In part one, I shared what I was sensing prophetically this Passover season—that the Bride is being expanded, and that God is giving her greater influence, capacity, and authority. I hinted at the end of that post that something significant was happening in real time as I wrote. This is the full story.

If you haven't read part one yet, please do so here before continuing.

The following post is lengthy—take your time to read and internalise it. I pray it encourages and strengthens you in your own walk with your heavenly Bridegroom. May you see in it a story far bigger than ours—one God is telling through this sequence of events.

The Day We Were Cut to the Heart

On the 25th of December 2025, an interesting event took place in our home. It was a morning filled with sorrow—we had just received news of the passing of our beloved sister in Christ. Heidi Mitchell was a true example of a living sacrifice—someone who followed the Lamb in radical obedience.

She set such an example of loving and steadfast endurance in the face of incredible difficulty. Her life was a seed for many to follow in her footsteps. While my husband and I were processing her devastating loss, our eldest son came to sit next to me on the bed and played with my wedding ring on my finger. I got a bit annoyed with him, so I took the ring off and placed it on the bed. Our son took the ring and left the room. A while later, he came back and said that it was stuck on his finger. I didn’t pay much attention to it and told him I would help him in a while. After a few minutes, he returned again, in much distress, with his finger badly swollen.

We were desperately attempting to remove the ring–we tried everything you can possibly think of, but the ring remained stuck. After more than an hour of struggling, our son was in a lot of pain. My husband suggested cutting the ring, but I refused—I was adamant I could get it off. After one last attempt, I sensed the Holy Spirit clearly saying to me, “you need to cut the ring.” I then gave in and told my husband to cut it.

At that moment, he made a comment that hit me between the eyes. He said, “Sometimes we need to be broken, to receive the promises of God.”  As he left to cut the ring, I sensed something happening prophetically in the spirit.  I felt that once the ring was cut, it would be expanded when repaired.

I could feel a strong link between Heidi’s passing and the ring being cut on that very day. Her loss felt like a deep cut to our hearts, as if something precious had been taken from us, and that the ring was symbolic of that loss. My husband's words echoed in my spirit, “You need to be broken, to receive the promises of God.”

Called to a Prophetic Lifestyle

Early on in our walk with Jesus, He revealed to us that we were called to live a prophetic lifestyle. That He would use our lives to display deeper prophetic meaning and mysteries for the sake of His kingdom.

Scripture is full of examples where the Lord communicated through prophetic signs and prophetic actions.  After Saul tore Samuel’s garment, Samuel stated that God would, in like manner, tear the Kingdom away from Saul (1 Sam 15:27-28). Through this, we see that God, by His sovereign hand, used a prophetic sign to demonstrate what would later take place exactly as Samuel declared. God still uses prophetic signs to speak to His people.

The Lord often speaks to people called to a prophetic lifestyle in this manner. We came to understand that these events in our lives are not random, but God is using them as symbols and signs to show us the counsel of His will. He is not merely showing us things—they actually come to fulfilment, just as foreshadowed. God reveals His sovereign power through these prophetic signs! This is something that deeply excites me.

More than Just a Ring

In order to understand the incredible prophetic significance of the ring, I want to share its backstory with you.

When we made the ring fifteen years ago, it was a complete failure at first—it simply didn't look the way it was meant to. During the time we planned our wedding, the Lord gave me several significant dreams, revealing to us that our wedding was a prophetic event and that He would use it to speak to us. There are many details that I cannot share now. But in that season, we were very intentional about everything that happened around our wedding, using it as a tool of intercession for the Bride of Christ, praying that she would prepare herself for the wedding of the Lamb.

So, when the ring flopped, we knew something else was happening in the spiritual realm. As we sought the Lord earnestly on this matter, He revealed to us that my ring was symbolic of His bride. She doesn’t look the way she ought to look, the way He desires for her to look. Man thinks they know what God wants, and we build Him a church according to our understanding and present it to Him. This, often, is not according to His heart's desire.

So, we had to remake the ring. The second time, we had a designer sketch it exactly to scale, symbolising the pattern of God’s Ekklēsia “According to all that I am showing you—the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings—you must make it exactly so” Exodus 25:9 NET.

But the ring kept flopping, to our great frustration, as I was eager to have my ring. But I sensed the Lord saying that His bride is not ready, and He is putting her back into the fire. I realised that I should stop praying for my ring, but pray for the bride instead. When I asked the Lord when I will have my ring as I was quite worried that I won’t have my ring on our wedding day, I felt Him asking me, “When do you think My bride will be ready?” on which I answered Him “probably just before You return Lord” I sensed Him respond, “Yes, so you will get your ring just before the wedding!”

Exactly seven days before our wedding, we received the ring!

In light of this background, the moment the ring was cut, I knew another prophetic story was unfolding. Something significant is happening with the Bride of Christ in this hour.

The Breaking That Makes Room

The remnant bride has been facing seasons of intense hardship for the past few years—tests and trials on a whole new level. We came face to face with our giants, and many even endured betrayal by fellow brethren.

God has been preparing us for expansion. This doesn’t come easy. It doesn’t come cheap. The process of preparation has broken us. Many feel lost in the transition and are still hanging by a thread.  Waiting. Anticipating the change to come.

What has been slowly built into us is character. The character and nature of Jesus. Without this, we would not be able to steward the responsibility of the expansion. Through the cutting, the Lord was making room for the new. Making room for His Kingdom to come into our lives–unlike what we have experienced before.

The Passover Confirmation

After the ring was cut, I sensed the Lord leading me not to fix it right away, but to allow the process to unfold in the spiritual realm as we walked it out in the natural. I obeyed and knew that He would clearly instruct me when it was the right time.

One morning, about two months after the ring was cut, I had a sudden and intense longing to wear my ring. I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me that it is time to repair it. So, I took the ring in on the 31st of March, just before Passover, not knowing how long it would take to be repaired. We prayed over the process, knowing it was deeply symbolic.

The next day, on the 1st of April, the Holy Spirit urged me to write the blog post about the expansion of the bride (part 1, which I referred to). Then, on the second of April—Passover on the Hebrew calendar—I felt an urgency to finish the blog post. I sensed the word about expansion needed to be released that day, and I laboured through it with three children playing around me!

Our children were spiritually tuned in that day. They kept commenting on the crucifixion of Jesus, since we had celebrated the Passover meal the night before. While I wrote, I quietly wondered in the back of my mind whether something was happening with the ring. But I yielded my thoughts and curiosity, knowing Jesus was in control. I was focused on finishing the word on expansion, sensing something big was shifting spiritually during Passover.

I finished writing at about 14:30 and emailed the blog to my husband for him to check the word. At 3 o’clock, our son Judah announced that Jesus just breathed out his last breath 2000 years ago. We know that it wasn’t the exact time, as the time zones differ in Israel, but I think you can still appreciate the symbolic value in all of this. Then, about 5 minutes after 3h, my phone rang. The goldsmith told me that he had just finished my ring a few minutes ago, and that it was ready for collection.

The timing struck me.

He had just finished.

Around 3 o’clock.

On Passover.

I felt the weight of what happened in the spiritual realm. I ran to my husband, and tears were streaming down my face.

On Passover, the symbolic expansion of the bride took place.  In real time, while I was writing about the expansion, it was happening!

Jesus has announced a new season! The bride is being expanded.

Just as I wrote in part one, He is giving her greater influence, capacity, and authority—and what she has been labouring for, for so long, is coming to pass soon.

Things are Shifting

Does this mean things will immediately get easier? Not necessarily. But the purpose of the cutting and the breaking has been revealed. The new season has been announced. We can take heart and remain hopeful in Him.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”

— Romans 5:5 —

So, take heart, weary Bride, because hope does not disappoint!

The expansion has taken place, and soon it will begin to manifest in our lives.

The Healing of the Bride

Before you can enter the season of resurrection, you need to heal!

This is such a crucial part of the journey! We cannot skip this process with the Holy Spirit in this season. The cutting that took place in the past seasons has left many feeling disoriented and in pain. We need to face what we went through and process it with the Holy Spirit.

Whatever remains undealt with will become a foothold for trauma—and those are precisely the areas the enemy will target in the future.

On the fifth of April, the morning of resurrection Sunday, our family did a prophetic event where my husband gave me the ring, and we prophetically declared the expansion of the bride in the spiritual realm.

It was a morning filled with great joy, and it was precious to witness our three children's exuberant delight throughout! We were so blessed by their childlike faith, but also by the fact that we could see that their spirits understood what was taking place.

But moments before my husband gave me the ring, our eldest son was suddenly very emotional. He disengaged and sat down on the couch. The traumatic event of the day that the ring was stuck on his finger suddenly surfaced.

In that moment, we clearly sensed the Holy Spirit saying, stop. We obeyed and took the time to deal with the emotions that our son was facing. My husband sat beside him on the couch and gently helped him process his feelings.

Yes, it took time and may have looked like a distraction—but it was not.

Healing is a crucial part of the expansion. We cannot step into the promises while we are still bound and traumatised by the events of the past.

Beloved Bride, Don’t Just Move On. Stop! Allow Yourself To Heal.

The new season of expansion will be beautiful, it will be fruitful, but first, take a moment and sit down on the couch next to Jesus and heal. He is waiting.

“But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings.”

— Malachi 4:2 —

Part three is coming soon—in it, my husband Gideon will share the revelation that brought healing to our son—a revelation that will bring healing to many!

May you encounter God’s healing power in this season as you draw near to Him.
