Let the People Worship, Let the Earth Rejoice, Let the Rivers Flow!

As I was praying this morning I saw the people in the earth rejoicing as the darkness (corruption, sin, idolatry in the systems of the world) was being lifted/pushed back and the LIGHT (light of Christ) was coming in. I could see the people rejoicing in the street, whether this was literal or only symbolic I am not sure. I could see people saying Hallelujah, and thank you Jesus, that have never uttered those words before. The Lord said He has heard our prayers, our cries and our repentance and now He wants our praise and our worship. He said "many have prayed in fear and repented in fear but have never given me praise and worship, for long enough has my worship been given away to idols, men, and systems, I will now receive my worship unto myself". To praise God and Worship God is to KNOW God and to testify of who He is, many will see during this time who the Lord is and they will worship and they will praise the one and only true and living God. The salvation and revival that many have prophesied is now here. This is not a one man show, many have already turned their hearts to God and become believers for the spirit of the Lord has ministered to them in their nations, in their homes and even their hospital beds.

As I cried at the spiritual sight that was before me, the Lord impressed upon me, that the

earth will rejoice. He said we speak of the earth groaning but rarely speak of the earth rejoicing. The Lord said that because the plans of man are being thwarted, the plans that have tried to force and expedite my process, the plans that have tried to pervert my word and the timing of bible prophecy will fail. There have been things unspoken, things that have been speculated about that were created by the hands of man, these things have been created to mimic or "line up with scripture" but it is only to deceive and distract, but these plans are being confused and overturned and because of this the earth will rejoice, for the time is not yet and only God is God. "Only I set the time, and in MY time all things will be fullfilled. Yes the times will get worse but the time is not now for what shall be," says the Lord. The earth rejoices for the healing of the land, that is preceded by the revival, recovery and healing of His people.

The Lord pressed upon me weeks ago the phrase "Rushing waters, and purifying streams." Recently, I have seen articles about waters becoming clear because of less traffic,etc. and the Lord echoed these words into my spirit and brought clarity. The rushing waters are symbolic of His spirit pouring over the earth, cleansing and resetting, these are the waters that are being poured upon the generations (Isaiah 44:3). The purifying streams are symbolic of Him purifying the rivers of living water coming forth out of His vessels and those that hold power and authority over His people. These streams/rivers flow into all of the earth and its nations.

These things are to be for only a set time, again the time will change and what was received from the Lord will be needed to endure that present time.

Ezekiel 47:7-9

The he said to me: "This water flows toward the easter region, goes down into the valley, and enters teh sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. And it shall be that every living things that moves, wherever the river goes, will live. There will be a great multitude of fish because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everytihng will live wherever the river goes.

Amos 5:24

"But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream."

Psalm 46:4

"There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High."

Psalm 96

1-2 Sing God a brand-new song!

Earth and everyone in it, sing!

Sing to God—worship God!

2-3Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,

Take the news of his glory to the lost,

News of his wonders to one and all!

4-5For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs.

His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap;

Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags.

5-6God made the heavens—

Royal splendor radiates from him,

A powerful beauty sets him apart.

7Bravo, God, Bravo!

Everyone join in the great shout: Encore!

In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might.

8-9Bring gifts and celebrate,

Bow before the beauty of God,

Then to your knees—everyone worship!

10Get out the message—God Rules!

He put the world on a firm foundation;

He treats everyone fair and square.

11Let’s hear it from Sky,

With Earth joining in,

And a huge round of applause from Sea.

12Let Wilderness turn cartwheels,

Animals, come dance,

Put every tree of the forest in the choir—

13An extravaganza before God as he comes,

As he comes to set everything right on earth,

Set everything right, treat everyone fair.
