“Hear O Israel— The Lord our God, the Lord is One.” Deut. 6:4 Again we stand in a prophetic moment, a new place, yet familiar. Cast off the familiar, rise up with a new level of excitement and anticipation. “I have come, by My Word, to liberate you from the past, from generational entanglements and perceived failures. I will remove you from the mire in which you are now standing. I will renew your hope. I have framed your future. Stop, look and listen to what My Spirit is saying. Open your eyes. I will loose your lips for the speaking of My Word”, says the Lord.
