A RELEASE OF JOY - April 19, 2023

Great is the Lord and great is His faithfulness to all those who keep His commandments! A river is rushing and gushing forth throughout the land. Life and liberty are in the waters. Those who are getting into the river and going with its flow are being transformed into the likeness of the Lord. They are basking in the waters, rejoicing in their God, for He has come to rescue them, to set them free from every affliction. They are being released into the fullness of joy in this hour and nothing is able to quench what the Lord is doing.

Multitudes are entering into the river. Multitudes are being washed by the presence of the Lord in the waters. Whole households are coming into the life-giving flow. They are being pulled in by the power of My Spirit and I am doing a mighty work in their hearts and lives. They are surrendering themselves to the Lord, willingly letting go of strongholds over their lives. They are experiencing great change in their attitude toward the Heavenly Father. They see that He is a loving Father and that His children are blessed. They can see that the joy of the Lord is their strength, that there is no mountain too great that they cannot climb.

I am imparting greater depths of My joy into My people. You will see a great out-pouring of joy in the assembly. I am taking My people on and into deeper waters. Every fear, every fret, will be washed away. Nothing will hold them back from entering into the fullness of My joy. You will see this amongst yourselves, that the power of My presence is increasing, that you are being stretched to great capacity to receive what the Father is pouring out in this day. Those who have longed for more will receive more, for the Father has an abundance available for those who would ask.

Ask the Father to release the joy of the Lord into your life. Ask Him to open the windows of heaven. He sees your weakness, your inability to go on without His fullness and He is waiting for you to ask for it, for it is the Father’s desire that you be released into life abundant. He desires to set you into heavenly places with Him, to minister His love and grace into every area of your life. He wants to give you His desires and a heart that follows after Him, for He is leading His people into the promised land, a land flowing with milk and honey, where there is no lack, where every need is supplied. Lay everything at this feet and step forward into the waters of life.

Do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Do not say in your heart that the Father does not care for you, that He has forgotten you. He longs for you. His arms are outstretched to you day and night. Commit yourself to Him. Commit your ways to Him. Do not lean on you own understanding. Do not put your trust in your own abilities and understanding, but put your trust in the Lord your God. He will direct your path. He will gird you up so that you do not trip and fall. He will cause you to prosper in the land that He will give you, for His benefits are beyond count.
