I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘AS YOU COME OUT OF HIDING, I AM REDEFINING’

Recently I heard the Lord say, ‘As you come out of hiding, I am redefining.’

As the Lord spoke these words, I saw many in the Body of Christ that were still in hiding because of what they have walked, because of hurts, pains, grief and ongoing warfare they have encountered. I saw the temptation was so strong to remain in hiding because of fear of stepping out again or coming out into a new season because of what it could mean. I could see so clearly that the enemy has been using lies, false comforts and lies about ‘what coming out of hiding would look like.’ Many are feeling the lure into temptation to remain in hiding, feeling the pressure of the fear that is shouting, ‘It is safer to remain in hiding.’

It was so clear to me as I watched that the enemy was terrified of these ones coming out of hiding, leaving behind past seasons, leaving behind the grave clothes, leaving behind ‘what was’ and choosing to step up and out and trust Him in what feels like a great ‘unknown’.

As I leaned into the Lord and listened to His heart, I heard:
‘My people, these are your greatest days of transformation. These are the days that you have been waiting for. These are the days you have been longing for to step up and out of so many places that have held you captive, contained and afraid. I say unto you, these are the days of encountering My mighty breath of life, My resurrection power and My mighty restoration that will cause you to be full of joy and strength in Me again. I say unto you, that My Spirit is calling you UP and OUT. My Spirit is wooing you into a new day and the enemy is terrified of you stepping UP and OUT into what I have for you in this season.

‘I say unto you, that you must let go of yesterday. You must not remain in what was. You must not be firmly focused on what has been, but you must look to Me and look to what is ahead – for I have greater things planned than you have imagined.

‘I say unto you, that as you come up and out of hiding, I am REDEFINING. I say unto you, that through much of what you have walked and endured, the enemy, lies, accusations, circumstances and pain has attempted to redefine who you are, what you carry and where I am leading you. There has been much that many of you have taken on and aligned with that is not My heart for you, and as you come UP and OUT of hiding in this season, you will see that I am REDEFINING. Where the enemy has attempted to redefine you and keep you in hiding, where you are carrying things that are not in line with what I have said and My heart for you, I AM BRINGING FORTH A MIGHTY REDEFINITION. I say unto you, that I am DEFINING again who you are in Me and I am bringing you into a place of great freedom, healing, deliverance and strength.

‘Where others have attempted to box you in, I am bringing forth a redefining where you shall see with greater clarity who you are in Me, what you carry and what I am leading you into. I am STRIPPING YOU of what others have spoken over you that has attempted to define you. I am stripping you of the places where you have allowed the past and past seasons to define you. I am stripping you of places where there has been great temptation to be defined by what you have walked, the pain you have carried and the words spoken over you. I am bringing forth a MIGHTY UNTETHERING. I am bringing forth a MIGHTY DELIVERANCE in your lives as you keep your eyes on Me.

‘I say unto you, that I am bringing you UP and OUT of the graves that you have been lying in. I say unto you, that I am leading you deeper into the places of breaking agreements with a spirit of death. I am leading you deeper into the places of breaking agreement with small-mindedness and unbelief. I am leading you deeper into the places of breaking agreement with the power of words that have been spoken over you that have hindered you from moving into all that I have for you in this season. I am leading you deeper into believing what I have spoken over you about who you are and what you are being led into.

‘I say unto you, that I am lighting a FIRE WITHIN YOU. A fire of passion and hunger for Me and for all that I have for you in this season that is causing you to AWAKE and begin to see many of the areas where you have been hiding. I say unto you, that the fire of My Spirit is causing a mighty discontentment within you to REMAIN where you have been and a deep restlessness to remain in the grave clothes and the things that have contained you. It is My fire that I am releasing within you to hunger and thirst for Me in greater ways and to not be satisfied in living lower than what I have paid for you at the Cross. I am bringing you into a deeper understanding of your life and inheritance in Me and that IN ME you LIVE and MOVE and have your being. (Acts 17:28)
‘I am causing you to wake up and shake off the chains. I am causing you to wake up and take off the grave clothes. I am causing you to wake up and to lock eyes with the things that have attempted to keep you in hiding, the things that have attempted to lock you into a box of containment, and I am bringing you into a deeper place of faith and freedom in Me.

‘I say unto you, that I am WAKING YOU UP by My Spirit. I say unto you, that I am speaking to you, “COME OUT OF HIDING.” I say unto you, I am causing you to step into realms of My resurrection power that you have not known and I am bringing you into a greater place of commissioning in the new season that I have for you.

‘I say unto you, that not only will you walk in mighty recompense and restoration, but I am causing you to ARISE and AWAKEN to My Mighty power and to walk in boldness and confidence in who I have created you to be and WHO I AM for you. I am the God who is FOR YOU and NOT AGAINST YOU. (Rom 8:31)

‘I say unto you, that the enemy has worked so hard to lure you into agreement with lies about who I am and who I am for you. The enemy has been working hard to sow seeds of doubt within you of what I have said, who I have created you to be and what you carry. But I say unto you, that I am causing you to SEE where you have aligned and given agreement to these lies and I am bringing you deeper into a great awakening of WHO I AM FOR YOU!I am untethering you from the lies that have held you captive about My nature. I am the GOD who is for you and My goodness is INCOMPREHENSIBLE.

‘I say unto you, My people, say GOODBYE to yesterday. Yesterday is containing many of you. Say GOODBYE to yesterday for a new day is before you. Look back at yesterday ONLY to celebrate what I have done. But I say unto you, I am causing you to awaken and see where you have been connected to yesterday in unhealthy ways; and to repent for being tethered to yesterday, for longing for yesterday. And I am bringing you into deeper places of breaking agreement with yesterday. I say unto you, that where many of you have been tethered to yesterday – tethered to the familiar, tethered to people of yesterday that you walked with in past seasons but those seasons of walking together are over – I am causing you to awaken and to let go. I say unto you, My people, do not continue to attempt to RESURRECT WHAT WAS – it is bringing you into delay and dismay. I say unto you, repent for attempting to resurrect what was.

‘Look to Me and KNOW that I am bringing you into some of your greatest moments of seeing My resurrection power come upon you and move you into all things new. I say unto you, do not look at the new season with fear and foreboding. I say unto you, ask Me what I am speaking over this new season and PROPHESY IT. Align with MY WORDS over your new season. Many of you have been stuck and delayed because of what you have spoken over your season. Repent for careless words and speaking words over your season and the season upon you that is not in line with what I have said. PROPHESY to your new season what I am speaking and REFUSE to move from it.

‘Prophesy over the dead things that I have promised you will see come to life, walk in, receive and apprehend. Prophesy to them. Prophesy to the dry bones. Prophesy to your heart that has felt dry and dead. Prophesy to the places where all you see is death. For these are the places where you are moving into the greatest demonstrations of My resurrection power, and what you will see Me do by the power of My Spirit will announce My Glory and goodness to all around.’
