I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘AS YOU WORSHIP, BARRIERS, CONTAINMENTS AND HARD GROUNDS ARE BREAKING OPEN’
Recently, I had a vision and I saw many with raised hands in worship and their eyes were filled with such awe and wonder of who Jesus is – truly a deep place of beholding Him. I could feel the sense in the spirit of such devotion to the Lord and worshipping Him in Spirit and in truth (John 4:24)
I then began to hear the sound of things shattering, and I began to see barriers and containments breaking open. There was a violent breaking through and breaking open and I was struck so deeply again by how much happens in the spirit that we don’t even realise or perceive as we worship. I could feel the sense so strongly of how worship is warfare: and I could see hosts of angels being dispatched as worship of our beautiful Jesus was resounding from the lives of these precious saints.
As I leaned in and listened to His heart, I heard:
‘My people, I am doing much that you do not see as you worship Me. I am bringing you deeper into My reality – the reality in which you truly live. I am bringing you deeper into communion with Me as you worship. I am bringing you deeper into seeing Me and seeing who I am, and the transformation that is taking place as you worship is far greater than you see.
‘The enemy has tried so hard in this season to keep your eyes on the ground and to keep your eyes fixed on the barriers, the containments and the hard grounds. But I say unto you, that as you worship I am recalibrating your perspective and your vision. For where many have magnified the barriers, the containments and the hard grounds, I am bringing you deeper into the place of encountering Me and My Majesty. I say unto you, that where eyes have been fixed on barriers, containments and hard grounds, in worship I am lifting your eyes up higher.
‘As you worship Me there is a sound of repentance rising to Me, as many come to a deeper realisation and revelation that you were not created to live with your eyes on the ground and your eyes on the natural realm. You were created to live ever growing and increasing in revelation of who I am: the One who is not contained, the One whose power knows no bounds and the One who has grafted you in to live in the heavenly reality that, in Me, all things are possible to those who believe (Mark 9:23).
‘Where there has been such a battle over your perspective and vision, where your flesh has continued to want to magnify the barriers, containments and hard grounds – and their impossibility – where the enemy has flooded you with natural realm perspectives and accusations and lies: as you worship Me, I am bringing you into such an increased panoramic vision of what I am speaking, what I am doing and what I am going to do. But you must remain steadfast in your worship and recognise there is a significant battle taking place; it’s the battle of what you will behold. Meditate not upon the barriers and containments and hard grounds, but meditate upon Me and My Majesty as you come deeper in worship of Me.
‘My people, I say unto you, that you have entered days where you are going to see in greater ways what happens when you worship Me. You have entered days where your eyes shall be opened in greater ways to the movement of My Spirit and My angelic hosts as you worship. I say unto you, that the enemy has come so hard against many of you to attempt to hinder your movement and your momentum by trying to lure you into agreement of the impossibility of the natural realm barriers, containments and hard grounds.
‘I say unto you, the enemy has come against many, attempting to sow seeds of lies about My character and My goodness – as barriers, containments and hard grounds shouted louder and louder and you have hard to stand and remain in the truth of My goodness and My nature. I am for you and not against you (Rom 8:31) and My ways are good (Psalm 18:30). Oh, the depths of revelation of My nature and My goodness, My power and My love that is increasing and will continue to rapidly increase in the place of worship. Not only am I healing hearts in worship, but I am supernaturally bringing you into a greater place of expectancy and revelation of My power.
‘I say unto you, watch barriers, containments and hard grounds break in greater ways than you have ever seen. Keep your eyes on Me. Behold Me in worship. Exalt My name. As My name is above EVERY other name and there is no greater name than My name, and I am about to make My name known in ways you have never seen before. Do not be mesmerised, distracted or bound to focus upon these barriers, containments and hard grounds. Lift up your eyes and worship Me. Watch how I will do more in one day as you worship Me than could ever be done in the natural. I am moving to raise up My people as worship warriors, being awakened to the power of praise and the power of worship. Where there has been a battle over what you behold, fix your heart and eyes on Me and behold ME.
‘My River of refreshment is crashing over you and filling you as you worship. I am breaking down the barriers, I am smashing the containments, I am breaking open the hard grounds. Worship and dance upon the hard grounds. Declare My name. Speak My name over the barriers, containments and hard grounds and watch how My hand moves to remove them and break them open to make way for My Glory. Where there have been the greatest containments, barriers and hard grounds in this season, are going to be places of some of the greatest outpouring of My Spirit, My oil and My Glory.’
