When Jesus tells the parable of the ten virgins, He is not trying to frighten sincere believers. He is exposing a misunderstanding about readiness. “Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom” (Matthew 25:1, ESV). All ten are invited. All ten are waiting. All ten have lamps. From the outside, they look identical. This parable is not about obvious rebellion versus obedience. It is about inward reality.

Five are called wise. Five are called foolish. The difference is not morality. It is oil. The foolish took lamps but no oil. The wise took oil in jars with their lamps. Oil in Scripture consistently points to life, intimacy, and the Spirit of God. Lamps represent outward profession. Oil represents inward supply. You can look prepared and still lack what sustains you.

Then something deeply important happens. “As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept” (Matthew 25:5, ESV). Notice this carefully. All of them slept. Sleeping is not the issue. Delay is not the problem. Jesus is not condemning rest. He is showing that time exposes what is real. When the wait is long, performance eventually runs out. Only supply remains.

At midnight the cry goes out. Midnight is the hour of surprise, not scheduling. “Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6, ESV). Everyone wakes. Everyone trims their lamps. But suddenly the difference is revealed. The foolish lamps are going out. Not because they never burned, but because they were never sustained. Borrowed light always fades.

The foolish ask for oil. The answer sounds harsh, but it is honest. Oil cannot be shared. Relationship cannot be transferred. Intimacy cannot be borrowed. You cannot live on someone else’s revelation, someone else’s faith, or someone else’s history with God. Each person must receive oil for themselves.

Here is the revelation many miss. The foolish are not rejected for being immoral. They are rejected because they are unknown. “Truly, I say to you, I do not know you” (Matthew 25:12, ESV). This is not about loss of salvation through failure. It is about never having lived from relationship in the first place. Knowing in Scripture is relational language, not performance language.

Through the finished work of Jesus Christ, this parable becomes clearer and gentler. Oil is not something you earn by striving. It is something you receive by abiding. The Spirit is not given to those who work harder, but to those who believe. The wise virgins are not anxious achievers. They are those who have learned to live from supply rather than appearance.

The door is shut not because God is cruel, but because arrival has taken place. Preparation ends when fulfillment begins. The tragedy of the foolish virgins is not that they were late. It is that they lived on the outside of intimacy the entire time.

The application is not try harder to stay awake. It is receive oil now. Stop substituting activity for intimacy. Stop confusing outward readiness with inward life. The bridegroom is not looking for perfect lamps. He is looking for hearts filled with oil.

When Jesus speaks about a new patch on an old garment and new wine in old wineskins, He is not teaching improvement. He is announcing replacement. This parable is often softened into a lesson about balance or wisdom, but Jesus is doing something far more radical. He is declaring that the old system cannot be repaired, reinforced, or upgraded. It must be left behind entirely.

Jesus says, “No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made” (Matthew 9:16, ESV). The problem is not the cloth. The new cloth is good. The problem is the garment. The old garment has already been stretched, weathered, and shaped by time. When the new cloth begins to shrink, it exposes what was already fragile. Grace does not cause the tear. Grace reveals it.

Here is the revelation most people miss. Jesus is not warning people not to mix traditions. He is revealing that grace will always disrupt performance. When you introduce the finished work of Christ into a system built on effort, striving, and self righteousness, tension is inevitable. Not because grace is harsh, but because the old system cannot flex. It cannot stretch. It cannot survive freedom.

Then Jesus deepens the image. “Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed” (Matthew 9:17, ESV). Wine in Scripture often represents life, joy, and the work of the Spirit. New wine is alive. It expands. It ferments. Old wineskins were stiff, brittle, and already stretched to capacity. They were designed for a previous filling, not a living one.

This is not a message about behavior modification. It is a message about identity. The old wineskin represents the old way of relating to God through law, self effort, and religious obligation. The new wine represents the life of Christ Himself poured into the believer through the finished work of the cross. You cannot contain resurrection life inside a system built for performance.

Here is where peace comes in. Many believers feel like they are failing because they cannot sustain religious pressure. They try to patch grace onto law. They try to pour joy into obligation. They wonder why things keep tearing or bursting. Jesus is saying gently, the problem is not you. The problem is the container. You were never meant to carry the life of Christ inside a system of self maintenance.

Jesus concludes, “But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved” (Matthew 9:17, ESV). Fresh wineskins are soft. They are flexible. They expand with what they carry. This is what happens when righteousness is received as a gift, not achieved by effort. Grace creates capacity. Rest creates room. Assurance allows the life of Christ to grow without fear of rupture.

The finished work of Jesus did not come to help the old you behave better. It came to create a new you altogether. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17, ESV). New creation life requires a new container. Not a patched identity. Not a reinforced mindset. A completely new way of being.

The application is freeing and clear. Stop trying to fit grace into old expectations. Stop pouring the joy of Christ into fear driven Christianity. Let go of the need to preserve what Jesus came to fulfill and replace. Receive the new wineskin God has already given you in Christ. As you do, the life of Jesus will not strain you. It will sustain you.

New wine belongs in new wineskins. And you are already made new.

I believe 2026 is a year of divine alignment. The Lord is calling His people into renewed connection with His plans, His purposes, and His people for this hour. The pressure many experienced toward the end of 2025 was not without purpose…it carried increased revelation and divine clarity.
“Can two walk together, except they be agreed?”
Amos 3:3 (KJV)
Stretching, Trimming, and Planting
Like the curtains of the Tabernacle, God is stretching us to make room for His presence. Stretching always involves tension, and for many this has included a painful trimming of relationships. This is not loss…it is alignment. Heaven is reducing distraction to increase fruitfulness.
We cannot fulfill divine assignment outside of God-ordained connection. While the enemy pushes isolation, the Lord is emphasizing planting and positioning.
“Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.”
Psalm 92:13 (KJV)
5786…The Year of the Divine Connector
Prophetically, the Hebrew year 5786 is marked by the letter Vav, which represents connection, fastening, and joining. It is a season where heaven joins earth, purpose joins people, and what God joins is being secured by His hand.
This is not the year to be loosely connected. It is a year of being properly fastened to what God is building.
A Shift in Church Expression
Concerning the Church, we are going to see a decreasing effectiveness of large structures driven primarily by personality. I am not saying these expressions will disappear entirely, but we will see the collapse of what once stood strong alongside a reduced emphasis on this model as the primary measure of effectiveness.
In many ways, it will be a less-is-more season. We will see highly focused, highly effective ministries operating on a micro level while producing mega impact.
“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Zechariah 4:6 (KJV)
The Rise of Unlikely Pioneers
This will be a time of unlikely pioneers. Think of Peter in the New Testament…impulsive, passionate, sometimes misguided…yet chosen by God to preach the inaugural sermon of the early Church.
“God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise…”
1 Corinthians 1:27 (KJV)
We are going to see men and women arise who do not fit traditional molds, yet are anointed to accomplish extraordinary exploits in the earth.
A Return to Household Revival
Once again, the Lord is emphasizing a return to the Acts model of household revival. Expect to see house churches, home groups, and a renewed focus on the move of God being hosted in homes.
Some ministries will even reorganize to facilitate this wineskin.
“And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house…”
Acts 2:46 (KJV)
A Year of Divine Education
There will be a strong emphasis on schools, institutes, and cohorts as necessary training structures within the Body of Christ. This will be especially true for those expanding into kingdom mandates beyond traditional church expression.
God is not just raising attenders…He is forming builders.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry.”
Ephesians 4:11,12 (KJV)
Purity and the Rise of Worship Tribes
A purity movement is coming to worship and music ministry. There is a stripping away of demonic and secularized influence that has crept into the worship space.
We will see profound momentum around independent worship projects and the rise of worship tribes…distinct communities writing songs that touch the heart of God and keep the fire burning on the altar.
“Take away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.”
Amos 5:23 (KJV)
God is purifying sound.
Discipleship, Reformation, and Refining
There will be a renewed emphasis on real discipleship and reformation, impacting how we assemble, train, and cultivate people. Models that are no longer producing fruit will be re-evaluated.
Alongside this, there will be divine refining within local and regional churches and hubs. Some structures are swollen but ineffective, and the Lord is calling His people back to simplicity, obedience, and sustainability.
“Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.”
John 15:2 (KJV)
Divinely Directed Gatherings
There will be a significant shift away from gatherings that lack divine instruction. I had a vivid prophetic dream in which books labeled The Seer’s Path were placed before me. In the dream, the Lord emphasized that instructions are being given concerning how to gather, when to gather, and where to gather.
This is not the season to host gatherings out of tradition or formula. Heaven’s records…the chronicles of God…will direct divine assemblies. Expect unusual gatherings in unusual places, marked by supernatural grace and divine timing.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.”
Psalm 37:23 (KJV)
Closing Prayer
Father, I thank You that in 2026 I am aligned with Your will and Your purpose. I receive my place, my people, and my assignment. I thank You for divine connections and the manifest movement of Your Kingdom in the earth. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Do not despise the day of small beginnings….

Have you ever wondered what makes the wheel turn? We look at the greater works of the revolving wheel yet it is the cog in the wheel that gives it the driving force. A small part yet is functionally necessary, but of small significance within the larger operation of movement.

I believe in this hour God is revealing His son’s and daughter’s who have not despised the day of small beginnings. They have been ensures and enhances of continual progress. Many have considered them minor, but God says they are my MAJOR!

In old Swedish ‘cog’ means tooth. A tooth on the rim of a wheel adjusted to fit notches in another wheel to give or receive motion. Cog also refers to a person of low importance. Yet the cog within the wheel is of high value yet barely seen. God is bringing to the forefront the insignificant, He is levelling out the Body in order to unction and function as a Holy Team, as the Body is bonded together.

Ephesians 4:16 Amplified Bible

From Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in (unselfish) love.

There is no small or minor part in the Body of Christ. I see a blanket deliverance taking place over the Ecclesia in order to remove the scales off many eyes to see their worth in Christ. Many shall now become engaged into the greater destiny and purpose to which they have been called. Webs of deceit and lies that have enclosed the minds of many are being set free. The great emerging of the insignificant ones, those that have not despised the day of small beginnings are coming forth in His glorious Light.

When the cog and wheel are completely insync it produces power. There is a generating force of all the spiritual gifts when aligned within the Body of Christ. The cogs of many wheels rotate and transmit spiritual torque, the transformation Power of God. (Wheel within a Wheel)

The root meaning of COG is, Mind, Think and Know! To me this sounds like having the mind of Christ! And even better, COG…..Child Of God!

2 Peter 1:3 Amplified Bible

For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

Do not grow weary, in doing good…God sees, He knows All things. His omnipresent power is ever present. His Eyes roam the earth to and fro, nothing is hidden from His Sight.

Be encouraged to continue the good fight, God is with us, Emmanuel.

Galatian’s 6:9

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Prayer: I pray for the encouraging Power of The Holy Spirit to encapsulate you, may you be strengthened in His Love. I break off all discouragement and insignificant emotions and mind sets in Jesus Name. Those that have not despised small beginnings, I pray for a supernatural enlarging of their territory, as the true sons of God are being revealed. Amen.

Zechariah 4:10

For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the LORD, Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.”

Gods Right Hand is raised up high as a Mighty Standard against the demonic schemes of the enemy camps. A mighty swirling of the prayers, intercession, supplication and warfare have tipped a mighty bowl in the heavenly realm. The Eagle Seer anointing is at the helm, seared with the Roar of His Lions as the Army of God infiltrate and take back ground as in a holy spiritual sabotage against forces of wickedness in high places.

Be as wise as serpents and innocent as a dove. This is wisdom, and certainly a Godly tactic of plundering the enemy in this season! To know the enemy is a ploy to cut down at the weakest point and overthrow his footing as demonic roots become severed by the Sword of The Spirit and Holy Fire.

The main frame of spiritual sabotage in this time, is the overthrowing of religious tables and revealing the underbelly of satans plots and schemes. Tables here represent the world systems of structural mountains having being build on the ‘pride of life’, watch as an even greater exposure has now begun. These mountains are about to be cast into the sea and completely exposed of.

Mighty warfare has prevailed in the realms over the nations. Thrones of wickedness have been brought down and weakened. Leviathans tail is sweeping and is desperately trying to hold its grip on crumbling thrones. But a time has come such as this! The strategy of a holy spiritual sabotage is the destruction of the enemies camp and all of its property thus weakening the retaliation and obstructing the enemy in order to diminish their war effort. A deliberate subversion of breaking the back and trampling underfoot the works of darkness.

A warfare sound is arising! And it’s noisy! The word ‘sabat’ derives from the meaning of a shoe. And the French verb ‘saboter’ means to damage, botch, and bungle. And in a sense refers to make a  clattering noise with sabots/shoes! This the sound of Army Boots, not only in the realms but on earth a  mighty shifting is taking place as confusion is being struck into forces of darkness.

The enemy have their own manipulative ploys of sabotage and terrorism in the natural and spiritual. I believe God has raised a Banner of Great Authority by His Spirit, a great outpouring of divine intelligence released by the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding is being activated by His Excellence to thwart principalities and powers and high ranking mountains shall crumble at the Sound of His Voice.

Why a holy spiritual sabotage! It strips down ranking  and exposes heresy. It demolishes entitlement, legal rights. It disturbs unholy calibrations and renders powerless to prevent antics and wiles, as the army of darkness devour one another struck by confusion.

The Army of God is walking noisily! A sound is being heard! And in the Spirit of Excellence they shall counteract, subvert, undermine and destroy the works of the devil.

Sabotage is an act of destruction or interference intended to weaken an opponent.

Matthew 10:16
Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

Exodus 23:27
I will send My terror ahead of you, and I will throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you [in flight].

Exodus 14:24-25
“But just before dawn the Lord looked down on the Egyptian army from the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw their forces into total confusion. He twisted their chariot wheels, making their chariots difficult to drive.

Genesis 50:20
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.

Recalibration is what I heard!
In a  meeting a visiting Apostle spoke these words, “The Bride of Christ is being Awakened.” I then distinctly heard  Yeshua say, “I AM recalibrating the Spiritual Time Clock of My Bride!”

We are entering into the final hour and it is time to Awake! Awake! We have transitioned into the best of times and the worst of times. Like the Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens), the major themes of this secular book was duality, revolution and resurrection.
The clash of two kingdoms, The Kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness. BUT our King of kings is prevailing and the Body of Christ is forcefully advancing in His Might and in Power acceleration!

Now the five wise virgins who held  lamps filled with oil have their Spiritual Body Time Clock aligned for His soon return. The Issachar anointing of knowing the times and seasons is the mantle of which many have been bestowed, but I see this mantle expanding, being stretched out for such a time as this!

Yeshua is shifting the sands of time, a mighty internal recalibration has begun. Thus spiritual DNA biological syncing, being aligned to His DNA, Christ and His Bride, the Two as One. This is Holy Spirit governing His Body from deep within. (Deep calls unto Deep) We are seated with Him in the heavenly places. Why? So that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of His grace towards us. We are in a final age! The gates of hell will not prevail as we are more than conquerors through Christ, yet The Virgin Body needs to know the hour!

Just as the natural body creates a ‘time clock’ in the natural….A Great Awakening is shifting the Kingdom Body out of her slumber and Lamps are being filled with Oil. The wiles of the evil one are being exposed that have caused spiritual blindness, demonic piercing that has drained Oil. BUT God…I see dry lamps being filled with Fresh Oil and Green Oil!
(Psalm 92:10) Green Oil is New Oil  the most pure and the most precious of all the oils used for anointing.

A supernatural surge of Spiritual Newness, a full circle of a New Beginning is beginning to flood the Bride of Christ. Rhythms and cycles are being calibrated, thus, ‘To Know the Season.’
God is Eternal, He holds the Eternal Clock of Destiny and Purpose within Himself. Now a DNA Sound of God is reverberating and His Great Bride Army is being set according to His Spiritual Body Time Clock, awakened to the greatest coming Glory Outpouring!

1 Corinthians12:18 (Amplified Bible)
But now (as things really are), God has placed and arranged the parts in the body, each one of them, just as He willed and saw fit (with the best balance of function)

Yeshua is sensitising His Bride. His Light is infusing into every spiritual fibre of Her Being…that she may Become All in All. Fully activated, alert and full of wakefulness!
A Fresh Wind is blowing and time is being redeemed, and in the midst thereof He is setting His spiritual time recalibration to move into the phase of Awe and Wonder. The Seven Spirits of God manifesting in Full Radiance of The King. As a Master Perfumer, Yeshua is calibrating  the aroma of Holy Oil within the lamps of His Bride. DNA biological clock genes in Christ. Rhythms and Cycles according to His Pattern.

The natural body is governed by an internal clock, aligned within the cycle of day and night……God has a spiritual Bride of Christ Body with an innermost being ‘eternal clock’, aligned to spiritual seasons! Synchronised by The Blood – Holy DNA for the Great Awakening so that He may pour out greater portions of divine revelation and new season power word, released from His treasure chest of ancient and new! (Matthew 13:52)
Eternal patterns and cycles – just as a flower knows when to open and close.

Awake! Awake! This is a Watchers Anointing!
Spiritual Body Clock?! Yes, supernatural prophetic alignment, I believe is a type of spiritual algorithmic pattern that all has to do with – Christ in US! The hope of glory….Looking unto the Greatest Awakening and Glory Revolution!

Hebrews 11: 3 (Amplified Bible)
By faith (that is. With an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God) we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created ( formed, put in order and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

Collaboration of His Eternal Body Clock and Spiritual Algorithm is surging, projecting His Bride into Her final shift – Being infused by The Spirit of Wisdom….Her Lamps of Oil shall be FULL!

He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End…
Awake! Awake! Do you hear the Sound of the Bridegroom?

Ephesians 5:14
For this reason He says, “Awake, sleeper, And arise from the dead, And Christ will shine (as dawn) upon you and give you light.

Isaiah 60:1-2
Arise, shine, For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people, but the Lord, will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.

You Can Shut Every Door and Walk in Unshakable Victory

The enemy hasn’t invented anything new.
The same strategies he used in the Garden are the same strategies he uses now — because they still work on those who don’t recognize them.

But once you identify his schemes, you can destroy his access.

⸻

⚔️ 1. DISTRACTION — The First Open Door

Satan’s goal is simple:
Keep you too busy to be effective and too noisy to be sensitive to God.

Entertainment.
Stress.
Busyness.
Even “good things.”

Anything that pulls you away from the one necessary thing: sitting at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:41–42).

If the enemy can steal your focus, he can starve your spirit.

⸻

⚔️ 2. DOUBT — The Oldest Lie in Scripture

His first recorded words were:
“Did God really say?” (Genesis 3:1)

Doubt makes you question:
• God’s promises
• God’s goodness
• God’s timing
• Your identity
• Your calling

But Scripture is clear:
“Without faith it is impossible to please God.” (Hebrews 11:6)

Doubt tolerated becomes faith contaminated.

⸻

⚔️ 3. DIVISION — Satan’s Favorite Playground

The enemy thrives where unity dies.

Offense.
Gossip.
Jealousy.
Misunderstandings.
Silent grudges.

His goal?
Isolate you from the Body so you are unprotected, unaccountable, and vulnerable.

But the Word says unity commands the blessing (Psalm 133).
Guard it fiercely (Ephesians 4:3).

⸻

⚔️ 4. DECEPTION — When Truth Gets Twisted

Satan is subtle.
He won’t tell you sin is good — he’ll convince you it’s not that bad.

Little compromises.
Little justifications.
Little distortions of Scripture.

Jesus warned that many would be deceived (Matthew 24:11).
Where truth is not your anchor, deception becomes your atmosphere.

Stay rooted in the Word — not opinions, culture, or feelings.

⸻

⚔️ 5. DISCOURAGEMENT — His Weapon to Break Your Spirit

He hits you through:
• Delays
• Setbacks
• Comparison
• Fatigue
• Spiritual warfare

Why?
Because a discouraged believer is a disarmed believer.

But Scripture says:
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” (Nehemiah 8:10)

If he can drain your joy, he can weaken your fight.

Lift your eyes — your battle is temporary, but your victory is eternal.

⸻

🔥 THE GREATER TRUTH: JESUS ALREADY DISARMED HIM

(Colossians 2:15)

You are not fighting for victory —
You are fighting from victory.

Stand firm.
Put on the armor.
Resist the devil — and he will flee (James 4:7; Ephesians 6:11).

⸻

🙏 PRAYER OF AUTHORITY

Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank You for giving me authority to trample over every work of darkness (Luke 10:19).
Today, I expose and renounce every assignment of distraction, doubt, division, deception, and discouragement.
I shut every door I have opened through agreement with these lies, and I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind, my emotions, and my home.
Fill me with discernment, boldness, clarity, unity, and unshakeable faith.
Strengthen me to walk in Your truth and resist every scheme of the enemy.
In Jesus’ mighty name, amen!

⸻

🔥 DECLARATIONS — SPEAK THESE OUT LOUD

✨ Distraction is broken.
My mind is fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith.

✨ Doubt is broken.
I stand on the promises of God, and every lie collapses under the truth.

✨ Division is broken.
I choose forgiveness, unity, and Spirit-led relationships.

✨ Deception is broken.
I am anchored in Scripture; truth keeps me free.

✨ Discouragement is broken.
The joy of the Lord is my strength; hope rises in me.

🔥 I declare:
I am delivered.
I am equipped.
I am protected.
I am victorious — in Jesus’ name.

Today’s Memory #suchatime

The Issachar Anointing has been greatly highlighted to me in the Spirit. I see a Mantle Full of Eyes being stretched to the North, South, East and West. The tent pegs being forcefully plucked out of the ground as this Mantle moves in a blanket type manifestation, rolling out and supernaturally being stretched to a greater capacity.
The tribe of Issachar were mighty men of valour. They were men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do. They knew the times and seized opportunities, men of great experience, yet also having knowledge of the world.
This Great Awakening has need of the Issachar Anointing in order to discern the times!

Romans 13:11-14
And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than we first believed.

The Eyes of the Lord are roaming throughout the earth. I believe the seer anointing is being quickened and a greater acceleration therefore has come to the forefront. The Issachar Mantle is not merely a Seers Mantle, but also holds the status of Great Valour. This tribe was known as discerning fighters! They knew the times and season of physical seasons, historical and agricultural seasons, and on instruction from God they knew the spiritual season and climate.
They knew the things of this world, they had knowledge of worldly matters, and by this they also knew their enemy! They also had a facet of the Abrahamic Anointing of knowing the times and having understanding of the times…astronomy and calendars.
The meaning of the name Issachar has much to do with the Issachar Mantle in this Awakening Era. In Genesis 30:18 Leah said God rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband. So she named him Issachar. The meaning of this name is ‘man of reward’, my reward (is with Him). Jacob blessed him saying Issachar is a sturdy donkey, resting between two saddle packs.
I believe this Mantle carries the Eyes of the Lord, reaps Great Rewards and has the capacity and strength to carry the weighty Glory of God. This is a mighty manifestation of knowing the double fold ‘times’ of God. Kairos – an opportune time, moment and Chronos -a specific amount of time.

The greatest emphasis I believe the Holy Spirit has highlighted, is that they knew things of the world. In this they were tactical in battle, knowing who the enemy was. They were excellent in discernment because to ‘know your enemy’ they put themselves in the place (times) of the enemy so they knew how to predict actions!

God is raising up His Warrior Bride! His Eyes are All around her and upon Her, as a Mighty Mantle the greater equipping is taking place. She is Excellent in The Art of War. The sun, moon and stars are as for Her Signs. The expanse of the Issachar Anointing is spreading out and Mighty Mantles of Valour are falling, thus holding scrolls and blueprints of greater discernment of understanding the times. As we are heading into the Hebraic Year of 5784 – The Year of Open Doors/Portals….this is a pertinent time and greater expression of The Issachar Anointing!

1 Chronicles 12:32
Of the tribe of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, two hundred chiefs; and all their relatives were at their command;

2 Chronicles 16:9a
For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth so that He may support those whose heart is completely His.

This mighty tribe joined the army against Jabin, and the battle was won!

For few days now, I’ve been sensing a great stirring in the Spirit !

Light is increasing and so is darkness.

2026 and the preceding years are such sensitive times !

The days of God’s greatest move in church history are upon us.
Many authentic Prophetic voices are blowing the shofar.

There is great opposition released from hell but never allow that to distract you from seeing how God has begun moving through His church !!!

About 5 years ago, I heard the phrase “Great Depression” and I asked the Lord what it’s about. He directed me to research on it and I found that it was the post world war 1 era. I asked Him what that information was for but He only led me to Matthew 24:21-22 and asked me to pray !

Gross darkness is already at the door. But in moments of deep darkness is when Light shines the most !

God allows the darkness so we can shine brighter. The glory of the Bride in these dark times will be UNPRECEDENTED !!!

The move of God will not be without opposition but the Bride of Jesus must receive the Wisdom to navigate.

Prioritising His Presence is a major Wisdom needed for the times !!!

Anyone who leaves His Presence behind will become a casualty.

I will recommend you pay attention to these Prophetic Voices in these times…
