DECEMBER 4, 2025
In prayer, I heard the Lord say:
“Today’s the day of breaking out. Today’s the day of breaking forth. The days of the Shining Ones have come! Though thick darkness blankets the Earth, behold! A great light has shown! My Shining Ones are emerging from their caves of preparation and incubation! In the hidden places, I have been cultivating hunger and desperation for Me in their hearts, determination to stay the course with forehead set like flint on the charted course Into their intended destination. The heart of an Overcomer is birthed in one who refuses to relent, back down, hunker down, or turn around. It is these ones I can trust with My glory because every cost has been counted, and they have determined that what lies ahead is worth the journey.”
As Father spoke this word, He reminded me of a unit study on sea turtles I did while homeschooling our children. When it comes time for a new generation to be birthed and arise, the mother lays up to 200 eggs and bury them in the sands of the beach for protection.
They undergo extensive incubation and the conditions of the sands greatly affect their growth potential. At the appointed time of their birth they emerge from their shells, and immediately began surfacing to begin their arduous journey to the waters. This is not for the faint of heart.
They are then exposed to predators awaiting their emergence, seeking to devour them before they even make it to the ocean. Their vision and focus is drawn to light of the horizon and they advance towards it. The percentage of turtles that actually make it into the ocean is small and of those who overcome the dangers of the waters is slim. As they continue their pilgrimage, it decreases until the true Overcomers are found.
And yet their steadfast spirit is impressive.
As I pondered on this, He brought me back to a word He spoke on March 13, 2023 upon waking, “Altar turtles are needed in this hour.”
When I inquired of the Lord about this, He said:






There is a steadfast spirit that is forged over time in the furnace of holiness that causes one to be steadfastly immovable and persevering in advancing, come what may. Every potential attachment has been severed and it is these ones who can do the impossible because they have learned that it’s only possible because of The One Who is The I AM-possible pouring forth Grace and Glory. He is their Father and Jesus, the Commander of Angel Armies leads their charge.
Psalms 60:11-12 TPT
“Give us a father’s help when we face our enemies. For to trust in any man is an empty hope. With God’s help we will fight like heroes, and he will trample down our every foe!”
(It’s amazing that David titled this psalm: “To the Pure and Shining One”)
Isaiah 60:1-3 TPT
““Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh’s glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of his glory appears over you! Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day.”
If this resonates with you, know that the warfare was all your training ground to level up in the spirit.
If you pressed through the relentless tirade pit against you and did not quit your race but kept your gaze focused on the horizon, then NOW is the time to emerge Shining One! Those wandering in the dark need your guiding light to pierce the veil of death’s shadow and illuminate their path forward!
