Isa 61:7 NKJV Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double ;
2 Kings 2:9-10 NKJV And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?" Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." 10 So he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." [ God is the giver so Elijah couldn’t promise for sure ]
Yesterday I kept seeing doubles. I was getting double emails in my box. I made eggs and there was a double-yolk egg. At dinner when Sally took me out, they had a photo of double hamburgers. It was 3/22/27 when I kept seeing doubles so in there is also a triple - 222.
Note the time I looked at the clock when I sensed the Lord wanting to speak to me :
So I heard the still small voice…
“ Does it not say that I will restore DOUBLE ? Does it not say I will also render DOUBLE to the wicked ? There will be double grace for those who say YES to Me. There will be DOUBLE rewards for those who have persevered to OVERCOME. I DELIGHT IN THOSE WHO LOVE ME. I delight to give good gifts to My children, to My bride. I am a generous Lover, and I am not slack concerning all I have promised. I know you have waited such a long time, but all heaven has waited far longer to see what I will do in this hour. So persevere just a bit longer for it will be SO WORTH IT BELOVEDS ! Your heart will thrill with delight. You will be filled with JOY for all I do in this hour.
The enemy is restless, and trying so hard to trip up My children one way or another to steal what I have intended. Keep on beloveds, for you have not yet suffered unto death, yet many of My children have suffered unto death and given their lives. What you have suffered is nothing compared to many nations. I WILL MAKE YOU STRONG LIKE MY HORSE IN BATTLE. [ Zech 10] I will not neglect to perfect all that I want in you ! I will restore to Myself a spotless bride. All the pain is worth the GAIN. DOUBLE PORTION awaits all who will call on My name.
Know also that double judgment will come down on the wicked who refuse to come to Me ! Those whose hearts have become hardened and calloused, and unpliable, stubborn and unwilling will be putty in My hands, for I will do a startling thing in this hour. There will be no excuse for not turning to Me. Signs and wonders will be as never before beloveds. YOU will be walking signs and wonders, many of you ! Though you have been downtrodden and afflicted, I have redeemed you from the curse, and I have conquered DEATH. So look UP, for Your Redemption draws nigh. I am coming to bring down every mountain, to elevate every valley. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I AM the God of JESHURUN, and I am seeking all who will bend to My will to follow after ME.
Do not rely on things. Do not rely on other men and women. Do not RELY on this world, but RELY ON MY INTERVENTION. RELY ON MY LOVE, MY PEACE, MY POWER, MY INSTRUCTION, MY WISDOM, MY UNDERSTANDING, MY COMPASSION, MY PATIENCE. I AM YOUR RESOURCE REMEMBER ? YOU ARE NOT TO BE SELF CONFIDENT, OR SELF SUFFICIENT, BUT SUFFICIENT IN MY GRACE , MY POWER. RELY ON ME, and you have NOTHING to fear.
It is a time of hiddeness and communion with ME. Come, Come, Come and let me teach you great and awesome things which you do not know. For I am Your loving Father, and I long to share My heart with you beloveds. My heart is ever toward you. Jesus is ever interceding on your behalf. You have a KING in your midst. DO NOT COWER in the corner. STAND up and be counted ! STAND UP and PROCLAIM MY PROMISES. STAND UP and DECLARE MY GLORY. MY POWER is greater within you than you think or imagine. The time for HEALING has come. I AM ARISING. The enemy knows and seeks to kill whom he can. The BLOOD protects you. THE BLOOD has washed away your sins. So do not give in to condemnation. You have a way unknown to anyone other than blood washed believers in through the veil. There is no shame that can cling to you when you come honestly before ME, surrendering to ME.
Turmoil will arise in the east and within your borders America. You MUST LEARN TO DEPEND ON ME. I ALONE am the PERFECT ONE. I alone can defeat the enemy within your borders. So PRAY with confidence for those who are among you to be saved. PRAY for your enemies. Ask ME for LOVE to love them with. ASK ME for who to speak to, and who not. If I am FOR you, who can be against you ? If I walk with you, as I do, then what have you to be afraid of ? TRUST in ME with all of your heart and lean NOT on your own understanding. DESTINY is at the DOOR ! “
My thoughts then went to the young man I know down the block who was confronted by two chollo’s while praying for someone , at gunpoint. But when he raised his head and opened his eyes and they looked into his eyes, FEAR came on them and they RAN off. He’s in his early 20’s, with an apostolic call on his life. God is already teaching him that HE has conquered death, so that he will not fear anything. Be encouraged by these scriptures…

Hosea 2:22-23 NKJV The earth shall answer with grain, with new wine, and with oil; They shall answer Jezreel. 23 Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were not My people, 'You are My people!' And they shall say, 'You are my God!'"
Mark 2:22 NKJV And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins."
Zech 9:12- 17 NKJV 12 Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you. 13 For I have bent Judah, My bow, Fitted the bow with Ephraim, And raised up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Greece, And made you like the sword of a mighty man." 14 Then the LORD will be seen over them, And His arrow will go forth like lightning. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, And go with whirlwinds from the south. 15 The LORD of hosts will defend them; They shall devour and subdue with slingstones. They shall drink and roar as if with wine; They shall be filled with blood like basins, Like the corners of the altar. 16 The LORD their God will save them in that day, As the flock of His people. For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, Lifted like a banner over His land — 17 For how great is its goodness And how great its beauty! Grain shall make the young men thrive, And new wine the young women.
Isa 45:1-3 NKJV Cyrus, God's Instrument - "Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held — To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, so that the gates will not be shut: 2 'I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron. 3 I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
1 Tim 5:17-18 NKJV Honor the Elders
Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine. 18 For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain," and, "The laborer is worthy of his wages."
Rev 18:1-8 NKJV After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury." 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.' 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day — death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her.
