There has been a significant build-up in the spirit over the past few months. I have been sensing a great release on the way this Passover season. The spiritual atmosphere has been heavily pregnant, and I sense the waters are about to break.

The Bride is being prepared for something she has not yet seen.

Two nights ago, as our family was praying, we felt led to pray for the release of the breaker anointing. The breaker anointing of Jesus breaks the yokes and strongholds standing in the way of His victory for His people. I keep hearing this scripture in my spirit:

"The kingdom of God has come near." — Mark 1:15

Passover is known to be a season of fulfilment and new beginnings. In the book of Exodus, God instructed the Israelites to keep the feast of Passover, and declared that the month in which they kept it would become the biblical new year. (Exodus 12:1)

Again, we see in the book of Joshua that shortly after they observed the Passover, they took possession of the promised land by conquering Jericho. (Joshua 5:10)

Jesus was the perfect Passover lamb, and following His death and resurrection, a new era began. He was raised on the first day of a new week—or the eighth day, depending on how you look at it—which in Hebrew thought has always symbolised new beginnings, the start of a new cycle beyond the complete.

Passover is therefore a significant marker in the spiritual realm, defined by fulfilment, the breakthrough of the torn veil, resurrection, and new beginnings.

A Season of Circumcision of the Heart

Yet before every new beginning comes a cutting away—and this season has been no different.

This season, leading up to Passover, has been filled with various tests and trials—on a higher level and with increased intensity. It is designed to test the faithfulness of the Bride and to build endurance into her. God is purifying His Bride. He is unveiling the areas of her life that have not yet been subjected to the refiner's fire. He has been circumcising our hearts.

This season has required deep surrender and radical faith in the very areas of our lives we always hoped God would never test. The areas where we said, "Just not this, Lord." The areas we wanted to preserve out of fear. Those are the very places where God desires surrender, because He wants to show us that we can trust Him—especially there.

The purpose of this season of intense testing is so that God's sovereignty and glory can be revealed through our lives—especially in those very areas we never wanted to allow Him into, because we were too afraid. In the testing, God is showing up in those places and showing that He is God. Much like Elijah on Mount Carmel, God has been calling His people to a moment of public, costly obedience—where everything is on the line, and only He can deliver. Those who said yes to that call are now entering their showdown.

The Bride is not a passive observer in this hour—she is being called to her own Mount Carmel moment, and those who answered that call are now entering their season of expansion.

Giving Birth to the Overcomers!

Those who have faithfully endured the circumcision of the heart and showed unwavering faith in the midst of extreme difficulties are now having their obstacles removed in the spirit. You are attaining a new level of victory, and God is expanding you. This is what it was all about—expansion. God is expanding you and entrusting you with what you have been prepared for.

I want to make something clear: being faithful does not mean being strong. It simply means you keep showing up. You keep believing and refuse to give up—even when you feel utterly weak. It is the realisation that it is not on us; it is on Him. It is simply believing that He is going to do it.

In this birthing season of expansion, keep your eyes on Jesus. Stay focused. A woman in labour does not lose focus and return to the normal activities of life—she simply can't. One thing is required of her, and that is to give birth to new life. Do not let the enemy lure you out of the birthing room and distract you with the cares and demands of this world. Keep your eyes on Jesus and focus on the assignment.

The Bride who endured the refining is now being entrusted with greater influence, capacity, authority, and new assignments. This is what she was being prepared for.

"And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promise." — Hebrews 6:11–12

Part two is coming soon—and what happened while I was writing this will amaze you! God's expanding work is being confirmed in real time!
