2025 will be a year of building, rebuilding and building forward!
“Let us rise up and build.” [Nehemiah 2:18] -A Nehemiah era has come.
It is a pivotal time for visions to turn into actions. Like with Nehemiah there is a grace and authority being released to start building again. Like with Zerubbabel the heart of the people is returning to seeing the altar and the temple to be rebuilt. See the builders and the destroyers have been parted. There is a great shift about to take place. I see many returning to their first breath, fresh fire, first love and an unreserved burning passion to say YES to God. As it was in the beginning so it will be again.
I see God’s people coming back to purity and honesty, faithfulness and holiness, faith and obedience. I see faith and obedience rising and the Kingdom of God expanding rapidly. Revivals will come because it started with repenting people on their knees resolving to ask God how to build. The flood of heaven is building.
Unlike the last few years, I believe this coming year and beyond will be peaceful for a purpose. It will make room for great harvests, building and expansion, savings and extra, growth and overflow. I see silos filling up and people laughing. I see families coming back to the table and sharing meals together. I see fathers and sons becoming unified and strong with renewed passion to build strong legacies for their families. I see parents blessing their children and children honoring their parents again. Things that have stagnated and have been put off because of war, unrest, struggle and lack, will suddenly spark back to life. I see a beautiful flowerbed for revival!
These last few years have been challenging and for some concerning but fear not. There is a time for everything. The tables have been turned, and the altar has been returned. God has been cleaning His church, dismantling illegal constructions, disinfecting His people and purifying His bride. There has been testing, exposing and refining. There has been a separation. Hot and cold, devoted and unfaithful, truthful and liars, incorruptible and corruptible, worshippers and pretenders, the willing and the stubborn… they’ve all been revealed. The prophets of ruin and the prophets of life are now clearly uncovered and identifiable. This is a work that needed to happen, but now we’re entering a time to build, rebuild and expand again.
I heard God say: “Grace upon grace—everything you’ll need is available to you. There is a divine stabilizing coming. I will cause there to be grace for peace, power for stability and time to rebuild. What used to fall apart will now stand strong. Fields that were fallow will burst forth with harvests again. You will be the rebuilder of old ruins, the restorer of former desolations, and the repairer of ruined cities. By My Spirit you will see the reverse of desolations that has existed for many generations. [Isaiah 61:4] Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings. [Isaiah 58:12]
But first you must come out from among your ruins, your failed endeavors and the abandoned half-built things blocking your way. Come out of your opinions, ideas and compromises. Come out of what you’ve tried to build on your own with your charisma, strength and abilities. It hasn’t worked. Enough with the tearing down and the neglect. Enough with the destruction and desolation. Enough with feeling sorry for yourself and playing the loser. Enough with giving anybody other than God the right to declare your future. Don’t worry about the critics, the finger pointers, the accusers, the self-appointed judges and the false prophets. Their only job is to distract you, undermine you and keep you from your purpose. Consider their fields are fruitfulness, their ministries empty, their cities are in ruin and their children are scattered. Why would you consult them, give power to them or listen to their advice?
I have a better proposal. Do it My way. Build with My Spirit and by My Spirit. Put on humility and build from your knees. Your worship will open your eyes to see the amazing plans, designs and projects already drawn and approved in My heart. NOW IS THE TIME TO SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD. Now is the time for the altar to be restored, the city to be saved and the wall to be rebuilt. Let the restoration of the ruins begin. It’s time to build again. Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. [1 Corinthians 15:58]
I invite you to receive, invest, prophesy and then go forward to build what I’ve shown you. Now is the hour for you to build anew with Me! Follow My design and you will have My approval. Follow My instructions and you will see My glory fill your house.”
Let us come into 2025 with a new attitude and a renewed faith.
Let’s trust God and build according to His design.
Let’s come into a new era of stability, peace and grace.
Then decide… I WILL BUILD IN 2025!
