I HEARD THE LORD SAY ‘GRAB YOUR STAKE AND CLAIM THE SPACE’

Recently I heard the Lord say, ‘Grab your stake and claim the space’.

When the Lord spoke these words, I could see so many in the body of Christ still in battles over places and spaces the Lord has called them to occupy. I could see so many that were still in long standing battles over the place that the Lord has called them, the territory the Lord has promised them, what the Lord is calling them to put their hands to and apprehending what He has promised.

I could feel such a cry of desperation from the hearts of many to the Lord, I could hear the cries in the spirit, ‘How much longer Lord?’. I could feel the deep hopelessness and despair in many hearts where the temptation to align with ‘It’s never going to change’ or losing hope completely in seeing the manifestation of what He has spoken and many still so deeply weary.

While I could feel these cries of desperation in the hearts of many crying out to the Lord and the battle for hope still raging within many, I could hear and feel the tailwind of His Spirit increasing. I could feel the heart of the Lord speaking to many of His faithfulness. I could hear the Lord speaking, ‘I AM and WILL CONTINUE TO refresh My people’. The love of God that I could feel for His people and the weary saints in this encounter was tangible. He IS and WILL CONTINUE TO refresh His people.

As I continued to lean in and listen to His heart, I heard:
‘My people, I am with you, and I am faithful to do that which I have promised. I am faithful to fulfil that which I have spoken to you and the land and territories I have promised you and that I have called you to. To those of you who are looking at things that look like failure, take your eyes off what looks like failure and look to Me for I am FAITHFUL. I am moving in ways that you cannot even see, and I am doing things that have not yet even been revealed to you, but soon you will see what I have been doing behind the scenes and you will be in awe of My mighty works. I say unto you, do not move your eyes from My faithfulness. For I am FAITHFUL to provide. I am FAITHFUL to do what I have promised (Hebrews 10:23) and I am causing you to arise in a dependency, strength and place of intimacy in Me that you have not known before.

‘The enemy has come into the ears of many of you and has been speaking to you about how the battle in this season and seasons past has affected you, but I say unto you, is anything in the natural realm greater than Me and My power? I say unto you, look not to what the enemy is speaking. Focus not upon woes and natural realm effects, LOOK TO ME. For in all that you have endured and are enduring by My Mighty hand, I have been establishing you, strengthening you and drawing you into a place of intimacy with Me and a place of sustenance and life in Me that you have not known before. Do not allow your emotions to be the leading voice. Acknowledge what is in your heart and bring your heart and your grief, pain and trauma to Me, but listen to Me, My people, these things do not get the loudest voice or the leading voice in your lives. My voice and My truth does and in all that you have been facing and enduring, I have been establishing you in My truth and have been stirring a hunger within you for My truth like you have not experienced before.

‘I say unto you, do not give up and do not give up hope, for I am moving in your midst in greater ways than you know and you are going to begin to see in greater ways in this hour how I am FOR YOU and NOT against you (Romans 8:31) . Watch what the power of My mighty hand is going to bring forth out of seasons that you thought were the darkest, hardest and most broken. Watch what I am going to bring forth. I say unto you, you shall meet and know resurrection power, My resurrection power in ways that you have not seen and known before. I am not only causing your hearts to come alive again as you encounter My truth and My nature and power, but I am causing a mighty sudden realignment to take place in your lives as you seek Me. The enemy has come relentlessly to cause chaos and hinder, but I say unto you, as you continue to trust Me and look to Me, you shall see a mighty demonstration of My powerful hand bring divine order in greater ways into your lives.

‘I say unto you, do not sit back idly, do not run from where I have called you, do not turn your face in hopelessness from what I have promised you and called you to occupy and to do, I am calling you to keep your eyes on Me and GRAB YOUR STAKE AND CLAIM THE SPACE. There are many that have removed their stake of faith because of the intensity of the battle. I say unto you, GRAB YOUR STAKE OF FAITH AGAIN AND CLAIM THE SPACE. The enemy has been attempting to lull many of you into deep places of despair, giving up and withdrawing, but I say unto you NOW is the time for you to TAKE YOUR STAKE OF FAITH AND CLAIM THE SPACE.

‘The hour requires your ferocious posture of faith, divine defiance against what the enemy is attempting to hinder and steal from you and to take a stand and CLAIM that which I have spoken to you and promised you. For I say unto you, many of you have fallen into doubt over what I have spoken and whether you heard right, but I say unto you, when you come out of the noise that the enemy is speaking, you will KNOW that you have heard My voice and that I have spoken to you. You know, that you know, that you know, that I have spoken to you.

‘The enemy is simply attempting to lure and bait you into unbelief. I say unto you, where some feel their hearts have fallen into unbelief, come to Me and repent and cry out, “Help me in my unbelief” and My people, I am here to help you. For ALL that I ask you to do, I have given you My grace and My strength. I say unto you, I am breathing upon you by My Spirit to strengthen you. My tailwind is increasing to refresh, carry and empower you. I say unto you My people, REFUSE to move from what I have called you to. As you look to Me, I am empowering you to remain. GRAB YOUR STAKE and CLAIM THE SPACE that I have promised you. I say unto you, I am bringing you into greater depths of healing, freedom and faith. STAKE YOUR CLAIM in the spirit by faith.

‘The attack upon many of your mouths to silence you, I say unto you, ARISE and OPEN YOUR MOUTHS and DECLARE that which I have spoken. Speak not words of death over that which I have promised you and the territories I have called you to occupy, because of weariness or despair.

‘Put your STAKE OF FAITH in the ground again, for there is about to be a mighty breaking open of what is opposing that which I have called you to occupy and I will deliver the enemy into your hands, and a mighty move of My Spirit will be in your midst, but you MUST refuse to move and REMAIN resolved in what I have spoken.’
