Saturday: That Place of In Between | Word from April 19, 2025 | Released April 19, 2025 for Easter Weekend
Happy Resurrection Weekend!
As we’ve seen so many victories in recent months, and as we prepare to celebrate tomorrow the most important victory of all time, many of us have found ourselves wading through a seemingly endless muck and fighting off continual attacks. I pray that you will find the following message, which the Lord spoke to me in the middle of the night, encouraging.
Blessings to you through our Victorious and Risen King Jesus!!
SATURDAY: THAT PLACE OF IN BETWEEN
Word from Saturday April 19, 2025 – 3:20 am
I was restless tonight, and as I lay in bed contemplating many things—and the very difficult season many of us find ourselves in, with enemy attack all around—the Lord began to remind me of our anticipated celebration of Resurrection Sunday.
The Resurrection of Jesus and His victory over death, hell, and the grave is one of the most important foundations of our hope and joy!! We, as believers know this, proclaim it, and have built our lives completely around it. We also know and see that the Father is working all throughout the earth on cleaning things up at a rapid-fire pace, if we will just open our eyes to see it. But for many of us, despite what we know and have believed in our hearts, it feels like the enemy is doing his best to sap our joy and strength, on a personal level, and remove our will to fight.
“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit!”
As my heart cried out to Him once more in the night watches, He began to remind me of other resurrection phrases He’s spoken to me in the past:
And as I heard them ringing out in my heart, He began to pan out the lens to show me the bigger picture of where we land on the calendar:
Saturday.
Saturday. That place of in between. After the death… but before the resurrection.
That place of knowing everything you’ve heard, believed, and placed your entire hope upon… but questioning, perhaps, as you are seeing just the opposite in your own sphere.
That place of weariness to the bone in body, mind, and spirit – where all you want to do is give up and collapse… but still knowing that you must continue to stand and fight… because victory is most surely ahead for those who do not lose heart.
That place of feeling rejected, abandoned, and even mocked in your calling and post… but knowing that you absolutely cannot and must not do anything else.
That place of wondering why the Father seems to remain silent while remaining deaf to your pleas… but knowing that He is your only hope, He will speak again, and you will see His goodness again in the land of the living!
That place of alone.
That place of confusion and questioning.
That place of exhaustion.
Saturday is a HARD place. But we know that Sunday is coming!! Hallelujah!
So, as we reach forward in this period between the great shaking, sorrow, and darkness at the death of our Lord… and the great shaking, joy, and light of His resurrection, let’s listen to what He is saying to us today in the waiting:
“I am resurrecting My power throughout this earth. You have asked Me to summon My mighty power as I have in the past, and THAT, I will do!
I am resurrecting righteousness in the land and in your leaders.
I am resurrecting truth in your institutions of higher learning and in your schools (and they will begin to see just how ridiculous and off-course they have been).
I am resurrecting holiness in your churches once again. I WILL have a pure and spotless Bride, and it’s time for a shaking in My Church. Don’t say you haven’t been warned. I’ve given you ample time to prepare your hearts.
I am resurrecting the joy inside your hearts – the joy of My salvation!
I am resurrecting purity of purpose in your young people. This generation WILL NOT be lost.
I am resurrecting accuracy, integrity, and honor in your media's reporting.
But before a resurrection can take place, there must be a crucifixion and death… and that leads to darkness… mourning… and a longing for My appearing.
That which is sin can no longer stand before My face and must be spread out, exposed for all to see, put to death, and buried in the ground.
So, you may feel in this hour as if I’ve turned My face away. But know that your Victor is taking back the keys to every pillar of society. Church, don’t set these keys down again!! YOU are the salt and light. Don’t misplace those keys or treat them carelessly. I have given you the keys of the Kingdom to reach into kingdoms with My Light, to speak life, to break strongholds, and to conquer enemy ground. I expect you to rise up and walk in the authority given to you to effect change in every aspect of your culture.
So, surrender what is impure in your own hearts to the death process. Continue to fight and pray against the evil that is in your land. Hold fast to your calling and wait for My appearing, as you seek My face through the shaking and the darkness. And then, walk in the resurrection power that only I can give!
Behold, I will do a new thing! Now it shall spring forth. Shall you not know it?”
II Corinthians 4, NKJV
The Light of Christ’s Gospel
1“Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Cast Down but Unconquered
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So then death is working in us, but life in you.
13And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Seeing the Invisible
16Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
