There Is A New Day Coming
Barry Bowers
Psalm 113:2-4 Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
It has been a long while since I have intentionally sat down to write a message like this in the power of the Holy Spirit. There have been a great deal of good things happening in my life in these past several months, and there have also been a great number of challenges. My family and I have been stepping out in faith more and more with each and every passing day, and we are taking Holy Spirit filled steps that have been causing us all to come out of our comfort zones. Even now as I write these words I can sense the powerful presence of God within my heart, and it is difficult to see the keyboard with tears welling up within my eyes. It seems that we have come such a long way, but in our hearts we know we have so much further to go in our pursuit of Christ likeness. It is not something that can be easily grasped by any earthly means, and it requires that we give up more and more of who we have become in this world to be more like who Jesus is lovingly preparing us, in all our uniqueness and diversity, to be. Our journey here on this earth is the training ground that God has placed us on in preparation for our eternal assignments with him in the heavenly realms of all that is good and holy. There are many within the Body of Christ who have lost perspective on this issue, or are just not aware of the eternal significance of their presence on this earth.
God has placed it within my heart to proclaim that “There is a New Day Coming”, and that we need to prepare the way for what he is about to pour out within our midst. It will be unlike anything any of us have ever had to endure before, and it will work effectively to separate the wheat from the tares. Jesus has asked us to pray that it would be on earth as it is in heaven. He prayed himself, that we would all be one, just as He, the Father and the Holy Spirit are one. This will never happen by any effort brought forth in the flesh. It will not come by any earthly power we could ever muster on this planet. It can only come in the power of the Holy Spirit as we submit ourselves more and more to the authority of the King of kings and Lord of lords.
A time of spiritual cleansing is coming to the church as God seeks to ready his bride for the work that needs to be done in preparation for the coming Great Harvest. It is for freedom’s sake that Christ has set us free, but the Body of Christ has not been walking in that freedom. The church is in bondage to a host of evil and demonic issues that have worked effectively to keep the church busy, divided and confused. The current state of moral decay in America bears witness to this truth, but a time is soon coming when God will pour out his Spirit on all those who are seeking his heart for the greatest movement of his presence that the world has ever known.
Haggai 2:6-7 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty.
The birth pangs of this shaking became more manifest in the morning of that fateful day on September 11. This was a Holy Spirit filled pronouncement to the heart of America, THAT WE ARE AT WAR……!! The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” But yet each day many of us struggle in the flesh just to get through the day oblivious to the blessings that God wants to pour into our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. This great deception has kept many in the church from turning to God as their only source of life and provision. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. I am sending this message to proclaim to all who may have an ear to hear it, that God is about to bless the seekers in unimaginable ways, and that this will be their year of jubilee. All bondages will be broken, all captives will be set free, and all darkness with be dispelled in the lives of those who are seeking Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength. When the earth shakes once more, they will rise up and answer the call of God to be his hands, and feet, and to be his voice and his heart.
Isaiah 40:3 A voice of one calling: "In the desert prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God.
The message that the Lord has placed upon my heart to proclaim echo’s that which can be found in Isaiah 40:3. Prepare your hearts, your homes, your churches and your finances for the coming of the Lord’s harvest. Prepare your spirit to see God move in the land of the living. Seek him now for the cleansing and purifying of your life. Seek him for greater revelation, wisdom and discernment. Seek his strength so that you may be girded up for what is about to come upon us. For those who are not seeking God now in preparation for this great movement of his Spirit will be taken by surprise, and everything that you now have will be consumed by this shaking. It is not America that God loves, it is his people who many generations ago laid down their lives to forge and pioneer a path to freedom. Not just freedom for some, but for all God’s children. This is the very heart of God for our nation and for this earth. We have entered into a time where God has prepared a whole new generation of pioneers who will once again lay down their lives so that others can be free. These will be pioneers who have already committed in their hearts to love Jesus and his people more then they love themselves. They have become the feet washers of this present age, and they are fighting the good fight with a warrior’s heart like that of King David. All giants will be slain and all mountains will be laid low. All the rivers they encounter will be crossed by their bridge of faith, and wherever they place their feet the promised land of God will become manifest.
This is the standard that God is raising up against the tide of evil that has overcome this great land, and it will become increasingly more manifest in the coming days, weeks and months. What say you my dear friend, what say you? Did not God say that he has chosen you and that you did not chose him? Did he not say that you would do even greater things in his name? Did he not say that through Christ all things are possible? Are you prepared to be a laborer in this Great Harvest? Are you seeking the heart of God for yourself and for your family for such a time as this? Jesus said: “That a time is coming and has now come, when true worshipers will worship him in spirit and in truth.” THAT TIME HAS NOW COME and we must seek to bow down to the one true God, the great I AM….Jesus Christ our Lord, our King and our Savior.
Psalm 113:2-4 Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
With much love, respect, thankfulness and praise.
