Prophetic Word: FINISH LINE

When I talk about the finish line here I do not mean you have come to the end of your race of life but rather a particular part of your journey or season in Christ.

I saw myself standing at the 'finish line' of a race, encouraging others to the end and welcoming some across. It suddenly dawned on me that I was standing on the other side of the 'finish line' which meant I'd crossed over.

I understood that the Lord was saying we are at the 'finish line' or completion of this part of our journey. Some have crossed over while others are coming up to it.

INDIVIDUALS

Some have been in fiery trials for a long season which will now come to an end as we let go. Not every battle is ours and we have a tendency to take on far too many.

Others have been in training, especially those among us who are prophets who train for about twenty years and are sometimes harshly tested! God tests all HIS prophets, but HE restores! You are now crossing the finish line, don't give up, CROSSOVER!

The 'finish line' is now in sight and once you cross over the burden you have been carrying will be lifted off you. The restrictions that once held you will be removed and your 'confinement' will be ended. Things are about to open up for you. You have to understand that the place of 'confinement' is somewhere you have been held or kept for a time. It is not necessarily something you can break out of but a place of 'waiting.' In the 'waiting' we develop and we would be under-developed if we come out too soon.

It is vitally important to keep your eyes fixed and focused on the future and not to look to the past.

Isaiah 43:18 New King James Version (NKJV)

18 “Do not remember the former things,

Nor consider the things of old.

Isaiah 43:18-21 The Message (MSG)

16-21 This is what God says,

the God who builds a road right through the ocean,

who carves a path through pounding waves,

The God who summons horses and chariots and armies—

they lie down and then can’t get up;

they’re snuffed out like so many candles:

“Forget about what’s happened;

don’t keep going over old history.

Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new.

It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it?

There it is! I’m making a road through the desert,

rivers in the badlands.

Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’

—the coyotes and the buzzards—

Because I provided water in the desert,

rivers through the sun-baked earth,

Drinking water for the people I chose,

the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me.

REWARD

When we reach the finish line of a race there is always a reward. There is nothing that can compare with the exhilaration of knowing that you have managed to reach a particular milestone or goal. There is a fullness of soul that takes place when we see the manifestation of our accomplishment, for there is always Demonstration. Signs and wonders always follow us, they do not lead.

So rewards come in many different forms but it is so much better to remain focused on the spiritual reward than the natural, for the spiritual memory will remain forever imprinted in your soul while the natural is only temporary.

REST & RECOVER

When you reach the finish line you always enter a period of rest and recovery in specific areas of your life. This does not mean you quit. All runners will go into the 'Tent' at a big race where they are attended to for injuries and recovery. A Tent is a picture of the rest and dwelling place of the Lord. This is a place we are called to enter by faith, regardless of circumstances or whatever battles are raging around us.

Sometimes we can clearly see numerous fires that are burning around us. We must sink back into that couch, that place of rest while the fires burn, since it is clear that we are not equipped to put these all out! Most fires will burn out by themselves if we leave them to the 'out-working of God'. This is part of WAITING upon the Lord and when we look again the space on the couch will no longer be occupied by a human form but that of an EAGLE, since they always soar above the storm.

Hebrews 4 New International Version (NIV)

4 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. 2 For we also have had the good news proclaimed to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because they did not share the faith of those who obeyed.[a] 3 Now we who have believed enter that rest,...

SCALES

I hear “Bring out the Scales and Weigh”

It is time to weigh up where you have come to, the decisions you have made and strategies you previously implemented. Look at the whole picture, Past. Present and Future. Consider all and Weigh! Asses, Trim and Lengthen. Here I see the hand with a scissors cutting off some dead weight while adding to other. This is almost like bringing an old cushion back to life by refilling it and plumping it up.

So your focus does not leave the plans of the Father for us, but sometimes we shift our focus a little more intensely on areas that really require attention. These may be overlooked or neglected, while our Father wants them brought back to life. We begin by speaking life into these and changing our behaviour. Walk by the spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh!

This can be difficult for us, depending on the situation or circumstances we know require more attention during this season. We are being redirected. If we continue and persevere, in just a short while we will see the signs that follow.

DISCERNING YOUR SEASON
It is so important to discern your season and where your focus should be at this time. We have to gain a momentum in our lives. If you tune in and listen with your spiritual ears you will begin to hear the sound of your life flow. Discerning the rhythm is so vitally important since there are so many areas that affect us and we can clearly hear which are out of tune. We set the tone for the rhythm and flow since we can choose where and in what quantity we enter in or remain out. When the momentum in your tune flows then you will have the correct measure, so be sure to connect and LISTEN!

When you know you have crossed over into your promised land do you just sit and wait?

Take God at HIS word. Confirmation will follow. Move into what God has promised. Act out your Faith.. That word spoken over you will not come to pass if you do not walk it out. If you were not required to partner with God then there would be no need for HIM to tell you anything!

It is better to do something than do nothing at all! If we make mistakes, HE is able to turn all our mistakes around. Be an Adventurer! Stop waiting on the shoreline, walk on the water! Anything Could Happen and it WILL!

Proverbs 16:3 New International Version (NIV)

3 Commit to the Lord whatever you do,

and he will establish your plans.

* Please Note this word is specific to the area where I am located or sent. Take what applies to you and chuck out what does not.

Lots of Love and Blessing
