There is a stirring in the heavens, a trembling in the unseen realm, and a quickening in the hearts of God’s people. Something is moving—something ancient, something holy, something promised before the foundation of the world. And though the eyes of the natural man do not behold it, the Bride feels it. She knows it. A whisper from Eternity is brushing against her soul.
“Look up… your redemption draws near.”

THE HOUR OF SHADOWS AND THE LIGHT BEYOND THEM
We are living in an hour when darkness seems to stretch its long fingers across the earth. Men’s hearts fail them for fear, and nations stagger beneath confusion. But remember, friends, shadows can only gather when a great Light is soon to appear. The deepest night comes just before the rising of the sun—and the greatest spiritual pressure comes just before the breaking of the supernatural dawn.
The supernatural is more real than the natural, if only our eyes were opened. This is that hour. The veil between dimensions grows thin. The pull of that unseen world becomes stronger. Heaven is leaning close to the earth, and the Bride feels the tug—not downward, but upward.
THE SIGNAL IN THE SOUL
Long before God moves in the visible realm, He stirs the heart of His people. The eagle knows when the storm is coming long before the clouds appear. She lifts her wings and prepares for higher air. So it is with the Bride of Christ today. Something in her spirit knows—this is not the end for her, but the beginning.
There is a heavenly homing signal calling her higher.
Not a shout of panic. Not a call of fear. But a gentle, holy drawing: “Come up higher… come away, My beloved.”
And though the world hears nothing, the Bride hears everything.
THE SIGNS AROUND US
We see the signs on the earth—rumblings among nations, a collapsing of moral foundations, a shaking in the natural world. But the true sign is not in the newspaper; it is in the believer’s heart.
The Holy Spirit is quickening, awakening, stirring—just as the prophet spoke, “It’s the rising of the sun.” And if He is rising, then His Bride must rise with Him.
We are not called to look down at the dust, the confusion, the shadows. We are not called to fear what the world fears. We are called to look up.
Look up, for redemption is a Person. Look up, for redemption is drawing near to gather His own. Look up, for the trumpet is being polished, the angels are taking their places, and Time is beginning to bow before Eternity.
THE FINAL CALL OF LOVE
In these mystical moments—moments when Heaven and earth nearly touch—there is a sweetness, a gentleness, a final wooing from the Spirit.
He is calling: “Bride, trim your lamp. Keep watch. Lift your eyes.”
This is not a call of judgment, but of union. Not a call of wrath, but of homecoming. Not a call to fear, but a call to fellowship with the One who loved you before the first dawn ever broke upon the waters.
LOOK UP
Oh Bride of Christ, do not let your head hang low. Do not let your heart be heavy. Do not let the noise of the world drown out the whisper of the Spirit.
Lift your eyes. Lift your faith. Lift your expectation.
For beyond the turmoil of this passing world…Beyond the veil that hides the unseen…Beyond the trials of this temporary road…
Your Redemption—Jesus Christ, the King—is drawing near.
And soon—very soon—the cry will go out, the trumpet will sound, the Bride will rise, and Time will melt into Eternity.
Look up… your redemption draws near.
