The Song of the Overcomers

Gloria Shepherd

I call you my overcomers says the Lord, for you are my overcomers in this hour, stepping into a new land, with a new song in your hearts. You are blessed in this hour, for in this hour, I have brought you to the place where you have been given the opportunity to overcome all that tried to stop you from pressing through to the otherside. To those who have just come through these times, I give you a song to sing as you come into the promised land, which I give to you, to take for your possession in this hour. It is the kingdoms of the king, I hand it to you, and with it the scepter, which gives you divine authority and power to rule the kingdoms of the king in this hour. For you have overcome in this hour. This is the song of the overcomer in this hour.

The song which was sung on the lips of those who have just come through as overcomers was the song of praise which they sang as they pressed through the wilderness to the other side. Rejoice, my overcomers, for this is the day to rejoice, and dance and sing before me as I bring you up to the top of the mountain of Zion. For you have been faithful to press through until you have gone through to the other side. You have not given up in the face of adversity, nor grumbled and complained before me, about what you faced. 'Because you have rejoiced in all that you have faced, and have been faithful to not seek your own will and purposes in this hour, I will bless you mightily in this hour. Your song will be the song of Zion, for I will bless you beyond measure for your hearts have been pure and holy before me, and you have pressed through the hard places in the wilderness and not complained, nor grumbled in the hard pressings which I allowed. You have rejoiced and sang the song of the overcomer which is the new song of my third day in this hour. For it is those who have not sought their own glory, nor positions, nor merit before men, who I will exalt in this day. Because they have not desired it, nor sought after it, I will give it to them. Because they have done a good work unto me, I will bless them more than they could have ever imagined. I am exalting the meek and humble in this hour, for their hearts have been before me seeking my face, and my will and desires and purposes in this time. Because they have sought that which is good before me, I will bless them greatly.

Out of the sea of sufferings and trials has been birthed a new song from this 3rd day, a song of triumph, a song of the overcomers, for they have overcome in this hour. Out of the death is birthed life, resurrection life that I will fill those who have come through this time. For by obedience and submission at the cross, death was overcome. Is it not the same today? Through the death of self, and all flesh, if you will overcome you will be come through to the promised land, which is the resurrection glory. I will fill you up and you will rise up in this last hour, for you shall be called the overcomers.

For many of you, even now have come through the sifting time, that I have been doing in you. For I am burning out that which is not of me in you, and sifting it, and blowing away the chaff with the winds of my Holy Spirit. This is the hour of purifying my holy vessels for how can you enter into my presence, without being purged and made clean? It is a time of purifying, of being made holy in this hour, so you may enter into a place where my presence dwells. For no flesh can stand in my holy presence. For out of the death of self, I have birthed life, once again, for this new day. For my remnant shall be called the overcomers, they have overcome in this 3rd day, for such a time as this. I am raising them up as one child, in this 3rd day, in my glory as manifested sons & daughters of my glory for this appointed hour and time.

I am taking those who have allowed themselves to settle into the comfort zones in me, to be removed out of those places in this hour. To be pressed into the hard places until they can come into this place, also. For there is no victory in comfort, nor can life be birthed out of such a place as that. I am bringing, many now, into this new place, now, a new beginning. To seek me in the higher ground. Do not let the seeds of apathy take root in your hearts, but press in until you go higher in me. Let me set a fire in each of you, to seek more of me. This a new time, and new beginning, which I am bringing you into. Seek me and press in, until you press into that higher ground where I dwell. I want to raise you up into my glory in this third day, bring you into the place where you will enter into the resurrection life of my glory, for my purposes to be birthed and fulfilled in you and through you in this earth.

Out of despair, and the trials and sufferings, I have birthed life. I have birthed a new man, a troop of overcomers who are marching to a different beat, to another song, the song of praise springs forth out of their hearts and out of their lips they sing the song of praise to me as they press through the wilderness through to the otherside. Joy and gladness fill their hearts to overflow in the river of joy, with the song of Zion bubbling out of their hearts, as they dance and leap and jump as they enter the promised land, up to the top of the mountain where his presence dwells. It is this song that they sing that is birthed out of their hearts that comes up from the earth to me, as one heart and one mind in the unity of the spirit.
