"Shall not my people awake in this hour? Am I
not stirring my people that they may see that which
I desire, and that they may arise and enter into
that which I have prepared? I say, awake and
arise, and be not content to dwell in the dust of
your carnal ways. Shake yourself loose
from that which has held you captive. (Isa.
52:1-2). Arise, I say, and see that inheritance
which I have prepared for you. For I am
causing my people to see that which is their
inheritance, and I am causing them to arise and
enter in. My people have been bound by the
traditions of men long enough. They have been held
captive long enough. Now I am causing them to
shake themselves loose and to arise to their
heritage in me. For my righteousness and my
salvation are being prepared before me. I am
readying my people to enter fully into my righteous
ways, and my salvation shall uphold them and provide
that which they need. Truly are a people now
beginning to arise and leave behind that which has
bound them, and they are making their way into that
which is of my truth and my
righteousness.
So arise, my people, for the day of
your deliverance is at hand. Truly a people
shall return to Zion and rebuild the waste
places and the former desolations, and they shall be
called the repairers of the breach. (Isa. 58:12).
For in this day a remnant is returning to the
ways of their God, and they shall magnify the Lord
in all that they do.
Therefore the Lord would say to His
people, "Listen!" Listen to that which
I am speaking to you; let me show you by the
revelation of my Spirit that which I purpose in this
day. Begin to realize that which is your right and
your inheritance in Christ. Realize that my people
are living far below their covenant rights.
They have barely begun to enter into that which is
made available by the sacrifice of Christ, as He
once for all confirmed the covenant of eternal
redemption. So my people, will you not let me open
your eyes to behold that which is yours. Look, I
say, to me and behold that which I am making
known unto those who will hearken to my
Word.
And then I would say to you,
awake and arise. Awake and let me show you the
mighty strength of your God; awake and behold
the mighty arm of the Lord. For even now am I ready
to move on the behalf of those who will awaken out
of their lethargy and call on me. And then
will you not arise? Arise, I say, and possess
your heritage. For why will you remain
in the bondage of your former traditions? Why
will you not shake yourself loose and
forget that which has blinded you and held
you, and enter into that revelation which I
am making known in this hour?" (end of
prophecy)
In connection with this prophecy, read
carefully the the 51st and 52nd chapters of Isaiah.
Notice in these two chapters the repeated use of the
words, "Hearken," "Awake," and "Arise.” It is a
message to those who are willing to hear the call of
the Lord to come out of Babylon and return to
Zion (51:11, 52:11), to shake themselves loose from
their bondages and limitations in the land of
captivity and see the mighty arm of the Lord move as
in former days (51:9). Truly this is now being
fulfilled as the Lord is causing a remnant to
enter into His purposes and put on the beautiful
garments of His light and truth (52:1). See
also Ephes. 5:14.
