Lull Before the Breakthrough by Lonnie Mackley

The Lull Before Breakthrough by Lonnie Mackley


While in prayer I saw a picture of someone on a ship that had been through a very long journey and many devastating storms where everything around them looked very weathered, broken, and spent. Then, as the view zoomed in on the person there you could see that they were in perfect peace and their view was fixed upon the horizon and the great light that was now visible and getting closer and closer to them. Their eyes, although weary and creased welled up with tears of great joy and relief as the land they had sought for so long finally came into view. Then the Lord began to speak to me.

Many of you are reaching the end of your long spiritual transition to maturity, and things are finally beginning to calm down and stabilize as the tormentors are backed off and we are able to catch our spiritual breath. But for some people we have entered a strange lull where it feels like everything is just kind of dead and empty, and even God feels very far away and undetectable. If this is you then be encouraged because you have entered the lull before breakthrough, and soon things are going to burst open as the Light of Jesus leads you all the way to the place of true oneness that you seek.
PS 131:2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me.
You see, God has brought us to a place of fuller emptiness and surrender where we are no longer thrashing or grumbling like we did when we were in the thick of it. Now our souls are settling down and trusting the Lord more just because He loves us, and we love Him. Now we are simply seeking Him and His presence, rather than seeking relief from trials, or for new things to happen that we’ve been pulling on Him for. And although this state may feel a bit miserable and bleak, it is actually a place of peace and acceptance where we can now just focus on seeking to abide in His love alone.
JER 24:7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.
Know too, everything we do up ahead must rest upon God’s word and His abiding presence as we abide in consistent holiness and simple moment by moment trust in Him. We have been returned to our first love, and our First Love is returning to us in a greater way than we have experienced before. All that has happened has been to prepare you so that the Lord could save, heal, and deliver many people through you. So get ready for the main event now, and take this time to reflect upon all that God has given you on this tough journey. Enjoy your short lull, and expect real breakthrough soon!
R 23:18 There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.

"Your Life Is About to Be Resurrected" 
by Lonnie Mackley Dec. 22nd, 2015
There are many people right now who are at a place of extreme weariness and inability where you feel like you cannot take even one more step forward, or you will collapse in a heap for good. You have endured so much heartbreak and pain over the years and especially recently that life has lost its meaning and you are torn between wanting to go home to be with Jesus, or staying here for the few people that love and need you here. The Lord wants you to know today that at the utter end of your ability, His ability will now arise and quicken you in such a way that you will feel completely new again. The devil may have been trying to tell you that it's over now, but just like Jesus rising from the dead, your life will be resurrected by God Himself, and even you will be amazed by what He does.
God wants you to know that healing is on the way now, and it won’t just be a little healing; it will be healing of everything physically and emotionally that you have had to endure for so long. So though you have had to carry a load of sorrow and burdens with you all of your life, Jesus is about to take that load off of you, and this will be so new and wonderful because you have always been limited by the pain of what’s happened. This is your year of liberation and Jubilee from the Lord, and instead of crying tears of grief, you will cry tears of joy as you dance around your house and go out the door to shout to the neighbors about the goodness of God in your life. Much that has been supposedly lost for good will now be miraculously restored by God’s hand Himself. He has heard every prayer.
Jesus knows the tremendous sorrow and suffering that you have endured for so long, but this has all been part of a plan that is meant to bring you to a new place of true holiness and oneness with the Father Himself that will last forever. Your heart may feel too crushed and broken right now to believe anymore, but I would encourage you to believe in the love and goodness of the same God that sought you out and saved you in the first place. Did you really think that He would just run off and abandon you after all you’ve been through together? God knew what He was getting when He saved you, and He has made all provision in order to help you to overcome and be empowered by His Spirit for this last harvest. So dear one, this is not your end; your life is about to be resurrected!
PS 71:20 Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. 21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
