Encouraging prophetic word by Katie Dunstan, member of Women’s Apostolic Alliance
ARE YOU FEELING DEFEATED AND STUCK FROM THE BARRAGE OF LIFE’S STRUGGLES IN THIS SEASON?
The Lord is coming for you. He is about to free those who are feeling stuck in this season. He will free you and empower you by His spirit. He will send you out in power, for you to bring freedom to others.
I hear the Lord saying ‘I AM RAISING UP A NEW BREED OF DELIVERERS TO DELIVER MY PEOPLE FROM THE MIRY CLAY IN THE END TIME HARVEST.’
‘I AM RELEASING MANTLES AND ISSUING MANDATES TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE’ AND RELEASE THE PRISONERS FROM DEEP DARKNESS’ (ISAIAH 61).
Driving into the nearby National Park where I spend time with the Lord, I could see a trawler in the Spirit. It was moving carefully with nets down. I heard the Lord say ‘BIG HAUL’
A trawler: a boat used for fishing with a large net dragged along the sea bottom. But the spiritual trawler I saw, was not fishing for fish. It was sent by the Lord to rescue people who feel like they are stuck in mud, and drowning, as if at the bottom of the sea.
I believe The Lord wants to encourage many people who are feeling defeated and trodden down by the constant barrage of struggles of life in this season. Some have felt stuck in mud, in a place that feels deep, dark, and cold. You have felt constricted and not able to move forward.
The sense I have about the trawler is that it is the Lord who is coming for you (plural). He is coming for the spiritual BIG HAUL. Not to catch fish, but to rescue people who are stuck and feel like they are drowning. He is sending out a massive spiritual safety net to RETRIEVE AND RESTORE many who feel like they are sinking. He sees you in the deep troubled waters of life. He says take heart for I AM LIFTING YOU (plural) UP OUT OF THE MIRY CLAY.
The hand of the Lord in this BIG HAUL will destroy the enemy stronghold that has placed you in this defeated position, as He strategically plucks you from the enemy’s snare (Ps 91:3). Up to now, the enemy has thought he has had the big catch. But this BIG HAUL will LIFT AND FLIP the enemy’s plan on its head. For the Lord your God is turning what was meant for evil around for good for those who love Him.
Psalm 40:2 (NASB)
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
JARS THAT CARRY MY OIL
I am mending the tears in your heart, the cracks from the strain, and the brokenness in your life. I am transforming broken vessels that were lodged in a hole, into carriers of my oil.
I AM IGNITING THE JESUS LIGHT WITHIN YOU TO SHINE BRIGHTER THAN EVER BEFORE IN THESE DARK DAYS.
For those who feel like dropping off the edge of life and giving in, turn the tide and lean into the Lord, deeper than you’ve ever gone before, deep into His presence, His word, His love. Watch how He will turn your life around so notably that Nations will come to your light and the brightness of your rising (Isaiah 60:3). The Lord would say ‘for it is my Son who shines from within you. I am igniting the Jesus light within you to shine brighter than ever before in these dark days.’ ‘I will light the divine wick of my spirit within you, to beam a brightness from you, beyond your own being, so you will shine brightly into these dark days.’ ‘My fiery passion stamps you as my shining ones.’
You will arise and shine again (Isaiah 60:1), for the Glory of the Lord will rise upon you. In fact I sense the Lord saying ‘I will rise from within you. Turn to me.’ Some have felt overwhelmed and pushed down under the weight and pressure you have been grappling with, feeling like you are sinking and some are even ready to let go of their life line and give up.
But the Lord would say to you:
‘Do not fear [anything], for I am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you, be assured I will help you;
I will certainly take hold of you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of salvation].’ Isaiah 41:10 (AMP)
The Lord is lifting you up out of the miry clay, not only to deliver, cleanse, and heal you, but to empower you by His Spirit so you begin to walk in the oil of anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage. Many of you will begin to bring generational deliverance for others.
Zech 4:6: Not by might, not by power but by my Spirit says the Lord of hosts
As you are lifted up, and delivered from looming death and destruction, at the same time, you are being robed in righteousness, you are empowered by the Spirit of God, and commissioned to begin to rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; and to renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations (Isaiah 61:4).
LEAN INTO THE LORD LIKE NEVER BEFORE, HOLD ON TIGHT FOR HE IS RESCUING YOU AND RAISING YOU UP, TO EMPOWER YOU, AND SEND YOU OUT IN POWER.
