“I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden wealth of secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.”

Isaiah 45:2-3, NASB

As you may know, the Lord has been highlighting the heart to me over the last couple weeks; He has been emphasizing how a deep healing is taking place in the heart of his bride, and hearts are being restored in 2023! However, I feel like the Lord wants to add to this word by declaring proper alignment and clear vision for the upcoming year.

This is what I sense the Lord is saying: “Beloved, just as you have allowed me to access the deep places of your heart, I am bringing you full circle. I am bringing proper alignment to many areas of your life that have previously been disarrayed.

“I am restoring your confidence and anointing your eyes to see with clarity and precision like never before. Your ear is being fine-tuned to hear my still, small voice. The fog and confusion of the previous season will lift, and you will know my goodness in ways you can’t even imagine.

“This will be a year to boldly step into the new things that I have in store for you. You will be able to discern the blue prints that I have for your life. The things that once seemed unattainable to you will soon be within your reach. Watch as I make the crooked places straight and the rough places smooth. Be encouraged, for new hope and new joy are your portion! Step into this new year with assurance, knowing that I am the God who goes before you.

“Hold fast and anticipate proper alignment and new vision in the days to come.”
