I’ve been hearing the Lord say that this new era will be one of abundance. Like in the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, there will be a “settling of accounts,” and for those who have been faithful with what they’ve been given and are being conformed to His image, they will receive increased power and authority and have abundance (Matt. 25:29).
Last night I had an intriguing dream. I was working for a very high level governmental official and had been going about my duties faithfully and diligently for a long time. There had been a number of things along the way that had not worked out the way I had hoped or planned, but in the process, I had become intimately familiar with everything concerning this official and, over time, had proven to him my commitment to integrity and excellence.
The scene changed and I was getting ready for a wedding—it was like I had a very significant role to play in this wedding and had put on a white wedding gown. (This speaks to being one of the saints who is preparing themselves as the bride of Christ—Rev. 19:7.) As I waited for a signal as to what to do next, a man (who I sensed was an angel) approached me from behind.
He told me he was a tailor and showed me how he wanted to take the dress in several inches across the back. I was surprised this could be done! It was like I was familiar with this dress—had worn it before—and it was in my size. Since I have a small frame and it’s not unusual to be unable to find the perfect fit, I thought this was just the way it was supposed to be.
Concerning the dress that was going to be taken in, this morning in a time of prayer I heard the Lord say, “Tailor made—just for you.”
Friends, the Lord showed me it’s like He’s been preparing you your whole life for this moment—it’s time to step into what He has prepared you to do!
“‘You have been faithful in handling this small amount,’ he told him, ‘so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Begin the joyous tasks I have assigned to you” (Matt. 25:21, TLB). {eoa}
