God said to me that we are about to have Lazarus moments. What is a Lazarus moment?
In John 11:38-44, Jesus Raises Lazarus From the Dead
38 Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. 39 “Take away the stone,” he said.
“But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.”
40 Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.”
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.
Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
This is your season to step into all things new. To step into the assignment God has for you. What has set you back for years will now be your comeback. I hear the Lord saying- I am going to restore the years the locusts have stolen. In Joel 2:25 NIV it says, “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten- the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm—my great army that I sent among you. I hear the Lord saying there are massive miraculous encounters on the way for the body of Christ. We are about to see REVIVAL in every area of our lives.
Your setbacks will only be stepping stones into the new thing God has for you. The miraculous will take place in our lives this season. We are going to experience VERY BIG CHANGES. This is not a small thing it is a big thing. A season of all things new is heading our way. In Isaiah 43:19 NIV it says- See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
When Lazarus stepped out of the grave he was made new again. He didn’t have any trace of sickness; he was whole and healed. When we step into the next season God has for us, we are stepping into the fullness of the blessing. We are moving from dry lands to wet lands. We are stepping into a season of joy overflowing, a season of excitement and surprises, a season of favor and miracles. Miracles are going to happen all around us this season.
People will say- How did this happen?
You will say- God’s hand on my life. He did what no man can do. In God’s economy, miracles are normal. He turns water into wine. He raises the dead back to life, He parts the red sea.
OUR GOD IS A MIRACLE WORKER.
WE SERVE A GOD OF THE MIRACULOUS.
The area the enemy thought he took you out for good, you are going to soar in. You are about to walk into that breakthrough,
You are coming out of your grave in this season I declare it. You are about to be launched into your destiny. You are about to see the goodness of God in your life. What the enemy used for evil, God will use for your good. (Romans 8:28 NIV).
Nothing can stop God’s hand in your life this season. NOTHING.
It is time to take off your grave clothes. All those heavy burdens are lifted today. All the chains that held you back, lifted. Today you are moving forward into the new season God has for you. Today is the moment where you decide-
I AM STEPPING OUT. I AM GOING INTO MY BREAKTHROUGH. I AM A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST. I AM MORE THAN ABLE. I AM EXPECTANT.
God is saying that your trial will not hold you back, your sickness will not lead to death, your financial situation is about to turnaround. Now God’s glory will be made manifest through every setback you went through. Some of you have fallen asleep but Jesus is coming to wake you up spiritually. He is waking you up today. I hear the Lord saying- WAKE UP. Jesus is about to quicken things in your life.
He is going to shake you to go and do great exploits for Him. It doesn’t matter how many days you have been in that dry place. It doesn’t matter how long you have been sitting in that tomb. It is time to come out. It is time to come out. It is time to come out.
You are going to see the glory of God in your life this year.
I hear the Lord saying- Lazarus come out. Lazarus come out. Lazarus come out. Put your name in that sentence and come out from your hiding place. It is time to step into the next thing God has for you.
It is time for you to come out of the tomb and into the land of living again. You need to take off the grave clothes and put on the garments of praise. Your greatest season is ahead of you.
If you have not made Jesus your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to pray this prayer today:
“Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. I receive your forgiveness. I ask you to be my Lord and Savior. I declare I am washed by the blood of Jesus and I am now born again. I am a child of God.
In Jesus name Amen”.
