Recently, I was preparing to speak to a friend’s church. The morning I was going to minister, before I could even open my eyes, I heard the Lord say, “Over the top.” I got excited and as I got up, I began to pray. Then the Lord spoke to me again and said, “Over the top miracles. Over-the-top finances. Over the top recompense. Over-the-top breakthroughs. Over-the-top relationships. Over-the-top businesses. Over-the-top ministries.” As excitement grew in my spirit and I continued to pray over this word I knew this was a word that needed to be released to the body of Christ.
Over the next week after hearing this word, God gave me a prophetic vision. In the vision, I was walking up a hill. Then I could see myself riding a horse over the same hill. Then I saw myself drive a vehicle over the hill. Then finally I was in an army vehicle coming over the hill. I knew that the Lord was speaking to me through this vision about coming over the top of this hill. Once I reached the top of the hill and began to come over the other side, in whatever kind of transportation, I could see what was on the other side. The scenery that lay before me took my breath away every time I came over the top of the hill.
I believe this message to the body of Christ is clear, you are about to come over the top of everything that you’ve gone through. You will literally be able to see why you have gone through the season you just walked through. Every delay, every damaging thing, every destructive thing, every time you have been wounded, every attack of the enemy you have faced will make sense in light of what God is about to usher you into.
The past season, or for some, the past few seasons, could have taken you out but there was always something on the inside of you that said, “I’ve got to keep going because God has a mandate on my life.” It is those who have refused to back down or give up that are about to come over the top of the uphill journey they have faced and will break through into fulfillment and purpose.
In this next season, we are to thrust forward into those things that God has intended for us to do with determination and faith. This is a season to build. We are coming over the top into victory and now is the time to begin to build for the Kingdom of God like never before. We must build according to the prophetic mandate that the Lord has given each of us. This is an over-the-top season.
Ephesians 3:19 in the Amplified version says, “and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].” I’m telling you in this over-the-top season you are about to live out the reality of this powerful scripture. You will walk in the richest measure of God’s presence in your life and you will be filled and flooded with the very power and presence of God.
The chaos and intense warfare you have experienced in previous seasons were meant to keep you from stepping into this over-the-top season. It is critical that you continue to seek the Lord in the place of prayer so that you can think, act, dream, and move forward with His spirit. God is calling and mantling men and women of God, just like you and I, for this season. This will not necessarily be the easiest season but you are to build, advance and move forward in Jesus name!
