“Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.” —Psalm 42:7
As I was praying before the gathering, I kept hearing the words, “Deep calls unto deep.”
Then I heard it again, “Deeper still.”
I sensed the Lord was stirring a fresh hunger in His people. A call to the ones who’ve longed for more. A beckoning to come deeper into the waters of encounter and intimacy where few are willing to go.
Then I was taken into a vision. I saw a great wave forming, and behind it, hundreds of people were positioned, waiting for the right moment to move.
In my spirit I felt it, “The wave is coming.”
the wave of awakening IS FORMING
There is a mighty outpouring prepared to crash upon the shores of the earth. A prophesied move of God’s Spirit that will awaken the nations. This is the wave that is swelling in the distance.
Then, I heard the voice of the Lord thunder, “Where are My wave-riders?”
“Where are the ones who will leave the shore and come out into the deep?
Where are the ones who will forsake comfort, tradition, and control to follow My glory?
Where are the ones who will chase My presence above popularity, platform, or predictable programs?”
For there are many who have chosen to stay grounded, content on the shoreline, tethered to control and comfort.
But I am calling the brave.
I am calling the pioneers.
I am calling the forerunners who were born for this moment, to ride the wave of My presence into the unknown.
And yes, it may feel unsettling. You may even doubt yourself: “Can I do this? Do I have the strength? Will I get it right?”
But hear Me, says the Lord, You are My wave-rider.
You were born for this.
Everything you’ve walked through has led you to this moment.
You were not created to sit in the shallows, you were made for the depths.
You will ride the wave of My presence, and in doing so, you will model something sacred to a generation who has forgotten what My presence feels like.
As you ride, others will see. They will remember. And they too will venture out into the deep.
For the days of intellectual Christianity are over.
The days of knowing about Me are giving way to those who will truly know Me.
And you can only know Me in the deep.
You can only know Me in the wild places where control must be surrendered.
But there, I will meet you.
And there, you will find that though it feels uncomfortable, you are not alone. You have the Comforter.
I am leading you into deeper waters.
Back to first love.
Back to the place of holy encounter.
I am leading you out of worldly lovers and calling you back to Myself.
For I am calling forth My wave-riders in this hour. But if you are not yielded, you will miss the moment.
If you are not dead to the old thing, you will hesitate when the wave rises.
Where are those who are fully surrendered?
I am searching the earth for a people who will lay down their lives again, Not out of duty, but desire.
A people who long for the marriage of eternity.
Who will be betrothed to Me again?
Who will divorce the world and its empty promises?
Who will lose their lives to find them in Me?
Who will rise from under the yokes of religion and culture and be Mine again?
Who will consecrate themselves afresh?
For the orphans shall become sons and daughters.
And the sons and daughters shall become mothers and fathers, Releasing the cry of adoption over the land.
Tonight, I am marking My wave-riders. Branding them with fire. Setting them apart in the deep.
Step into the new rhythm. Step into My rest.
There is a fresh flow. Leave the stagnant waters behind. The old flow will not sustain you for where I’m taking you.
Then the Lord spoke again; “The Church has lost her rings.”
She has forgotten her covenant with Me. But I am restoring the marriage. California is being married again. America is being remarried. The nations are being called back into covenant.
This is a marriage moment. A moment of divine consecration. But it runs deeper than before.
For I am looking for My lovers.
“And I will betroth you to Me forever. I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and justice, In steadfast love and mercy. I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, And you shall know the Lord.” —Hosea 2:19
“Let us rejoice and exult and give Him the glory, For the marriage of the Lamb has come, And His Bride has made herself ready.” —Revelation 19:7
The wedding song has gone out. The flute is playing once again.
The days of the dirge are over. The funeral song has ended.
A new day has dawned
I am inviting you to the marriage feast.
Who will respond? Who will come? Who will leave their other lovers behind?
Then I heard it loud and clear - “OVERFLOW.”
As you lean into what feels uncomfortable, As you step into the unknown, You will find My wave crashing into every dry and broken place in your life.
You will feel the surge of My Spirit again.
And the Lord says: As you lean into My presence, I will do what you cannot do.
I will restore what you cannot fix.
I will bring you out of depletion and back into overflow.
You were born for this wave. Now ride it.
