Days battle that we are now entering. It is effectively the enemy trying to make a last stand against his eternal eviction from earth and its rights. Which he only obtained through deception and Jesus legally restored to its rightful owner which is man. This is what demons said to Jesus when He was casting them out of people in Matthew 8:29 “Jesus have you come to torment us before the appointed time?” The demons know full well they are living on borrowed time and that the true Landlord will soon evict them all permanently as they have no right to be within people or destroying territories with their evil influence. This is why we are to cast them out as they have no right to be within people, especially once that person wants to be set free. Demons gain access through sin and rebellion, so they have a temporary right to be within a person, especially as many are not even aware the demon is present. However, once that person desires to be free or repents then their process to deliverance can happen.
Understanding all this background about why creation is groaning then positions and prepares us to rise as the “Manifest Sons of God” described in Romans. The time we have come to is not only going to see the restoration of man through a great End-Time Harvest and outpouring. It is also going to see the cry of all creation answered. Whilst the gross darkness continues, the manifest Sons of God are about to rise and shine like we have never seen before. These believers who have been prepared by God and said yes to paying the price of being used mightily in this hour are going to do the exploits described in Daniel. “Those who know their God will do great exploits.” – Daniel 11:32. They will be those that Jesus described in John 14:12 “Greater works will you do because I go to the Father.”
Here are some incredible miracles involving creation that give us an idea of the 1 Corinthians 2:9 “No eye has seen, no ear has heard” that God has reserved for our generation:
Elisha Purifies Water – 2 Kings 2:21-22 “Then Elisha went out to the spring that supplied the town with water and threw the salt into it. And he said, “This is what the LORD says: I have purified this water. It will no longer cause death or infertility.” And the water has remained pure to this day, according to the word Elisha had spoken.”
Ravens feed Elijah – 1 Kings 17:6 “The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.”
Joshua Commands Sun & Moon to Stop – Joshua 10:12-13 “On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.”
Moses parts the Red Sea – Exodus 14:21 “Then Moses raised his hand over the sea, and the LORD opened up a path through the water with a strong east wind. The wind blew all that night, turning the seabed into dry land.”
Elijah stops the rain for 3 years – 1 Kings 17:1 “And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”
Balaam’s Donkey Speaks – Numbers 22:28 – “Then the LORD opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”
Coin in a fish’ mouth – Matthew 17:27 “However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.”
As we can see from scripture, creation is important to God and He uses it for His glory. He is entrusting the manifest sons of God to walk like this in these Last Days and as we do creation will respond in the most extraordinary ways as seen already in scripture. Creation wants to work with us and is desperately crying out, but believers have to be in the right spiritual state to answer that cry. The manifest sons of God, not only know how to heal the sick and cast a demon out of an individual, they know how to deliver creation, territories and influence the elements like Joshua and Elijah did. That is a different level of authority and power altogether and God will trust the prepared ones to walk in that level that we have seen demonstrated in scripture. May we all be found ready and willing to be God’s instruments of restoration for both man and creation in our day.
Truly believers should prepare their hearts and seek the Lord that they may be the vessels of honour that rise up as the manifest sons of God in our time. It looks like the enemy has the upper hand in the darkness in the world and the continued toil in the nations. However, God has something far greater and the display of His glory that we see this year will eclipse the darkness. The enemy has been allowed to do his best, we will soon see God’s best and there will be no comparison between the two. All of creation has been waiting for this moment, are you ready to answer the high call of God and the cry of creation?

Hi, Brother Thomas Harry!
I always enjoy your words from the Lord. Here are 2 confirmation dreams that I shared on my ministry Facebook page and YouTube channel! I believe you are writing about the 144,000 spoken of in Revelation Chapter 7 and 14.
Most recently, I had a dream which I posted on YouTube on January 29, 2022, stating that the revealing of the 144,000 (“Manifest Sons of God”) is imminent!
Here is the second dream I had back in October of 2019 revealing the activities of this prophesied group! God bless!

My Prophetic Dream:
Oct. 27, 2019
In my dream it was a dark and sinful world—the end times. The world and everyone was very evil and joyfully sought to do evil at every opportunity. At one point I came into a large, filthy, poorly lit public bathroom. There were many, many men at the sinks joyfully talking and planning the sin they were going to do that night. I even saw one man I knew. My heart was so grieved and disgusted by the wickedness. I wanted to correct them and rebuke their wickedness. I could not find the courage to do so before they had left, but right after I felt the Holy Spirit begin to rise up in me, my strength grew with each word I spoke. I bound and rebuked the evil spirits and the kingdom of darkness in my city, in my state, my country, and in the whole world! I proclaimed that now was the time of the Kingdom of our God!
Shortly after a little boy entered with his mom and grandmother. I knew he needed healing (perhaps autism?), so I prayed over him and there was an instantaneous response.
On the way out of the bathroom, I overheard a Christian woman at the sink bashing Catholics with her friends. I corrected her and told her I was Catholic and yet the power of God was also with me (I believe there is a remnant in the Catholic Church although the leadership at this time is largely apostate as with most of the different denominations).
At that point, I entered the adjacent shopping center and encountered a developmentally disabled girl in a wheelchair with her family. Her name was Melissa and though she was a teenager she had the appearance of a young child and still wore a diaper. With some resistance from her family, I prayed for her and she instantaneously became well and “normal” for her age and I began to prophesy over her about her future ministry (I later saw her in my dream as a healthy adult woman ministering to others).
Afterwards, I walked past some Muslim hijabi women and attempted to minister to them. When I woke up, I was weeping, still so overcome by the Holy Spirit. I was so amazed by the love and mercy of our God and how He will use us mightily during this time. I then felt that he told me I was a “watchman” and that I had the ability (and responsibility) to interpret the signs and times for others for many cannot see.
Interpretation:
God is going to use His people mightily during these last days. He will pour out His Spirit like never before. (Joel 2:28-30) We will bind and rebuke the evil spirits and declare the Kingdom of God over the whole earth! We will operate in signs and wonders never seen before! We are the “Elisha/“Double portion” generation! (2 Kings 2:9, Isaiah 61:7) We are “the best wine” (Holy Spirit Anointing) that has been saved for the “last” days and the “greater” generation! (John 2:9-10, John 14:12) Healings that were once thought impossible will happen instantaneously (such as the developmentally disabled girl). Christians will be ministering to others constantly wherever we go. The people at the sinks represented people who needed “cleaned up” or corrected. The Christian woman who was bashing Catholics represented those who sow division in the body of Christ and even persecute fellow believers. Now is the time of unity for the body of Christ! The whole world will be against us, so we must not be against each other! Denominational background does not matter, and God’s people are those who love and worship him in spirit and in truth and are washed by the blood of Jesus. During this time we will finally answer Jesus’ prayer that we would be “one” which He prayed before He was crucified. (John 17:20-22)

The Best Wine (Holy Spirit Anointing) Saved for Last (the Last Days)
John 2:9-10 (NIV)
9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
We Will Do Greater Works than Jesus Did!

We Will Do Great Exploits!
Daniel 11:32 (KJV)
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Jesus’ Unity Prayer for the Believers
John 17:20-22 (NIV)
Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—

Great word with wonderful illustrations, verses & parallels.
The Earth & its people are certainly groaning & many True Christian Believers have been in prayer & travail seeking the Father ,Son -and Holy Spirit in this late hour.
Much to seek the Father, Son & Holy Spirit about in the Hour we find ourselves in.
We all need to hear the Holy Spirits leading in this hour.(Individuals, Families, & as a Church Body.
This morning I asked the Lord to lead me to his Word and He gave me Isaiah 1:2 which in my understanding the Lord is speaking to us about the complaint of the LORD against the sinful nations. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: God called heaven and earth as witnesses against the leaders of the nations. The scriptures that came to my mind are:
Romans 8:22 -23 says, For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Isaiah 1:19-20 If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken. Heaven and earth are waiting on our obedience. May we be obedient to do His perfect will in these end time days. It will be glorious. Thank you for this message. There is much to contemplate and glorify His Holy Name.
Isaiah 60 – Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
amen! wonderful to hear a sister in our Lord Yeshua know what the Father and the Lord want and are doing in this time. God wants a people to be His Tabernacle. the Lord was that first tabernacle of an earthen vessel that was perfect for the Father and by His victory over all enemies, including death, we now too by grace and faith can walk in and take that land, kill those giants!
God has something far greater and the display of his glory that we see this year will eclipse the darkness. Yes.
What will thay look like?
What will thay do?
On the highway I see them sometimes many are in car with parents. I can feel them in the spirit. I cry Out God for them. The bright and shiney ones.
