Time To Stretch
"Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes." — Isaiah 54:2-3 KJV
Good Morning Agape Family — God is shifting us from maintenance to ENLARGEMENT. 31 years you have been faithful with what was in your hands. Now God says, make room for what is in MY hands. Your tent is too small for what I'm about to add. Stretch! Spare not! The same plot in Plainfield is about to carry more glory.
1. ENLARGE — rachab (to make wide, to breathe spacious) God says ENLARGE before He says FILL. Faith makes room before it sees the harvest. 31 years was preparation for expansion. You thought anniversary was about looking back, God says it is about stretching out.
2. STRETCH FORTH — natah (to extend, to outstretch your expectation) Stretch your curtains. Stretch your faith. Stretch your arms to people you thought would never come to Agape. What you don't stretch cannot hold the new.
3. SPARE NOT — chasak (to hold nothing back) God says spare not your praise, spare not your giving, spare not your love. Anniversary anointing does not come on tight fists, it comes on open hands. Hold nothing back this week.
4. STRENGTHEN THY STAKES — chazaq (to fasten, to make firm) As you lengthen, you must strengthen. More people means deeper roots. God is strengthening leadership, strengthening marriages, strengthening the foundation so the bigger tent doesn't blow away.
Prophetic Word For You Today
The Lord says to Agape: I am calling you WIDER, not just bigger. Wider arms for the broken in Plainfield, wider doors for prodigals, wider altar for more testimonies. You thought you were at capacity — I say you are at birthing place. The tent pegs you drove in for 31 years are now being pulled up for larger ground. Don't fear the stretch, the same God who helped you hold a small tent will help you manage a large harvest. I AM ENLARGING YOUR COASTS.
Today’s Declaration
Say this out loud three times: We ENLARGE today! We stretch, we spare not, we strengthen! Agape, your tent is getting bigger — make room for more!
I love you, I'm praying for you.
