A new season is upon us, and with every new season comes a distinct move of God and a specific people He appoints to carry His agenda forward. From the outpouring of the Spirit in Acts 2 to the prophetic promise in Joel 2:28, Scripture consistently shows that when God intends to act in a new way, He first releases His Spirit upon men.
God’s desire has always been to dwell among His people. In Exodus 25:30, He instructed that His presence be continually represented, not as a distant concept but as an active reality. Jeremiah 10:23 reminds us that man cannot successfully order his own steps without divine direction. For God to establish His rulership and will on the earth, He chooses to inhabit human vessels. Psalm 115:16 makes it clear: the earth has been given to the children of men, but God governs it by dwelling within them.
This pattern becomes clearer in Acts 6:1–8. When a crisis arose in the early church, the solution did not come directly from the apostles. Instead, God raised specific men — selected, prepared, and appointed — to serve as emissaries for that moment. Not everyone was chosen. Just seven men were identified as carriers of the solution for the times they were in.
As we step into a new season, God will again appoint emissaries — people He will send ahead to interpret, carry, and implement His will. These emissaries are not defined by visibility or popularity, but by substance.
First, they are full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom. Not merely having the Spirit, but being full of Him — men and women who have eaten deeply from intimacy with God. They are people of fervent prayer, because those who do not pray consistently will eventually faint (Luke 18:1).
Secondly, they are people of personal prayer. Their spiritual lives are not sustained by congregational prayers alone. Like Daniel, who maintained a disciplined prayer life regardless of opposition (Daniel 6:4,10), these emissaries have private altars. Prayer is not occasional for them; it is habitual, intentional, and focused. They pray until prayer ceases to be a burden and becomes a lifestyle.
Thirdly, they are people of proven character. Their faith does not need to be announced — it is evident. Their lives, choices, and conduct speak clearly. By their fruits, they are known. Character authenticates calling.
Finally, they are interpreters. These emissaries possess the capacity to discern and correctly interpret what God is doing. Prayer, for them, is not an end in itself but a means. True prayer births something. It produces clarity, direction, and understanding. Daniel’s persistence in prayer positioned him to interpret the king’s dream accurately when the moment demanded it.
Without interpretation, prayer can become noise. Some people receive signs but misinterpret them; others miss the signs entirely. A life given to prayer sharpens discernment and ensures that the right signs are read correctly. Interpretation allows believers to posture themselves properly for what God is bringing.
Grace, too, finds expression through this combination. Grace is not invisible — it manifests through action and obedience. When prayer and accurate interpretation come together, grace is released in visible ways. Prophetic words find fulfilment, and divine assignments gain traction.
Many believers struggle through seasons unnecessarily because they lack interpretation. Some prophecies remain suspended, not because God has failed, but because understanding has not yet come. Life without interpretation leads to confusion, misaligned effort, and missed visitations.
Jesus lamented over Jerusalem in Luke 19:42–44 because they did not discern their time of visitation. Silence does not mean absence. Like a pilot who speaks at take-off and landing but remains silent mid-flight, God may be quiet in certain seasons — not because He has left, but because He is still in control.
In this new season, God is calling His people to pray with understanding, to wait for interpretation, and to discern their times accurately. These are the emissaries He will use — men and women positioned to decode His movements and carry His solutions into the world.
