JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT YOU COULDN’T TAKE ANOTHER STEP…
This morning I had an encounter with the Lord and He showed me many who have been feeling like "they just cannot take another step".
The Lord was showing me lots of things coming against the body of Christ that is leaving God's people in a place where they feel like they cannot take another step forward.
I saw such a weariness over many from 'fighting constant battles'. Many were feeling like they had been backed into a corner with such pressure, that each step forward to come 'out' of that place felt like a marathon.
There were so many cries I could hear in the Spirit "Lord, I'm tired.. Jesus I am so tired… I don't think I can take another step forward.." and the interesting thing is.. I saw these cries coming from two different areas.
One area was the area of pushing so hard against circumstances, opposition and lack of breakthrough that the soul of many had become weary. The second area was those who have moved into a season of great acceleration where there is budding breakthrough and God is moving powerfully and quickly, but have found themselves battling against "pressures" and "criticisms" and "expectations" from others that the Lord did not place upon them. Over both of these areas I saw a spirit of intimidation coming hard against the people of God and it was 'hooking into' insecurity and fear of man. These 'issues' of the soul were coming up quickly.
As I watched this taking place, I saw Him! Beautiful Jesus! The One with burning love and compassion in His eyes. The One who IS LIFE, our FIRST LOVE, our BEAUTIFUL Saviour.
He stood right in the middle of this huge group of weary saints, and my vision was suddenly enlarged, and I saw God's people in quicksand. Feeling like they were being overcome..!!!
Instantly, Jesus opens His mouth and FIRE comes out of His mouth.. It was the FIRE OF HIS LOVE.. I could see His heart BURNING with love for His people. His heart was ON FIRE.. BURNING PASSIONATE LOVE… He then speaks "Just when you thought you couldn't take another step.. MY POWER IS BEING MADE PERFECT IN YOUR WEAKNESS!!! I AM HERE TO SHOW MYSELF STRONG!!! I AM YOUR DELIVERER! YOU ARE ENTERING THE GREATEST ENCOUNTERS WITH MY POWER THAT YOU HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED."
As this fire flowed from His heart and out of His mouth it became a HUGE RIVER! A RIVER OF FIRE that was spreading all throughout these weary saints and His eyes FULL OF BURNING LOVE AND JOY, with great expectation and excitement He speaks "COME IN, COME IN, COME IN!!!!"
The fire spread all around the quicksand, the areas where God's people felt SO weary and SO stuck, feeling like they were unable to move on and INSTANTLY they were delivered, lifted up and they stepped into the river flowing, the rive of the burning fire of His love.
He laughed and laughed and He said "Just when you thought you could not take another step.. ENCOUNTERS with My POWER, My LOVE are opening up all around you, releasing JOY, SO MUCH JOY like you have never known… rapid impartations of My JOY… INCREASE upon INCREASE!! Not only are you being restored, mind, soul, heart and body, you are being STRENGTHENED. In MY JOY you will find your strength!!! More, More, More, More, More and More. Wave, upon wave, upon wave, upon wave of My burning love is bringing SUDDEN transformation and increase. Not only STRENGTH and RESTORATION but an EXTENSION of capacity, and from where you have dragged your feet on the ground with your head down, I am placing a SPRING in your step, this is a new day, and I am LIFTING your head.. JOY!!!!!!!!!"
"I am breaking through, and I am SHOWING UP and SHOWING OUT!!!!! EXPLOSIVE demonstrations of My power that is being made PERFECT in your weakness!!!"
Each time he said, "My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness." So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
"The joy of the Lord is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10)
"You called out to Me in your time of trouble and I rescued you." (Psalm 81:7 TPT)

I had malaria in Africa and died and the LORD raised me from that state. But I could not even raise my arm off the bed more than an inch. It has taken me 7 years of recovery and it was for the reason to teach me what HE wanted me to learn about eating for a healthy body to be fit for what HE has for me to do. Now HE has me praying for the sick. I now feel good and no pain but I have no energy. Like I can not put one foot in front of the other. But I keep going. I want the LORD to heal my eyes from mattering and stringing puss & some time blurred vision. HE is so faithful to us and know HE give me what I have need of at any given time when it comes. Be3

Dear Lana, first of all, thank you for your precious ministry. I have followed you through email and Facebook this past year and have been so blessed and encouraged by the word of the Lord. You are truly a voice of the for such a time as this. I wanted to tell you the word you gave, just when you thought you couldn’t take another step, was so mine. My husband and I were just having a conversation about where we have been for such a long time in our life and we feel so at the end of everything. I have been crying out to Jesus many times about how weary I’ve become almost as though I was abandoned. The battles have been relentless and yet I know what the word says but everything has seem so contrary. Please pray for me and my family that breakthrough will come quickly. God bless you for being such an encourager to the body of Christ.

I keep reading about breakthrough and I am so so tired. This is exactly what I’ve been crying out to Jesus about! “I’m tired!” I don’t have it in me to go another step!! I don’t!! I’m always afraid this “fire” will pass me by bcc I’m so weak worn and weary from years and fighting and refining. I’m waiting land waiting and waiting on this breakthrough, this rejuvenation in Him and I’m getting wearisome of it. Please in holding on as best I can!! Holding on for it. Holding out for it!!

Lana, I am a counselor who works with spiritually and sexually abused individuals, increasingly the occult and satanism has become a part of the content of those with whom I work. God has anointed me to work with this group of people, and I can, only because of the power of my own testimony and the blood of the lamb (Rev. 12:11). Our Father has also called me to publish a book about my testimony.
The hour you posted this word I had been fighting with insecurity and the fear of man. My work week is also more full than ever before with people who need a touch from Jesus. I realize, based on the word of the Lord, I received a double wammy! Immediately God settled me after I read this word out loud to myself and my husband.
This is also a critical time for survivors of satanic and ritual abuse who may have experienced or witnessed terrible things in their life during the 13 Days of Preparation, April 19th- May 1st BUT God be glorified and NOT the enemy! God, who created all the earth! I will not be silent and will walk with Jesus proclaiming
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”Luke 4:18-19
AND
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
7 to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
8 “I am the Lord; that is my name!
I will not yield my glory to another
or my praise to idols.
9 See, the former things have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce them to you.” Isaiah 42: 6-9
This is my proclamation. Bless you. Bless the work and the word of the Lord that flows out of you and onto God’s people. Amen

Darcy, thank you for sharing this! I so needed to hear of your personal story as you try to help these people. I feel a similar calling and the dates you mentioned have been heavy in my heart this week. There are so many awful anniversaries within this time frame. My heart has been breaking heavily over these this year. Thank you also for sharing the verses you did! I pray the Lord continues to cover you and sustain you as you love on others in His name. ♡
