This is a time of divine closure. In fact this year has been a “wrapping up” year to the last 7. A year where the the emphasis has been on emptying over adding more, and finalising over beginning. That’s why the wrestle this year has not just been about changing your activity, but the end to so much of what we’ve been doing that is no longer going to reap the same effects or same outcomes in 2025. God has been trying to lead us not only into rest but a reset. In fact, He’s been trying to kill off that which has been killing you. That’s right. There has been so much of your activity that has been killing you. There is so much that you’ve attributed to the Kingdom that the grace has worn off of and the anointing on it has worn off from. God’s been gently leading you out from that particular assignment and activity that no longer carries the same glory and effectiveness that it once did. He’s been trying to lift your eyes and lift your head to something that’s greater. And sometimes the only way that He can do that with the people that are visionaries, that are driven, is that He needs to kill the oxen that you’re riding down into burnout on. And that’s what He’s been doing this year. There’s been a definite lifting of grace upon many areas of your life, Pioneer. You can look over this year, see the wrestle, and recognize that you have been worn out, burnt out, and tired, and not knowing how you’re meant to step into any level of change. It’s like many have recognised the shift and said “God, I’ve already tied myself to this oxen. I’ve already said, this is who I am and this is what I do!” And the Lord says “let it die” “Do you trust Me? Let the oxen die” It’s not that the dream’s going to die necessarily, It’s just that God needs to rearrange the way that you’re thinking that is no longer healthy and taking your calling off course. Yes, battle-thinking, survival-thinking, and wounded-thinking - it’s been leading you into a diversion of your calling and that’s what the closure must come to. You had even begun to form a callous of thought around what your idea of Kingdom is. And it’s made you rigid and has actually caused you, in some measure, to resist the flow and the move of the Spirit of God that is right now erupting on the shores of the Earth. Yes, pioneers, you’re the groundbreakers. You’re the forerunners. You’re the ones that are meant to go before the body of Christ and live in tomorrow. But if you’re not careful, your own mindsets can prevent you from being that in the next season. Yet, that is why God is bringing closure to so much of your activity and your processes so that it brings you into a new place of surrender, so that you are able to see where God is leading and where He’s no longer leading you. The other area that God is bringing closure to right now is in relationships that are unequally yoked. That is why the Lord has been bringing things to a finish in many of the assignments, callings, and movements around you. He’s wanted you to finish well. He’s wanted you to hold up the flag to the very end, but He’s wanted you to leave those rooms. It’s His desire for you to unyoke and unchain from so many of the relationships that have kept you in bondage. In the same way that your mindsets can hold you back, your alignments can also hold you back from stepping into the fullness of all that God has called you to be. Those alignments have changed your voice. Those alignments have changed your focus. Those alignments have tainted the ointment to some degree and God has been beckoning you to break free from these toxic, unequally yoked relationships that have entangled you and held you back. He has been saying “Time is up! No longer will you be tangled up in relationships that suffocate your spirit, hold back your growth, or water down the fire I’ve placed inside you” “The contracts of man must be torn up! The covenants I didn’t authorize must be cancelled. The vows you made that has tethered you must be broken!” However, this is is your time to finish well—even in dishonorable alignments. It’s your obedience in the closing that unlocks the future. And yes, there will be moments when closure feels like loss. When you feel exposed, vulnerable, and uncertain. But remember, this is not the end - this is the beginning of your re-mantling and freedom. Coming out from under the covers of an old bed you were laying in. It’s time to get out!! Yes, God is stripping off the old, toxic jackets that have weighed you down and preparing to clothe you in fresh authority, purpose, and identity. But key me say this to those who are feeling beaten down, and steamrolled right now in this process; You might feel like those who hurt or betrayed you have won. That those who manipulated you got away with it. But God says, “Let Me vindicate you.” The injustice you feel isn’t for you to fight. Release it. The Lord is your defense, and in His time, He will right every wrong. This is a time of simply walking away and letting Him take care of that part of the closure and He will heal your heart as you do. It’s time to sever the cords because not everyone can come with you nor is willing to pay the price to. It’s time to detox from the toxicity and let your soul breathe again. I’ll say it again, It’s time to cut the cords. You’ve been carrying the weight of other people’s issues, pain, and brokenness that God never asked you to carry. Cut the cords. Honor them. Move on. And this is a deliverance moment where God is saying, “I want you to slam that door shut” And for a moment, or for a season, they will think you’ve lost your mind. They will think there’s something wrong with you. They will say, wow, I thought he was for revival, but he’s not. But you know that you need to be obedient to the Lord and close the door and move forward. And what happens is, for a period of time, you look at your hands and they look empty. You look at the slain oxen and you think you failed. But the Lord wants to say this to you, Pioneer. Just around the corner is a new day. Just around the corner is something fresh and new that I have for you that is no longer going to burn you out, but it’s going to give you joy. And even right now, I’m shifting the tides of bitterness and hope deferred that are in your soul that you have not been addressing. And I’m shifting it to waters of refreshing and healing. Even right now, I’m causing the layers of grief and pain that have been sitting under the surface to come up and come forth so I can clear it away and begin to allow those rivers inside you to come forth again. Pioneer, this is a moment you need to not think with your mind, but with your spirit. This is a moment to lay down on your face and allow God to fill that tank. Allow Him to kill off what needs to be killed off. And allow Him to detox you and bring you into a new hour and a new day. It’s more important than where and when. It’s more important than your next assignment and message. It’s the kind of closure where you die but you also begin to live again.
