Do you have DOUBLE VISION?
Jesus said in Luke 11:34 that the eye is the lamp to the soul. Further, He said that if your eye is clear (or sound), that your body is full of light; conversely, if it’s not, you’re not.
What exactly does that mean?
Strong’s 3788 says that the EYE is, figuratively speaking, your VISION. It is your “mind’s eye”…. what you see in your mind, your imagination, your focus. In short, your vision.
What is your EYE showing you? Is your eye clear? Do you have a clear vision? What is your VISION? Where is it leading you?
Strong’s 573 for CLEAR or SOUND in Greek is haploús (haploós) – properly, unfolded, single – literally, “without folds”, referring to a single (undivided) focus, i.e. without a (secret) “double agenda” which prevents an over-complicated life (becoming needlessly distracted).
Is your life overly complicated? Are you constantly running and working, and feel as though you are accomplishing nothing? Or, do you feel as though you are constantly hopping the proverbial “Christian fence”: constantly flip-flopping between the ways of the world and the ways of God?
If so, check your EYE, because you may have double vision.
Narrow it down to Jesus. Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven, and all these other things will be added unto you (see Matthew 6:33). Have BIG FAITH for what the Lord wants to do for you in this season. Trust Him in ALL THINGS! Understand He wants better for you than you want for yourself! Believe in Him and believe Him. Follow Him. Do everything you can to clear out anything that doesn’t line up with His will and His ways.
You will be rewarded with haplous … single, undivided focus and a clear vision to achieve the goals that God has for you in this new season.
Luke 11:34-36 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye (your conscience) is sound and fulfilling its office, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound and is not fulfilling its office, your body is full of darkness.
35 Be careful, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness.
36 If then your entire body is illuminated, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright [with light], as when a lamp with its bright rays gives you light.
Matthew 6:33 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
I prophesy: Your End is Sweeter than Your Beginning!
The Lord is speaking! I prophesy over you today, and please take it to heart: Your end is sweeter than your beginning. You have survived the storms of life to get to where you are now, and your next season is so much better than anything you have ever imagined!
The Lord sent me to Job 42 this morning, and immediately started talking. The very first paragraph states that God can do all things, and that NO PLAN of His can be thwarted. Do you hear that? NO PLAN! God has not changed His mind about you! The prophecy will still come to pass.
“I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained or thwarted.” (Job 42:2 AMPC)
There are multiple examples of this throughout the Bible, but God has a purpose by speaking to us through Job in this hour:
- He is loosing you from the fetters and snares that have held you back and held you bound, and He is giving you double for your trouble. “The Lord turned the captivity and restored his fortunes when he prayed for his friends; also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before (v. 10).”
- The prodigals in your family are returning! Not just to you, but to Jesus! These former runaways, backsliders and rebels will fellowship with you and do great exploits for the Kingdom of God. Then all his family who had left him came back and broke bread with him (v. 11);
- God is restoring all your financial losses! You will receive income into your bosom, multiplied, shaken together and pressed down. Showers of blessings will fall upon you. “Every man gave him a piece of money and an earring of gold (v. 11).”
- The Lord is blessing YOUR latter days more than anything that you have seen to date! Pay attention to all these zeros! Get used to seeing them at the end of numbers connected to you! You will be 1000 times more than you are today (see Deuteronomy 1:11)! “And the Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning, for he had 14000 sheep, 6000 camels, 1000 yoke of oxen and 1000 female donkeys (v. 12).”
- The storms are over and you have passed the tests! God gave Job 10 more children – seven sons and three daughters (see v. 13). The number 10 by itself confirms completion. The number seven symbolizes perfection: IT IS FINISHED! Totally over! The subtraction and division is over…God is multiplying you now.
Now here is the awesome part: the boys were not named, but the girls were. Not only that, Job gave the girls an inheritance with their brothers. Understand that women were treated as second class citizens then. Considering the way that women were treated, this is amazing! God is obviously speaking …and what He is saying is contained in their names.
Job’s daughters’ names were Jemimah, Keziah and Keren-happuch, “…and in all the land there were no women so fair as the daughters of Job and their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.” (Job 42:15).
Remember that God hides meanings in names. I researched the names of these three girls and what I found was that Job told his life story – and subsequently yours – through them. Don’t forget that Hebrew is read from right to left, so this story would be read from end to beginning, or from the youngest girl’s name to the oldest’s.
His eldest daughter’s name is understood to mean dove; this word is YONA. It has the same root as JONAH. Interestingly, Jemimah, when written in Hebrew, looks like the word for SEA. We all know what happened to Jonah and the sea. He survived the storms by the grace of God and went on to finish the purpose that God had assigned to his life – and so will you.
But wait, there’s more! Keziah, his second daughter’s name, means cassia – a sweet smelling powder scraped off the bark of a tree. It also means to cut off, or THE END.
Keren-happuch, his baby girl’s name, means horn of antimony. Antimony was a black powder used for eye makeup. It also means beautifier, which is why women used it: to be made beautiful.
Putting it all together, God is speaking, and I prophesy: Your end will be more beautiful and sweeter than your beginning! Job told the story of his life in the names of his three daughters. He survived the turmoil and storms and that his end would be more beautiful and a sweeter smelling fragrance than his beginning. God has spoken this over you, too. This IS the story of your life!
Not only that, God gave Job many, many years to enjoy his “new life” (see Job 42:16)! I prophesy the same over you: that you will have many, many years of joy and prosperity in your new, sweeter end.
Happy New You! Here’s to a new vision made more beautiful and fragrant, more sweeter smelling than ever before.

The Hook: There is Money in Your Mouth!
We are now in Hebrew year 5780, the year of “peh”- the mouth. I believe that God is speaking to many in a different way; furthermore, I believe He is requiring that we speak to Him in a new way, too!
As an example, in the last few months, my husband and I have had a MAJOR shift in our lives. I haven’t really had time to spend on my face for hours like I used to. As a result, I hadn’t really heard anything earth-shattering in my shorter times with Him. Desiring what I used to have, I did what I used to do. I got on my face just like I used to. I received little tidbits from the Spirit, but no fireworks…no huge revelations or shockwaves. I actually started to be concerned that my gift was gone, even though I know the Lord gives gifts without repentance (see Romans 11:29).
So, it really surprised me when the Lord stopped me as I was washing dishes, and for the second time that day communicated to me in a totally different way! I was simply THINKING about someone and how successful they are. I was not praying, meditating, complaining or comparing. I was just THINKING about this person.
That is when the Lord jumped right into my thought processes. Clearly, I heard Him say, “Yes, (this person) IS successful. They are successful for who they USED to be. They keep on doing what they’ve always done, in the old format, doing what has always worked in the past. They aren’t who I want them to be NOW.”
That is exactly what I was trying to do, too! I was trying to do the same thing, the same way, looking for the same results. But we are in a new season, in a new place and a new position of authority! Those old ways don’t work any longer.
He went on, “Don’t come to me in the old way. Come to me in the new way – even if you don’t know what that is. Come to me in honesty, and transparency. Come to me and talk to me as the success that you are NOW – not the success that you USED to be!”
WOW! That really hit home! See, earlier in the day I was doing something that required a measuring device – a ruler. I wasn’t doing anything holy, in fact, I just needed to measure something. THINKING, I said to myself, “I need a ruler.” The Lord jumped right into my thoughts, saying, “You ARE a ruler!” He wants us to step into this: We are not who we think we are – we are who He says we are!
So, what does a ruler do? He DECREES! He speaks and his words make things happen.
“You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you;
And the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.” (Job 22:28 AMP)
The Lord impressed on me that He is requiring that we, the body, come to Him from a different position – AS MATURE, KINGDOM RULERS – rulers with authority in the Knowledge of Him, and that we decree from this angle, from a new perspective. We need to decree as the kings that He has made us!
To further confirm this word from the Lord, He put me in Matthew 17. At the end of the chapter, in Matthew 17:27, Jesus spoke to Peter about the temple tax. He had just told him that the sons are exempt, and then said,
“However, in order not to give offense and cause them to stumble [that is, to cause them to judge unfavorably and unjustly] go down to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and WHEN YOU OPEN ITS MOUTH you will find there a shekel. Take it and give it to them to pay the temple tax for Me and for yourself (emphasis mine).”
As I studied this passage of scripture, I was drawn to THE HOOK. I don’t know why, but it was highlighted to me. I knew there was SOMETHING about the hook. Digging for a deeper meaning, I researched HOOK in every conceivable way, including the etymology. The roots of hook are, ‘corner, angle, projecting piece of land or a bent piece of material to hold things on’.
BUT GOD. The hook is a different angle, and a different perspective! Head knowledge is one thing, but heart knowledge is another! We KNOW (in our heads) that we are kings and priests and that the words of our mouths move mountains. In this season, the Lord is proving beyond a shadow of a doubt, to both us and the world, that our decrees have life and miracle working power!
He also showed me how, in this season, He is supernaturally using natural things for His children to supernaturally draw natural things out of the natural into their natural – supernaturally! I know, that’s a lot of supers and naturals, but that is what He showed me!
Look at THE HOOK again: Our supernatural God will take things that we already have in the natural (the hook), use them in natural ways (throw it in the lake) to supernaturally draw those natural things (the fish) that we need (the shekel) that are already in the natural (in the fish’s mouth) to us supernaturally (by our words). How do I know? Because Jesus said the shekel was in the fish’s mouth!
What is the Christian symbol? A FISH! This is the year of the mouth! There is LITERALLY MONEY IN YOUR MOUTH! Open your mouth, because God’s word in your mouth will fulfill your desires and meet your needs!
The hook’s meaning musically is the “catchy part” that is repeated over and over. What does the Word tell us over and over? God is faithful, He supplies our every need, and our words are a creative force! Use your words creatively! Speak scripture to create what you want to see! God will fulfill your every need out of HIS RICHES IN GLORY in Christ Jesus – His word (see Philippians 4:19)!
DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO! This is what Jesus’ mother said to the servants at the wedding in Cana (see John 2:5), and He is telling us the same today – Just Do It! It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, it is going to happen! If Jesus had stopped to tell the servants what was going to happen in advance, do you think they would have believed Him anyway? NO! They just did it, because their job was to do what they were told to do. God used them as part of a miracle!
Would you like God to use you as part of the miracles that He is doing in the earth realm in this hour? If so, just do it: Open your mouth, speak creatively and reap the harvest of the fruit of your peh! Speak Life!
“A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;
He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.”
Proverbs 18:20-21 Amplified Bible (AMP)

God is Clearing YOUR Promised Land!
Are you STILL WAITING for what you know God has promised you? Are you STILL WAITING for your prophetic promises to come to life? Are you STILL WAITING for your promised land? Hang on just a little longer, because I have great news for you!
Have you started to see some breakthrough, but still need to see more? The truth is this: so far in this new season many have been relying on the scripture, “The steps of the righteous are ordered of the Lord,” (Psalm 37:23). We have had a little breakthrough in some areas, but for the most part, we have been operating in the dark, truthfully walking by faith with no clarity. Sound familiar?
Our lives are a prophetic picture! Know this, family: not only is breakthrough already on the scene and ready to burst forth! Your prophetically promised land will be exploding into view in this hour!
“For there is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed; nor anything secret that shall not be known and come out into the open.” (Luke 8:17 AMPC)
Couldn’t see the forest for the trees! Many years ago, in a vision, the Lord showed me a peach-colored blob. It was so close to my face that I really couldn’t see anything, just the color of it. He then asked me what I saw. “I don’t know, Lord,” I answered. “A peach colored blob.” In the vision, He moved this blob of color further and further away from my face, until I could finally see what it was: a peach-colored rose! He then said that when we are too close to something that we cannot see it clearly for what it truly is. It takes God to bring it fully into view.
“Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch or shoot of an almond tree [the emblem of alertness and activity, blossoming in late winter]. Then said the Lord to me, You have seen well, for I am alert and active, watching over My word to perform it.” (Jeremiah 1:11-12 AMPC).
In the same way, a few months ago we purchased land, but we really couldn’t see it. We had an idea of its size because we had been told what it was. We had seen its boundaries on paper. We walked around it several times before we bought it and multiple times afterward, praying over it and blessing it. However, we had no real knowledge of what it was that we had bought. We had never been able to venture beyond the outer borders of it. We had no clarity because we had never actually SEEN it.
The reason? Just like that peach blob of color was actually a peach-colored rose, we couldn’t see anything – just trees and scrub brush; a thick blob of forest! We literally could not see the forest for the trees! But we knew it was buried in there somewhere, mere steps away from where we walked. We knew that our “promised land” – the land promised to us when we bought it, the land we had seen on paper, the land that we had walked around – was just out of sight.
God is clearing your promised land! Recently we had a portion of our land cleared by a process called “under-brushing”. Before this it was a tangled mess of trees, vines and scrub brush. Suddenly, everything changed! It was awesome to watch as the forestry machine that did the clearing devoured, chewed up and spit out everything in its path in a huge cloud of dirt, dust and wood chips. Incredibly, what had appeared to be a solid wall of brush, vines and trees fell before this machine, becoming mere stubble on the ground. The land was revealed, and as the dust cleared, suddenly our promised land came into view. We could finally SEE what we had bought. We could finally SEE OUR LAND!
Family, you simply MUST KNOW that God is clearing your “promised land”! He is a consuming fire (see Hebrews 12:29)! He is your vindicator (see Genesis 30:6) and your justifier (see Romans 3:26)! Listen, just like that machine, He is chewing up and spitting out everything that stands between YOU and your promised land!
When the smoke clears and the dust settles, you will see the land that has been promised to you, the land that you have “bought” – your promised land! This land – your ministry, your marriage, your career, your health, that which you have seen in visions, in dreams and in prophetic promises – THIS land is what is coming into your field of vision. It is only another few faith-filled steps away!
GOD IS CLEARING YOUR PROMISED LAND! Hold onto His promises! Hold onto your faith! Hold onto your prophetic promises! Believe God!
“And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right standing with God).” (Genesis 15:6 AMPC)
If you have been operating in the dark, fear not, because the light switch is turning on! As the dust settles, your view is being unobscured. The walls of brush and vines before you will be falling at your feet as wood chips for you to walk on, keeping the weeds at bay by divine design! Your land will soon be in full view, clear of any smoke, mirrors or dust and ready for you to take possession.
Blessings and Abundance in this new season of possession as you take your land!
