As I reflected on the decade,
Isaiah 45:3 (TPT) I will give you hidden treasures of darkness and wealth waiting in secret sites so that you recognize me, for it is I, Yahweh, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. (Footnote: darkness – God is light, what could be these treasures of darkness? It is the things/truths/revelation that dark powers have stolen from us, God’s people. We will reclaim what was originally part of our inheritance that was stolen and perverted. Revelation that was once hidden will now be brought to light.)
Beth (B) – Lord, I really feel this in my Spirit – the revelation – hidden by what appears in the natural to be 10 years of famine, loss, financial, yes, but bigger – the dreams, prophetic visions, hopes and aspirations, and you say nothing is done. I am not finished.
God (G) – What you see is not what you get. What I see is what you get, and I see it clearly.
B – Lord show me. Show us. Show us again your vision, your dreams, your hopes, your plans and help me to resettle my eyes on your way. For so long, so much has been piled on us, the darkness has shaken us and has diminished the fresh, hope, dream in me. Shake us loose Lord – shake out the rug – all the filth goes and we are able to see again – this is my prayer Lord to have fresh revelation of your plans.
Isaiah 45:11b (TPT) “Why do you question me about the destiny of my children or tell me what to do with my children and what I have made?”
B – Reminded Lord to pray your way. I do not know (what or enough) to ask, but I can pray your way, Lord. I do not know – I can pray – your way Lord – remove the darkness that covers and reveal the hidden treasures, Lord. Lord, you are in the reclamation business – reclaim Lord – all that has been stolen Lord – I pray for all to be revealed Lord – All Lord. I pray for strength and stamina to stand with you Lord. All Lord. The darkness of the decade Lord that keeps us today from fully seeing as you see Lord – I pray you will reveal All the hidden treasures of the past decade and empower us to walk into it with all the promises and treasure – leaving the cloak and heaviness of the dark season behind – to see that you brought us through, and you are faithful and we are not there now. We are in a new place with you. We are in a new time with you. Lord, show us the equipping, empowering, building, fashioning that was done in the past decade and show us specifically what we are called to take into the new and show us specifically what you want us to leave at the cross in the behind, past. Lord, I pray for a renewal, a refreshing, a washing, a New place, a New Time, a New season and help me to be uncovered, unencumbered, unweighted by the cloak of darkness.
