As evil seems to continue to rule the day, it's hard not to be discouraged. Are our prayers effective? Will things ever get better?

We have watched as abortion bills are passed during the night. The shipping industry grinds to a halt, preventing much needed products from delivery. Voter fraud is ignored. Vaccine mandates steal our freedom of choice. Is there any hope?

Recently I heard a word from the Lord in a dream. He said, "From now on, things are going to be easier."

In the dream, my daughter, Breanne and I were at work. But our offices were in a different location than our actual building. In the dream they sat high upon a hill or mountain, in a very expansive building. She and I were preparing to leave for what felt was the weekend.

I walked to my vehicle, (the same one I have now) and got in to leave. I saw Breanne had left me a note on my steering wheel. It read, "Enjoy! What are your plans for your two days off?"

I started up the vehicle and began to drive out of the parking lot. The first thing I noticed was it was downhill all the way. I didn't even have to give my vehicle gas. It simply glided effortlessly down the hill. The second thing I noticed was the smoothness of the road. It was newly paved and a pleasant drive. I don't think I have ever been on such a road, so wide and easy on which to drive. It even felt smooth.

Driving down the hill, I had to slow to veer onto the highway. As I did, I noticed the road was the same—newly paved and smooth. I looked around in amazement and thought, "Wow, these are the smoothest roads I have ever driven on!"

Suddenly the Lord spoke to me and said, "From now on things are going to get easier."

I replied, "You have said that to me before in times past."

He reiterated His statement, "NOW, things are going to get easier—can't you SEE it?!"

I knew when He said "see it" He meant perceive it.

I also knew the road on which I was driving, how smooth, pleasant, and easy it seemed to be, was what He wanted me to see. This was how the days ahead would become.

Then I woke up.

"Comfort, yes, comfort My people!" Says your God. "Speak comfort to Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; For she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins." The voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight and the rough places smooth; The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken (Is 40:1-5.)

Isaiah 45:2 says, "I will go before you and level the mountains to make the crooked places straight."

In the dream, this is what it felt like God had done. He had gone before us, leveled the mountain and made the crooked places straight.

This encouraged me as we have been speaking to mountains knowing God's Word says when we speak to the mountain, it must move.

Things are going to get easier. Can we perceive it?

Isaiah 43:19 says, "Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

In the Strong's Concordance, "perceive" is defined as a resonating sense of inner discernment.

To believe "things are going to get easier now," we must have God's perspective. We must see things from His point of view.

Looking at our world today, it appears things are getting worse. Are we willing to trust and believe what GOD says? "Things are going to get easier!"

There is always hope in God and the Word of God says His hope does not disappoint.

He gave this dream to encourage our hearts. We must choose to continue to hope in God and His Word.

We must choose to believe what He said and partner with that truth. God says things are going to get easier therefore, I am going to believe it. I choose to see from His perspective and not my limited view. That's my confession—how about you?

Does this word resonate with you? What are you hearing from the Lord?
