I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘CLOSED AND COVERED BY MY BLOOD’
Recently, I heard the Lord say, ‘Closed and covered by My blood.’
I then went into a vision, and I began to see circumstances that have been giants in the lives of believers, open doors (landing places the enemy has had), long standing battles that have had seemingly no breakthrough or victory manifested, and places of ongoing attack in the lives of many believers. As they leaned into the Lord, standing on His Word, walking by faith, these circumstances were suddenly closed and covered by the blood of the Lamb.
There was such a strong sense in this vision of the ‘ending’ of many long standing battles, addictions and oppositions suddenly being broken by the power of the blood of Jesus.
What struck me in this vision was the posture of these beautiful followers of Jesus. Their hearts were so tender towards Him. There was such a humility in the hearts of these ones who were desperately crying out for freedom and an ‘ending’ to these areas where victory has felt delayed and so far away. Their hearts were postured in such a beautiful place of yielded surrender to the Lord, lifting and exalting His name, His Word, His faithfulness and the power of His blood to the highest place.
There was a cry that came from their hearts that echoed Psalm 139:23-24:
Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart;
Test me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way. (AMP)
I could feel the heart posture of these ones before the Lord moved His heart deeply.
The sense continued to surround me of ‘FINALITY’, and I could feel the invitation from the Lord to these ones to join their FAITH with the decree of the Lord: ‘FINALITY.’ When I saw the word ‘FINALITY’ in this encounter, the sense was not one of a soft, gentle ending – it came with a FEROCIOUS SEVERING. It was the power of the Lord’s mighty hand. It was the avenger who comes to bring justice, recompense and freedom – that is already theirs in Christ – in such a powerfully ferocious, loving way.
This weightiness of this invitation to join their FAITH with the FINALITY that He was decreeing, was an invitation to stand stronger upon, and more deeply in, the FINALITY that came through the CROSS and RESURRECTION of Jesus Christ. I could see a mighty shift happening within hearts, where the Spirit of God was moving them more deeply into the place of conviction, faith and awakening to the truth that EVERYTHING has been paid by Christ at the Cross.
It was then that I heard the Lord say:
‘I am raising up My people with a stronger conviction and a greater fire within them that roars, “IT IS DONE! It has ALL been paid for at the Cross and by the broken body and shed blood of the Lamb. IT IS DONE! IT IS DONE! IT IS DONE.”’
It was then that I began to see such a mighty shift taking place within their expectations, their prayers and their decrees. I watched as these ones were coming alive like never before in the revelation of what is theirs in Christ. This deeper awakening to the revelation of what Christ has purchased fuelled a greater boldness, broke heavy weariness and discouragement, and lit a fire within them that saw them praying and declaring in their lives from a greater place of victory.
I then heard the Lord speak again:
‘Where I am decreeing FINALITY, where I am decreeing CLOSED AND COVERED by My blood – in these great and mighty endings and severings that are taking place – I am bringing My people through new doors of a new day of healing, freedom and justice.’
When the Lord spoke the word ‘JUSTICE’ it felt like an earthquake happened in the Spirit.
I then heard the Lord speak again:
‘The endings and severings that I am bringing forth in this hour are going to see mighty demonstrations of My justice come forth with such power of My Spirit that will cause My people to tremble in awe and wonder of who I am – the Almighty One. My people, ARISE! I am increasing the revelation of the power of My blood in this hour. Raise your faith and expectations, for a MIGHTY FINALITY is taking place. I am the Lord your God, the One who brings justice on your behalf. The days of justice have BEGUN!’
