Jeremiah 29:10-14 (NLT) “This is what the LORD says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I have promised, and I will bring you home again. 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the LORD. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the LORD. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”
Beloved child to everything there is a season; this means there is a certain beginning to every level of your life but there is also a certain end. Seasons are marked by certain characteristics that ultimately lead to My bigger plan in and for the earth. Certainly as the spring follows the winter so I have ordained and appointed a time of freedom, fruitfulness and prosperity to follow a season of captivity, barrenness and lack. In your season of captivity you were subject to those things that inhibited and confined you but were for the purpose of pruning, sharpening and preparing you for your destiny and purpose. Now I will bring you out of that narrow place and I will enlarge your borders and your territory in your season of freedom. In this season of freedom you will breakout and breakthrough in My promise and you shall experience all the goodness that I so freely bestow on you because of My great favor, love, mercy and grace toward you. I am saying to you today that an appointed time is in your midst. I will end your season of captivity and restore your hope for the days of freedom that are just ahead. I am He who has set the captives free; now stand in My freedom and move without restraint or restriction into your destiny, says the Lord.
1 Chronicles 4:10 “Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.”
