It Is Finished

I sat in my car in absolute hysterics. Deep cries rose from the depth of my soul as the pain and the warring and the fight that I had been enduring for months escaped from my mouth.

Those cries felt like a release. It was a cry where every ounce of pain, torment and fear broke free. It was a cry that broke the prison doors open. It felt like the same release that came from Jesus’ mouth as He hung on the cross and yelled, “It is finished.”

The words that He declared that signalled that the battle was over. That the pain had ended. That the time of freedom and release from darkness had come.

I had felt this feeling once before. It’s a feeling where you feel as though you can breathe again, where you realise that you were holding your breathe for so long. It’s a moment of radical freedom where you KNOW in your spirit that a season of suffering has come to an end.

As I wailed, I felt the Lord say, “This is the birthing.” I had been ‘pregnant’, carrying the things of the Lord for months and the time of birth had arrived.

These words settle in my spirit tonight - “it is finished”.

From the depths of my soul I know that it is finished.

My hysterical cries were not of sorrow, but of victory, of freedom, of joy and of gratitude. I KNEW that tomorrow marked a day of radical change and new birth.

I knew that in that moment the Lord had completed the work and had answered every prayer that I had been praying for. It was only a matter of time before I saw it.

I couldn’t help but say, “thank you, Jesus. I have no words. You have rescued me from the pit. You have carried me through the difficult season. You have fed me manna every single day. You have sustained me. You have kept me. You have loved me. Even when I have failed and fallen, every single time, you have lifted me up on a rock and given me refuge under your wings - my safe place. I am filled with such gratitude for how you have led me, Jesus. I am filled with such awe that you have been my strength and stronghold in the darkest days. Your goodness never fails.”

Friend, I believe the Holy Spirit led you to this post, because He wanted to tell you that it is over and that He has won the battle on your behalf.

I declare these words today as they rise up from the depths of my Spirit.

IT IS FINISHED.

The battle is WON.

The miracle is only days away.

And it is all because He is faithful and He is true and as soon as we stand down, and step out of the way He is faithful to fulfil His promise.
