On the 17th Day of Christmas

I hear this song being sung over all of creation:

Hark! the herald angels sing,

"Glory to the new-born King!

Peace on earth, and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled."

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,

Join the triumph of the skies;

With th' angelic host proclaim,

"Christ is born in Bethlehem."

Hark! the herald angels sing,

"Glory to the new-born King!

On the seventeenth day of Christmas, the Father said to me,

“I am calling forth the Heralds says the Father! It is time to declare the hour and the day of your visitation. Have you wondered, have you said, ‘I think’ today you will know! It is the hour of your visitation and the hourglass is emptying to reveal that the countdown is almost up. The opposing chimes of the doomsday gloomers are trying to change your mind and your direction. Refuse to go the way of the wayward son- come to me. Jump into My arms and receive your glory gift! Can you smell the oils, the delicious bread baking to set upon the table, - this is only a foretaste of what is to come my sweet Beloved. Look at the work you have done! Look and see- here they come! The street dwellers, the maligned, the forgotten sons, and daughters- they recognize Me and are entering the doors to partake of My miracles. Look how your life has demonstrated what faith can do… and your willingness to press in has rolled out a red carpet for those whom I have travailed-kingdom members who didn’t know they were even invited. Set an extra space at the table! They are coming to you, Beloved -- because now they know! They know to Whom they belong and those forgotten overlooked ones are coming to you to learn about a kingdom that cannot be shaken!

"I am calling for those who have wondered about Me, who have asked, ‘How can a Father in Heaven be real?’ There are those who enter the synagogues of this day, and they leave with a mere carbon-copied answer. I ask you, Beloved, will you be the one to extend your hand as a Son so others will comprehend My love? Like Father, like Son, you will teach them who is the greatest in the kingdom. You will hand them a mirror so they will comprehend exactly who I died for because now I’m ready to live! I am the way and the truth and the LIFE! The more life that flows, the more life abounds! Enter every location, every relationship, every opportunity as a Herald of Peace. I am the Prince of Peace and it is my pleasure to go with you and enter the city streets, the pubs, the most unlikely homes and ring the bell that declares Peace on Earth!

"Peace is ringing and drawing everyone who has been seduced by fears, by agendas, by confusion- refuse to have anything except peace in your presence. Peace is entering the homes, the pubs, the city gates where proudly it was once thrown down. People tire of searching the streets for a sign and wonder. Here I am," says the Father. "I am the Prince of Peace, Beloved. As you were born for a time such as this, I was born for a time such as this! It’s time to invade the nations with peace! This is the moment when we go together, as one, and greet everyone we meet with Peace. Let Peace saturate your every fear, your every lack, and then rejoice because we are reconciled! We are joined together in a great cloud of Glory! Within you heaven and earth has joined together! Glory to the new-born King in you...in them...in all the earth you bring forth My glory! So rise up, oh nations! Rise up on the mountain and declare the King has come! Hear the angels sing- join with the chorus oh Heralds of the Ancient Door! The King of Glory comes into the earth and I am entering this world, this time, through you! declares the King of Glory!

There is a divine mystery—a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every holy believer to experience. Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!

Colossians 1:26-27 TPT
