I hear the Lord say… “2025: Coming alive. Embrace your year of Jubilee: a time to restore, strengthen and accelerate.”
“For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field. ‘In this Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession.” ~Leviticus 25:12-13 NKJV
“So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust, The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.” ~Joel 2:25-26 NKJV
Restore: "to return something or someone to an earlier good condition or position"
Strengthen: "to make something stronger or more effective, or to become stronger or more effective"
Accelerate: "to happen or make something happen sooner or faster"

Like Lazarus was called forth, you too are coming alive (John 11). Where you have been ransacked, and where many left you for dead, and assumed you would never get back up — the dead areas of your life are not only being restored, but strengthened, so you can accelerate forward.
You have truly fought in the previous season, yet like the dry bones that Ezekiel was commanded to prophesy to, you rose up every time you were knocked down. But also like the dry bones, the Lord is now restoring your sinews and breath. Like Ezekiel had to not only prophesy to the bones, but also the breath, I also prophesy to the breath, I call on Ruach Elohim to breathe on every area of your life. I call on The Spirit of God, the one true God, to raise up every area that has been dry, seemingly lifeless, or without hope.
As it says in Ezekiel 37:3-6 NKJV, “And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.” Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
I hear the Lord say, yes, I am strengthening the weary places, and building you up to accelerate you forward. Yet, even as the words come forth, there are still many who are saying (just like the dry bones), "our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cutoff!" (Ezekiel 37:11). Yet, the Lord is gracious and mindful of you. The Lord is yet still reminding you that with Him, “one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day” (2 Peter 3:8 NKJV). While they scream chaos all around, I will bring a light in Goshen and peace across the land (Exodus 10:23b). The land will rest and restore from its ransack.
As He says in Ezekiel 37:14 NKJV, “I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ”
I hear the Lord say, you will reap the harvest you have sown. As His word says, “those who sow in tears shall reap in joy” (Psalm 126:5 NKJV). As His Word says, “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV). As His Word says, “but seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33 NKJV).
So yes, enjoy the fruits of your labor. Enjoy the harvest that I am giving you. But also, like my wise servant Joseph commanded Pharaoh, save and prepare (Genesis 41). Yes, prosperity is coming here. Yet, reap while you can. Enjoy the bounty and receive wholeheartedly, yet also prepare. Be wise in how you save and share your wealth, resources, time and energy in this season, that your land can truly rest.
I hear the Lord say… in this season, you must protect your mind, body, spirit and soul. Respond to the prompts and nudges that My Holy Spirit sends. If you need to tend to your health, do so. Be obedient and be wise. If you need to take a break from things that bombard your mind or steal your peace, do so. Protect your mind. If you need to, keep your circle small, so only the “need to know” can tend to you like the angels tended to Jesus after being in the desert 40 days, do so (Matthew 4:11). You must keep your oil lamps filled in this season (Matthew 25:4).
I hear the Lord say… My child, You were not forgotten, nor forsaken, but it’s clear you faced much battering and bruising. The wind and rain surely did beat on your house, but you stood strong on the Rock (Matthew 7:25).
Watch in the coming days, weeks, and months how the Lord puts back together things lost, even in the past 7 years. Like the Levitical Year of Jubilee, you will be eating the old harvest while you receive the new (Leviticus 25:20-22).
Again, I hear Him say… Be wise as I restore, strengthen, and accelerate you. Be wise with your body, mind, spirit, and soul. Be wise with your resources. And, if you lack wisdom, ask Me, as it says in James 1:5. Use discernment. Be vigilant, yet rest in My restoration. You have done well, it’s time to receive.
May He bring peace and joy to you, even when it appears all is falling around you. Remember the promises of Psalm 91, “a thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you” (Psalm 91:7).
In 2025, you will come alive. May you embrace the Jubilee He has in store for you. May restoration, strength, and acceleration be your portion. Happy New Year and be blessed. In Jesus’ Name!
