Jehu, you will see the breakthrough!

(This came as a poem of sorts in my waking hours. Addressed to the Jehu generation out there, the people and families with the task and call to no longer tolerate jezebel and to see a new bloodline in their home after generations of dysfunction)

Hey Jehu, I see you barely standing, but you know you can’t relent.

Under the strain of the unknown call to lead your family to safety and clear waters, you’ve paid everything to go where few choose to go.

And with the anthem of critics and assassins plenty, you still walked forward in obedience for the sake of your children, legacy, and many you will never even meet.

Jehu, you're not just a fighter and bloodline breaker; you are a pioneer and warrior..

Storming the prisons that once held you captive, you’re breaking through chains others won't.

But you don’t feel brave and like a warrior; you feel worn, heavy, and battered.

When your zeal ran out, and your fire was challenged, you had to run on raw faith and worship to survive the dark nights and screaming taunts from her high chamber.

Armor built on callous, and muscle upon wounds, you marched through wilderness seasons alone, fighting lions and bears none could see, and also battling the ones inside you, too.

“Where is the oil?” you would ask. “Where are the reinforcements to lift up my arms?”

The call to break Jezebel’s holds and devices has left many a fierce battler in tatters and even ruins at first, before the inevitable dawn breaks through.

And I feel the dawn coming, yet so many have fallen asleep. Awake, awake, oh sleeper, for this is where you see the light cut through the fog and lift the reproach that’s been like concrete.

Jehu, you got this, I hear the Lord saying, and there's a new authority coming to you.

The signet ring of your Lord in your hand to build what few have seen.

Health, wholeness, freedom, joy, and multiplication.. THRIVING and no longer surviving..

No more torment, chaos, and underlying sickness stealing your home..

For I am doing a new thing, can you see it? I am shaking off the doubt and fears that have led you to believe you will not see my goodness in the land of the living.

But Jehu, you will see, and you will behold the promise I gave you when I called you.

You will taste the blessing that comes from being faithful to do what others are too afraid to do and no longer tolerate her words or her food.

It has been the highest cost, but in the midst of it all, you have broken ground and laid a path so many will walk on.

But don’t give up now. Don’t wave your flag of surrender because the pressure is on, because you are so close to the breakthrough! 

Jehu, pick yourself up. 

Dust off her words. Clean away the slime. 

You are anointed for this. You are fashioned for this. 

I see Micah 2:13 over you as we begin this week;

“The One who breaks open the way will go up before them;  they will break through the gate and go out. Their King will pass through before them, the Lord at their head.” 

The Lord is going before you and clearing the road. 

Cleaning up the mess and cleansing your wounds. 

Jehu, you are going to see the breakthrough!
