THIS TRANSITION IS BREAKING YOKES
Earlier in the week, I had a very simple yet profound vision that I knew was the Lord showing me what many people had been experiencing so that I could recognize it, then partner with Him to break and set them free from it.
So I'm going to share that dream with you, then I want to simply pray for you if this registers in any way as you're reading it.
In this vision, I saw people who were trying to walk, but they were having to crouch down really low, because there was a bar or a ceiling that was hanging low over them.
I was instantly reminded of what the Lord said to me a month ago, that there was a bar that was hanging low over the Church, and that He was raising the bar in this season, and setting a new standard.
I knew the Lord was speaking prophetically about nations, about places that the bar had been set low and that there was a functioning in office, and an assignment that had been low for so long, but that He was raising the bar and bringing us into a fullness of capacity and power.
And this image also stirred up what He'd been speaking to me about us coming into a levelling up and a rising in authority season, and so I knew this was also speaking into that.
But in this vision, the context of this bar was actually like an oppression or yoke. It was like there was a physical ceiling over people, and they were having to walk crouching down, like the game of limbo, in order to move.
This immediately made me think “People are living in limbo!” because you're not able to be fully freed to do, or to walk and operate the way you're meant to.
Living like this impairs your ability to function normally. If you can think about a person who, in the natural, would have to walk and live like this long-term, it would actually begin to affect their body and create disabilities, right?
And so, I think the Lord was showing me that there are many believers who have been living in this place of limitation for too long.
They have been living under this heavy yoke and ceiling that has been over them for a long time.
Then I instantly heard the Lord say, “I am breaking the yoke in this transition that many people have been under!”
So I asked the Lord, “What is this ceiling? What is this yoke that many people are under?”
And I heard this;
ALIGNMENT CEILINGS
The first thing I heard the Lord say was that this transition was actually breaking people free from ceilings that were contracts, religious contracts of covering and accountability, that weren't true covenant, so it brought them into bondage.
They were simply covenants of control, and many people who had not known the difference had come under those yokes and come under those ceilings, and it actually more than disabled them. It had created like a wounded orphan spirit underneath it.
And these people were frustrated because they knew they were made for more, yet because they'd been under these false coverings or yokes for so long, everything that came out of their mouth was twisted and disabled.
Everything that came out of them just was not the pure flow that they're meant to carry.
And so the Lord was showing me that in this transition, He's going to break that ceiling so you are aware of what you've been under, what you've been appeasing and living under for so long.
THE CEILING OF LIMITATIONS
And then the second thing I saw was actually where the enemy had placed almost like a “brass heaven” or a ceiling over people. And this is where it manifests in difficulties, financial difficulties, constant closed doors, frustrating bureaucratic red tape, and constant holes in your cup.
It's like the grace to be able to flourish and to prosper and to multiply and to do well with what God's given you, was not there, and things felt constantly tedious and hard.
And no matter what you did, it's like those things just haven't been working.
And I felt this so strongly for so many people that this is what people have been facing, and creating a different kind of disability—the disability of impaired faith and hope.
And this is where hope deferred creeps in, this is where that deep frustration comes in, and it begins to twist you, begins to frustrate you, and actually discourages you in your calling.
And so in this transition, the Lord is actually setting people free from that, and you're gonna come out of that place of bondage.
THE CEILING OF TRIGGERS
And the third thing was actually your own limitations, where I saw that people had been partnering with mindsets of insecurities and fears.
And it actually brought them into a place where they were experiencing bondage and a yoke from their own words, and their own insecurities that have been rising up in this past season.
It was where triggers to past painful and traumatic experiences had created a blockage around you to anything good. Insulating you from the goodness and favor of the Lord. So it has to break right now.
So what I want you to be aware of is that in this transition right now, God is actually setting us free from many decades of limitations, which is why this can be hard to notice for some. It’s become normal.
He's breaking these yokes once and for all.
And I believe it's a deliverance moment for so many people, especially voices that God's called to the front lines in this hour.
And He's asking us if we'll partner with Him to remove anything and everything that is over us that should not be there.
So if this is you today and you're reading this, and you can recognise that there's been some limitations over you - I want you to simply pray with me right now;
“Lord, break the yoke. Lord, break the yoke that's been over me, whether it's been a yoke through wrong partnership and alignment, break that right now. Lord, if it's been a yoke from the enemy to stifle me and to delay and prevent me, Lord, break it right now. And, Lord, if there's been any insecurities that have been going on in my life, break them right now and set me free in the name of Jesus.”
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” Isiah 10:27
“Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?” Isaiah 58:6
