“Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, “Do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king, and I will interpret his dream for him.” Arioch took Daniel to the king at once and said, “I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can tell the king what his dream means.” The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar), “Are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it?”

Daniel replied, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you were lying in bed are these:” Daniel 2:24–28

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God — this is your true and proper worship.” Romans 12:1

Beloved,

There is a Spirit of Revelation moving in the land today. He brings you the insight and discernment necessary to speak into the lives of many — helping to change the course of rivers, and redirecting the steps of all those who would hear.

Pastors, Priests, Ministers are filled with His Word today — the leaders who have been dry for some time — find themselves refreshed and recharged. There is supernatural insight, now in their hands.

And we pray that the Lord would encourage them, making them bold for the Kingdom of Heaven — that the dreams or visions you had, were from God and do have lasting impact on those under your charge.

Faith takes a daring heart — daring to believe that what God has shared with you, is from Him and not some undigested tidbit of food. And even so, when the dream is filtered through Christ, even the most chaotic vision will be wringed of the dross — and Truth (Revelation) will come.

And it will be life giving.

The calling on your life was not a temporary thing — but you were purchased through the Cross, for such a time as this. You are the carrier of Life, issued through the Blood of the Lamb — and the Words from your mouth will be an overflow of your heart.

Be encouraged — let your boldness appear once more, and let it be a sustained Faith that leads you.

The depth of your Heart is an indicator of the depth of your Faith. Filling your heart with God’s Word and being receptive to His Teaching, and allowing His Words spoken aloud to enter into this temple — will stretch the heart beyond mere mortal standards in the width and depth and length.

You are a runner — that God has given endurance to.

It is time to run the race — and for some to finish it well.

His Glory surrounds your steps — igniting the passion — until you are a burning bush, for the Kingdom of God. You house the Holy Spirit — who moves in and through you touching the world that is dying. And you have been made Holy.

God breathes on you today.

Bringing spontaneous Faith in the midst of difficult events — and God will receive the Glory and Praise.

Faith, just open your hands.
