The other day I read a prophetic word that really resonated with me. Later that day, someone sent me the same prophetic word – I felt it was a confirmation that I was to read this word. Over the next few days, I was sent this word from different people. There is one part in particular I want to emphasize today…
I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, “You have been in a season of ‘almost.’ You have seen the promise from a distance. You have felt its nearness in the night watches. Yet, like a horizon that retreats as you approach, it has seemed just beyond your grasp. You have questioned My timing. You have wondered if the promise was for you, or if you misheard My voice.
Your ‘almost’ is ending. Your ‘not yet’ is becoming “now.” I am not a God of delay, but of divine appointment. There is a set time for favor (Psalm 102:13). That time is upon you. The clock of heaven has struck the hour for your turnaround.
What was sown in tears is now rising from the ground not as a tender shoot, but as a harvest so sudden and so full, it will require new barns. The ground of your life has been hard, plowed by disappointment and weathered by waiting. This was not punishment; it was preparation. The hardness was breaking open to receive a deeper seed, a seed of resilience, of unwavering faith. That breaking is complete. The soil is now fertile, soft, and ready to bring forth what has been germinating in the hidden place.
A door you have pushed against for years; a door of opportunity, of relationship, of financial breakthrough has remained shut, not because it was locked, but because it was timed. My hand is now on the key. I am turning it. The mechanism you could not force is aligning at My touch. You will not need to beat the door down; you will simply find it opening before you, as if inviting you in.
The long, outgoing tide that seemed to pull your hopes out to sea is reversing. The wind has shifted. What was receding is now returning not drip by drip, but as a wave of restoration. It will bring back what was lost, and with it, new treasures from the deep you never imagined. Prepare your nets for a catch that strains your capacity to receive.
Posture yourself in gratitude, not grievance. Your thankfulness for what is coming is the final act of faith that unlocks it. Release the timeline of man. Forget the calendar of your own planning. Watch for My sudden work.
Speak only in alignment with this word. Do not contradict My ‘now’ with your ‘not yet’ language. Call things that are not as though they are (Romans 4:17). For I am doing a quick work. It will not be a slow dawning, but a sudden sunrise. One moment, you will be in the familiar night of waiting; the next, you will be blinking in the brilliant light of a new day.
The set time is here. The promise is valid. Your faith has not been in vain.”

I love the last two paragraphs as this is what God has been speaking to me. First, thankfulness for what is to come will unlock all you are believing God for. And secondly, speak ONLY in alignment with Gods word.
God has been prompting me and almost everyone around me to watch our words. There is life and death in the power of our words. Our life follows our words. What are you speaking? Are you speaking only what you want to see or are you speaking the current circumstances that you would like to see changed?
We must, like God, call those things that be not as though they ALREADY are. The weak say, “I am strong.” The sick must then say, “I am healed.” Those in lack must say, “I have abundance in Christ.” We must learn to line our words up with ONLY what God says.
Today, I encourage you to give thanks daily for what is to come AND watch what you are saying for your life is indeed following your words.
