Today at Sunday morning worship service at church, a young sister preached a powerful message entitled, “It is time to rise.”

It was based on the passage of scripture in John 5:1-9 about the paralyzed man who was by the pool at Bethsaida waiting for the water to be troubled so that He could get in and be healed.

For thirty-eight years this man waited in this paralytic condition until one day Jesus passed by and told him to arise, take up his bed and walk.

The minister stated that you may be going through some difficult period in your life and it seems as if every time you make one move forward someone or something is pulling you back, but today is your season to rise up into the purpose that God is calling you.

You are not forgotten because God is a God of the impossible and He will make a way out when there seems to be no way.

You have come too far to give up now. The race is not for the swift, but they that endure to the end.

Therefore, with endurance, you will rise. Today is your season to rise. (Minister Nicola Allen)

The message was rich and powerful and I felt as if God was speaking to me directly.

Indeed, at the end of the minister’s message, the Lord spoke to my heart and said quite clearly that I should note carefully that the paralyzed man received his miracle on the Sabbath.

Therefore, he received his season of rest after thirty-eight years.

The Lord further assured me that this year is my season of rest.

I should rest in prayer, rest from my labor and rest in my prophetic utterances.

The latter meant that in this season, whatever I prophesy over my life and children will come to pass.

Hallelujah! Glory to God!

Already I am experiencing the manifestation of this word over my life. Thank you, Lord!

I pray that this word will also be a blessing to you.

Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. (John 5:8-9)

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.
